Flight Rising Discussion

[center][img]https://i.imgur.com/ci0mEh1.png[/img][/center] [font=arial][size=5][color=334310]Nature flight is celebrating Greenskeeper Gathering once again! You’re on your way to meet with your friends who live in the Shrieking Wilds surrounding the Behemoth, but you must have taken a wrong turn somewhere, because you have no idea where you are! Getting lost in the Shrieking Wilds can be a deadly mistake, but this is no time to panic! You take a deep breath and gather your wits. Listening carefully, you can hear rustling from nearby. Do you recognize that voice in the distance? Without much else to go on, you make your way towards the strange noises. What will you find out here, lost in the woods as you are?

Lots of fun events happening! I love the theme! I'm excited to participate [emoji=aether happy size=1]

Getting lost isn't always so bad... Sometimes you get a nice story! Do you have any stories of getting lost? If not, do you know of any that you like? Tell them here!

Oh, yep. When I was 6 I went to a friend's birthday party. It was a seaside walk and I remember little from it besides feeling upset because I did not understand the tour guide at all due to having a different first language.

Tbh, I've always disliked the sand on the beach, so that may have contributed. On top of that, I despised exercise as a child, since I had trouble breathing if I did so back then and I also had much weaker ankles, haha.

I'm told that when the tour guide took a planned break, I apparently spotted a rabbit in the distance, but I am not sure what happened exactly. Ended up lost in the dunes. Very bad experience, would not recommend. Everyone was very mad in the end and I lost a friend over it.

I remember one vacation. I was trekking around and took a wrong turn somewhere. Not that I had a strickt deadline to be anywhere, but I ended up quite a few miles away from where I had originally planned to stay for the night.

The first 2 campingsites I came across were full. But one of the owners directed me to a farm owned by some friends of his. "Just tell them I send you"
So I found the farm (it was getting well into the evening by then), explained the situation, and then I could set up my tent in their orchard.
The next morning after I had packed up the tent again, they invited me over for breakfast.
It wasn't exactly a very big adventure, but It was just a very lovely morning with a genuinely nice family. And all because I took a wrong turn :)
