This world is beautiful! And wow, does it feel good to breathe fresh air again...

I've been traveling for days and there is so much to tell, but I have to be brief. Ara is waiting. This world is called Sylvaneth. The air is rich and the ground beneath my paws feels somehow more... intense. All the plants and animals seem familiar at first glance but then you see strange differences... Winged frog-like creatures and carnivorous deer-like creatures that hunt them. Plants and trees with purple, red and yellow leaves that glitter in the dark.

I get a sense of peace but also, I was almost eaten by a giant winged creature. I am used to those, of course, but I've had to keep my guard up. After a long time traveling around in these wetlands, I could not find another rabbit hole - and then Ara appeared. She came out of the water. Deep ochre skin and black robes (or hair?). She offered help.

She told me she was not able to create a portal to another world, but she could make one that would take me to a place of high energy, still in this world, where a portal is likely to be. I gratefully accepted.
