Luneshale Pass Doors opened

For @Machiavelli <3

Next to a slowly dwindling river, a small, shadowy traveler paused within a world unknown. Born within mountains that now stood far beyond the horizon. The cold stone that cut beneath and the thick woods that climbed the slopes. Water that fell from heights above and pooled into vast lakes.

This desolate patch was no such place.

The sun sweltered over white stone. Some of which fragmenting under pressure and clattering across the more durable terrain. Shrubs made their mark as they clung to life. Yet as the sky darkened, the very ground seemed to glow. A quiet buzz turned into a steady hum as insects began to rise and flit through the air.

Rooke blinked his eyes fiercely against the persisting glow. Eyes rounding once he opened them again. Twinkling with awe as a travel worn expression brightened into a smile. Folded ears perked and a tail began to wave.

A small flash passed across the stone and Rooke started after it with a gleeful bark. A rodent? It didn't matter! He let loose a laugh for none but himself as he ran.

This was the prettiest place he had seen since leaving home.
