Tucked away between two mountains laid a thick forest with a hidden cave. This cave sees many forms of life, both prey and predators. Here though, life is calm and no life is wasted. It is a place to rest and grow for plants, animals, insects and other lives. Today though, there was something different found at the center of this sanctuary.
Jae, a half elf-human woman, was preparing to leave the cave after successfully foraging for the nectar of the Cooey plant. She placed the jars into her satchel, keeping the clattering of the glass silenced by using the tattered remains of her clothing to protect the prize. As she closed the lid of the bag, She noticed the silver white nectar let off a glow that made her feel like she captured the moon.
The sun had set and Jae was vibrating with energy and excitement to make the hike home. Her first few steps from the cave proved that being stripped naked might just be the best way to travel this evening.
