It is a sight many pause to appreciate, perhaps even roll out a picnic mat to eat on for a wee spell and enjoy the vast, open skies. Rarely do any think to explore the hills. The citizens think this is a right shame; theirs is a lovely place to visit, for nestled deep in the hills lies a cosy hamlet inhabited by Light Sprites, Shining Goblins and many other denizens of light. [b]Gleamhollow[/b]. It is a charmingly rural place, welcoming in its smiling faces, good food, hearty drink, and rich earth. All the houses here are snuggled deep into the earth, warmed with homely fires and laughing families. Meeting everyone has made you glad to have decided to wander the hills. Today it is quite busy. The market square is a buzzing hub of activity, familiars rushing about to finish their tasks. A gob of goblins hauls tall poles up a hill, its ropes trailing behind with multi-colored flags lazily tied to them. Fauns sit outside their shops, weaving baskets with stars woven into the sides. Spirits of Light paint banners, and you follow a whiff of apple pie towards a window showing some Sunbeam Ursas baking dozens of mouth-watering pastries inside what appears to be a bakery. A buzz of excitement and merriment lingers in the air and you can’t help the smile that curls up your face. Suddenly, a rumpled goblin runs into you and bowls you over. [columns][center][color=maroon][font=georgia][size=4] “[i][color=da9100]Sorry, sorry! You know how it is - oh![/color][/i][color=maroon]” — his eyes light up; is he excited he doesn’t recognize you? His voice is bright and jolly as he starts up again — “[/color][i][color=da9100]Wondering what the fuss is all about, were you? [b]We're getting ready for Mister Lightfinn's Birthday[/b]! He's the oldest Light Sprite in the Hollow and we're throwing the biggest party of the year in celebration! He may be a bit grumpy at times, but he's the bravest of us all and has always had our backs. His hollow is up the hill overlooking the town center. [b]You should go see if he needs help[/b]![/color][color=maroon][/i]"[/color] [nextcol][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/static/cms/familiar/art/18615.png[/img][/columns] [center][color=maroon][font=georgia][size=4]And with that, the goblin jumps up and carries on his merry way. Looking up the hill you notice a delightful little home nestled into the hill with a Light Sprite and a Faun sitting in it's tiny but lush garden. The weathered dirt and stone path leading up to the dwelling is steep and takes some time to traverse, but eventually you make your way up to the top and in front of the gate. When the Light Sprite notices you he mutters something under his breath while scurrying back inside the home. He closes the door abruptly behind him and it makes a loud thud. The faun smiles sheepishly and strolls up to the rustic garden gate where you are standing. He's holding a small clipboard and checklist and seems to be organizing all sorts of things. [columns][img]https://i.imgur.com/xtCiacH.png[/img][nextcol]"[/color][font=georgia][size=4][color=da9100][i]Heh- I'm sorry- Lumie is a little stressed out right now. We're throwing a GIGANTIC birthday party for him in a week or so and we're kinda falling behind with our preparation decorations, organization, and... well... the finances are a bit tight. I'm sure it'll all work out in the end- It always does...![/i][/color][/size][font=georgia][size=4][color=maroon]" — The faun chuckles and rubs the back of his head. He seems to get lost in thought for a minute but then suddenly he raises his writing feather to point it at you and looks at you with a spark in his eyes— [/color][/font][/size] [/columns] [font=georgia][size=4][color=maroon]"[/color][/size][/font][font=georgia][size=4][color=da9100]OH! By the way- My name is Theodulph! You can call me Theo, though. Party Planner Extraordinaire. We already have a ton of help getting the party grounds ready- everybody in the hollow is pitching in! We really would love for you to attend the festivities, though! We want everybody to be able to enjoy this party and celebrate our favorite Light Sprite. Wait here.[/color][color=maroon]" —Theo dashes into the quaint home and returns after a few minutes with a truly gigantic sack of party invitations. He rifles through a beautifully embroidered pouch and then hands an invitation to you. It is lovingly decorated- "[/color][color=da9100]Best get your best party clothes on! This is going to be a party to remember![/color][color=maroon]"[/color][/size][/font] [br][img]https://i.imgur.com/hZz0wTE.png[/img][br] [img]https://i.imgur.com/uQFcWf9.png[/img]
