Remembra

A festival begins at dusk on the outskirts of a forest. While taking a break from fortune tellers and fun houses, you notice a miniscule mushroom behind one of the refreshment booths. It glows faintly in the waning light. A trail of glowing blue fungi leads straight into the forest from the edge of the fairgrounds. Feeling a sense of adventure, you follow it.

Upon reaching the edge of the woods, you check over your shoulder to make sure that... You're not sure of what, exactly. That you haven't been spirited away when you weren't paying attention? Or maybe that you aren't being followed? Either way, the festival carries on, and so do you.

The glowing mushrooms grow in size and are easier to track. After a few minutes of following them, a warm, fuzzy feeling creeps over you. The glow of the shrooms is hypnotic and soothing. As you approach the last one, you are greeted by a magician.

"I hope you've had a good break, traveler." He gives you a glowing orb. "Crack this open when you're ready for a surprise." He wanders off, and it slowly dawns on you that you're back at the tent where you started, holding a mysterious orb.
