The lingering glow of the setting sun draped the summit of the Dreamscape in flowing golden gauze, stretching the fairies' joyous dancing silhouettes long.
The soft radiance of fluorite and glowing mushrooms vied with the sunset clouds on the horizon, while the sweet fragrance of food and the fresh scent of grass and trees grew ever richer in the air.
Yan Huan carried a cup of sweet fruit juice with a faint trace of bitterness, held in a tender flower bud, as he strolled through the bustling banquet.
His gaze swept across the crowd before finally settling some distance away.
Hysilens, Kryudera, and Aglaea stood beneath a massive glowing mushroom whose cap shimmered in dreamy shades of blue and violet.
Mushrooms that color were usually poisonous...
Hysilens leaned against the mushroom stalk as the evening breeze stirred her hair.
She looked upon the boisterous feast before her, her eyes deep as though she could see through this Dreamscape to the rippling light of the deep sea.
"If the fairies' dwellings in the dense forest are compared to the deep sea, then this feast is the light scattered across its surface."
Her voice carried the ethereal quality of a wandering bard.
"Dispersing the long-standing darkness and bringing hope to the fish buried beneath thick layers of silt."
"What kind of nonsense are you mumbling?"
Yan Huan approached with a faint smile and lightly tapped the flower-bud cup in his hand against her "wine cup."
"Instead of studying this pretentious nonsense, you should use the time to eat more. Look at those roasted honey chunks being carried over there. If we don't go now, there'll be nothing left but scraps."
Hysilens tilted her head slightly, her fingertips brushing the cool wall of the flower bud as a faint curve touched her lips.
