Celestial Seas

The painted satyr takes out a book about magic and opens it to a random page. On the page is a historic looking map. When he looks at it, Viorel sees a large tree in the middle of the forest he is near. He brings his camera to take pictures of the sky near the tree and walks out to follow the trail that his map shows. He jumps over fallen tree branches and under overgrown branches. Just when he thinks he’s in the right spot, he sees a deer that suddenly stops in its tracks and stares directly at him. After a few minutes and a few pictures, he continues to move on. Then he stops again to take a picture of the sky. He sees sparkling lights in the distance and he goes behind a tree to check it out. The lights are bright and rainbow in color as they wave across the sky.

Suddenly, as he looks back into the forest, Viorel sees a strange man over the deer he saw earlier and decides to take another picture. He wants to keep it to check it out in more detail later. When he looks back at the footage he only sees the deer but just thinks it's a bug with his camera so he decides to put it away for a bit. He finds the event strange but knows that thinking about it for too long will disrupt his search for magical items.

He continues his path to the tree. When he finally sees the tree he notices a little crystal by a hole in the large and winding roots. He picks it up and feels a tingly sensation in his bones from touching it. He starts to sit down and he starts writing in his book. He drops his pencil and when he goes to pick it up, he falls over on his side. Viorel is confused by the weird shift in his own weight and gets up to wipe his side off. The painted satyr looks at the ground to see what could have caused him to fall over, but he sees nothing holding him up. He shifts around a little once he realizes that he is floating, but tries to sit in place again. After sitting for a little while, he feels queasy and tries to touch the ground. He can feel himself moving up and into the air little by little, so he grabs the crystal out of his hair and puts it down. When he does, he falls back to the ground and a page falls out of his notebook. Looking over, he grabs the paper and reads what it says. He notices that it contains notes with a folded and taped piece of paper he’d collected from an old tome.

*These crystals near the tree have some random power in them that just makes whoever has them in their position can take hold of whatever that magic is. Be careful and mindful of the following, because the orange ones have not been well documented. At the time of documentation, nobody knows what they can do or what their properties are.*

“Well that’s strange. I’ve had this set of notes for a year and I’ve never seen this page. How come this spot in the forest is the one place that's actually magical during this time?”

Viorel continues to scribble things in his notebook for a while and watches the colors in the sky.
