Cyanoa

Twix found himself flying around aimlessly. The map in his claws had worn thin with time and overuse, and he was nervous to pull it out anymore. He'd been resting somewhere between the Viridian Labyrinth and Sunbeam Ruins when he stumbled upon a fellow traveler, by the name of BananaTree. She'd flown by him in a whirlwind, and had only turned around for the small journal she'd dropped. Seeing the hunger in his eyes, she offered for him to follow her to the Tangled Wood, where she was heading to meet up with friends. He hesitated, almost too long, and she jumped into the air, hovering slightly before turning around and zipping off. Twix shook his head before tucking his things back into his small sack, and hurrying after her, "Wait up!" he called out.

After nearly two full days of following BananaTree, Twix was beginning to regret his decision, maybe it would have been better to have gone home. She did not stop talking. Energetic, optimistic, and enthusiastic.... she was a nightmare to travel with. She'd stopped mid-flight, causing him to crash into a tree and drop to the forest floor. The scenery here was oddly purple, and he found himself looking around at everything. BT landed softly next to him and extended a claw, "Sorry," she said softly, "We're here."
Twix stared at her, "There's nothing here?"
"Look closer," she whispered.

Twix moved his head around, taking in everything for the first time.
The layout of this clan was incredibly similar to the building styles of Oasis Kingdom, and yet, completely different. It was apparent to him that this clan had also moved in after the original inhabitants had long gone. They had added in their own architecture, similar to the old style, but much more their size. It was beautiful to see all of it tied together. Instead of a beautiful oasis in the center of their clan, there was a large creature, with stone seating carved into the ground, leading to an alter of some sort in the center. Twix stared at the engravings that were etched into the base of it, trying to understand what they meant, however he had never seen anything like this before.

He spent many months trying to uncover their meanings and learn the secrets of the clan, but everyone in Shades' Run refused to speak on it.

He would leave without a single answer to all of the questions that swirled around in his head.
