Mary Sue Sapphire arrives during The Peace of the Trees
Permalink Mark Unread

Being moved between worlds by The Spirit is an experience in contradictions. She feels the touch of something so much bigger than her, that is both entirely unstoppable but also extraordinarily gentle and delicate. She can feel something as her new powers settle into her at once as an overwhelming otherness and also as a perfect match like they were always meant to be there. She can't tell how long it takes, it could be an instant or an eternity. She knows it's not an eternity though The Spirit will keep it's promises. She trusts in that.

And then her glimpse of beyond ends.

To any outside observer there's a faint glow in the air with a hint of otherness that somehow resolves into the outline of a young woman with reddish hair wearing a dark blue dress with thin shoulder straps that shows a bit of cleavage and comes down to mid thigh. Her feet have well made sandals suited for walking. Her dress flutters a bit in a wind that might not have been there before she arrived.

Something about this nature of this place is attuned to the wind, however, because the wind doesn't flutter meekly about her skirts, and it doesn't die down. Instead it curls around her in a tight spiral, and then turns and races outward across the grass, vanishing into the distance.

Other than wind, the things that stand out about this place are: bright, noon-time sunlight; an endless sea of rich green grass; a complete lack of trees and other structures;

... and a deep, slow thumping that seems to rattle the earth.

She looks around curiously. A part of her was expecting to arrive near people but she's up for a bit of a walk. The thrumming is a bit more of a concern. She's also not sure if the wind was a dramatic part of her arrival or something about this place.

She has powers though she wants to experience those. She closes her eyes for a moment and her attention turns to her new inner world. She's standing on a wooden dock looking out at a lake and a distant shore. Over to the side she can see a rope swing hanging from a massive tree and behind her there's a cozy little house nestled among more trees. There's a kayak on one side of the dock that she could put in the water if she wanted.

Opening her eyes again, she looks down at her dress and it changes colors ane patterns a few times there's a white design with pink flowers, a swirly design with turquoise and light blues, a deep black with the sparkles like stars and then she returns to her original dark blue. The design shifts to, she ends with a strapless number that fits better than any strapless dress she's tried before. Clothing magic is wonderful.

What else to try... Oh right kid mode. It takes a few seconds to think in the right direction but she shrinks down to the size and shape of a child. She does a little spin with her new smaller shape.

And then returns to her adult form.

As a final test she sings a little in keys higher and lower than she could have ever reached before. That's a nice bonus. Her soundtrack kicks in to give her an instrumental accompaniment only she can hear.

Having these powers is fantastic.

And her soundtrack is supposed to be able to predict things just a little. She tries walking a few places in a few different directions to see if there's a hint in the music that one of the directions is better to walk in than another.
