Deep within the dark mossy overgrown caverns echoed giggles that sounded like jingling of bells. Flickers of color danced in the dark illuminating an equine figure sleeping soundly by a flickering lantern. The dance of lights moved closer and observed this courser as she breathed before giggling to one another. Dancing their way through her mane and down to the scarf she wore, they seemed to mock the fabric. They flitted about and gathered leaves, vines, and flowers from the surrounding growth to begin their work.

Jade felt a tickling feeling of one of the pixies wings that caused her to rouse from her sleep. Blearily she opened her eyes and could see the fading glimmer of orbs. "Wha-.." she breathed tiredly and leaned to sit up. Her movement was hindered by the tugging of foliage and vines that snared around her legs and neck. "Oh ugh! What is with this??" she exclaimed before nipping some of the vines to free herself. Jade moved to stand up and shook herself down once then trotted over to a nearby puddle with her lantern in tow.

In her reflection, Jade saw the assortment of flora that wove itself into her scarf as well as around her legs like some druidic assortment. Spiral patterns curled in the vines with flowers tucked carefully along tied with smaller stems to hold them in place. "I guess it's not terrible." she added with a subtle smile. Her eyes were tired still from her delve into the dungeon and her heart still weary with grief, yet this moment shone a bit of joy in her. Yet her smile faded when she realized just how easily the situation could have been unfortunate. "I must be more careful." she muttered and picked the lantern up going to her belongings.

She cast one last weary look over herself then around the caverns itself feeling ever so lost in this maddening labrinth. Soft jingling of bells echoed down one direction causing Jades ears to flick towards them. With nothing else to go on, she trotted in the direction of the sound.

[You wake from a short rest to find all of your equipment… Erm…. Bedazzled. Pixies are known to steal Coursers’ belongings and decorate them to their own tastes, which aren’t always the most practical in the dungeon. How fabulously inconvenient.]

 

Feeling a bit anxious when it comes to art, I decided try my hand at writing!~ Hooray for the start of Jade's adventure!
