Settling In [Pt 1]

[00 Months: 00 Days: 00 Hours]

A surge of bright light coursed through me as I finally found solid footing beneath me. 

In an instant, I felt settled, though the blinding light around me forced my eyes to remain closed.

Then, the light faded, gradually giving way to the soft caress of a cool breeze. It compelled me to open my eyes to the new world around me.

  "W-whoah..."

I stood on a tall hill, with a massive tree casting a comforting shadow nearby. Its sturdy presence provided solace amidst the unknown.

But that wasn't what left me awestruck. As I stood there, my heart pounding in my chest, I couldn't believe my eyes. The landscape before me was unlike anything I'd ever seen.

It felt as though I'd been transported to another world entirely. 

The air held a hint of unfamiliarity and adventure.

  A gentle breeze tousled my hair, carrying the scent of wildflowers and anticipation.
