“Tea first,” Lilly poured a bright blue liquid into the delicate cups before us. I had to admit it smelled amazing, warm and sweet. No matter how much I was uneasy about all the papers above us. What on earth could they be for? Were we on earth at all? I didn’t know. Either way I sipped at the liquid gratefully, letting it warm me from the inside out. After being in the cold and dark so long it was a genuine relief to just be seated and drinking in the sweetness of the liquid.

Interestingly the cup next to me smelled spicy like the apple cider that my mate was so fond of. Maybe it somehow made itself taste different to different people, or perhaps it had been brewed to our tastes specifically, but it was interesting and somehow comforting. Like we were experiencing care before the rest of our tasks in the forest were complete.

Soon soup was set in front of us, savory and vegetable heavy. I could see the carrots and potatoes floating in the broth and I dove in soon after my companion did. It tasted as good as it looked and before I knew it I was full and sated. Whatever was in it genuinely made me feel reenergized and rested without having to sleep at all.

“You must feel better now. Feel free to explore. Take as long as you like! Everything is nice here. Just take care not to go beyond the bounds of the blue forest. There’s a witch out there who will curse you if you approach. Everything else is free for exploration.

“We have to go. We need to move forward, we have a task to complete,” I explained, and she nodded solemnly.

“The artifact, of course. Many people come here seeking it, but none have ever found it yet.” Her voice was sad, wistful as if she had lost someone. “Anyways, stay for a while. Time works different here. When you leave, you’ll arrive just when you need to be.” I was silent and so was my partner. We both just looked at one another for a few moments, searching each other’s eyes.

“We’d best be exploring, then.” He said, standing suddenly.

“Wonderful! Come find me if there’s anything else you need.” She said, standing with us. “I’ll be around.”

“Let’s go,” I agreed, taking his hand, and walking off toward the path. “We’ve got to find the artifact she was talking about. It has to mean something.”

“Yeah. It’s weird that she would mention it, though. And mentioning others have vanished as well, that seems so weird.” I nodded slowly, squeezing his hand. “I think we should just follow the path to the end. Or wherever it takes us.”

“Yeah,” I said softly, walking with him down the soft, moss path. I was thankful that there was never a stone or a stick in spite of the woods around us, the softness nice on my bare feet. Would we get our Packs back? I would need the clothes and shoes I’d Packed away for this very situation.
