Gathering Of Old The world she had so lovingly created had gone quiet. Her creations still and silent through the ever changing void they had been sprung into. She was a caregiver at heart with her blinding light and brilliance watching form afar. Her gaze ever seeing and ever watching, seeing the wonders of her children's creations unfold. The flora, the fauna, all of it in place but the very fabric of what made it unique having gone still and silent. Perhaps they needed an awakening? A way to liven things up since the heat of summer was a stirring of things, spring having brought fourth new life but summer was needed to sustain it. She decided to grant her creation a gift, a game to awaken the kindling spirit of all. Gifts laid scattered about where her tree lay, for those to explore and obtain treats and unknown prizes. Her voice boomed out, her call telepathically reaching each new creature that entered her world. "A bounty awaits you all, come and enjoy the plenty I bring you!"

The Gods existed, he knew. He acknowledged them and respected them and their land, using whatever he took and never using it in excess. The reindeer answered the call that told of bounties, curious of the bounties themselves and the voice that spoke of it. Was it the God that had saved him, or someone else?
Upon his arrival, there stood the massive tree of Oris whose presence still invoked awe within him. The herbavore admired the rich life the tree possessed and harbored around it for a few moments--not the furst time he's done this--before forcing his eyes to look at the 'bounty' before him.
Nothing, at first. In fact, he had to look around to find anything. It didn't take too long; under the unidentified mortis flower, a seashell rested beneath it. Having not actually attempted to harvest the flower, no golem would come to harm him, something he wasn't even aware was a possibility. Instead, he would pick the seashell up between his teeth, walk a few feet away, and open it. Perhaps a pearl lay inside. Guessing number 49 |

A Trick! A shadowy spider crawls out of the shell and looks at Heloise for a moment before disintegrating into smoke.

Morgana Selanmere MADNESS IS A BEAUTIFUL IRONY
WHERE PERFECTION AND FLAWS MEET
The booming voice calling for a bounty had caught the dangerous woman's interest. A bounty of plenty for those who were willing to take a chance interesting and worth her while. Inky limbs pulled her massive form along, the quad set of eyes she sported glancing upon the scenery with mild interest. Her tail flicked behind her as she moved, taking in the massive tree. It was decorated with large cocoons that held the children of the land and the curiosity of flora entranced her. Strange plants that she had never viewed before decorating the landscape and she couldn't help but stare in wonder.
She was not alone as her eyes could see a caribou, its soul stone gleaming at the chest. Not food then, a sentient creature? She had no time for herbivores normally, and the scars upon its body worried her. While they normally could be taken as a sign of strength, upon an herbivore it meant more as a sign of weakness, allowing itself to be nearly caught by the dangerous chance of death.
She ignored him for now, finding nothing else of interest from her mild observations, and turned her attention back to the shells that dotted about the area. She followed her nose, finding one at the base of the massive tree. She picked it up and cracked it open with her teeth. She didn't know what lay in wait for her but was certainly ready to see what the bounty had decided to store for her.
Choosing number 21!

The deer lodged the seashell inbetween his two front hooves, placing it firmly on the ground before forcing it open. He expected to see perhaps an abnormally colored, beautiful pearl resting within the seashell, and briefly imagined himself opening several shells to reveal such pearls. The pearls would be made into a necklace; a future gift for someone nice.
But no. The gem-harborer instead found himself face to face with a black spider. A look of surprise and bewilderment washed across his face as he moved his legs far out of biting reach, eying the creature as it eyed him back. As far as I know, spiders don't live in seashells. And he was right. The little arachnid disappeared as quickly as it appeared, and underneath where it once stood was...nothing.
Ah, so the Goddess likes to joke, eh? Well, he was a patient gem. He would crack as many of these as he could if it meant he'd finally find the bounty he was told about.
If there even was a bounty.
The thought stayed on the back of his mind as he searched again, this time finding one behind the tree. The same method was used to crack open this shell.
Guessing number 15 |

Upon opening the seashell she was greeted by a lump of charcoal. A sneer decorated her face as it disintegrated, a trick perhaps? It seemed as though that were the case, and her face soon relaxed. This was something she could support at least, this was a test of patience and skill. There was nothing that came for free in this world and this little bounty was a sure test of that. She grinned, her fangs glinting within the daylight and she couldn't help but feel like she was closing in upon the kill.
It seemed as though the caribou had found some sort of spider, she watched for a moment seeing it disappear much like her charcoal. Odd and challenging indeed. She wasn't above trying again however, wanting to see just what this bounty had in store. Perhaps she'd find a different trick, one that she could catch this time around rather than watch it turn to ash.
She found another seashell, buried within the grass. She grinned and grabbed it, cracking it open with her teeth. She was ready for whatever else decided to pop out of one of them. Be it bounty or trick, she was going to try and obtain it before it turned to ash.
Choosing number 33!

Before he opened his shell, he heard and smelled the scent of another. The scent of a predator. His tail and ears rose out of preparatory alarm, and he turned to see who it was that was approaching. It was a hyena, their diamond-shaped gem fitted on their forehead. So, not a threat. He watched them for a moment nonetheless, seeing them open a shell and be met with what appeared to be charcoal. Were these shells just a joke then? He looked away to his own shell, hesitant to open, before reminding himself that rewards do not come without trial and error, without attempts. And so, he cracks it open to find...
A pearl! It looked like a pearl. But wait...it smells sweet. Are they supposed to smell sweet? Again he's hesitant, opting to sit there and glance once more at the hyena. They open a second shell and find the same thing. Curious.
"Do you think we're supposed to eat these?" he asks the gem-bearer, curious but slightly bewildered eyes looking at them.
Heloise does not eat the candy yet, opting to talk to Morgana. |

Inside looked to be a piece of glass tainted a blue color, the smell faintly sweet. It wasn't a spider or a lump of charcoal, but the bounty was a promise. It didn't disintegrate after a moment so she figured this was their prize for playing the game. She gave a curious sniff, smelling the sweet scent that reminded her more of rot then it did a treat. Was it to be consumed? It seemed as though it was, but before she could eat it a voice came to her.
She turned to look at the caribou that had decided to speak to her. Her eyes narrowing in a suspicious glare that was more gauging than it was aggressive. She tilted her head and felt the tepid waters of her mind crash against her subconscious. Did this creature not know how to think for itself? She supposed since it was a prey animal species that it was only natural for it to follow a herd mentality. Something she found to be quite pathetic in nature, if one could not think for ones own self interests than maybe it was fate for them to meet death quicker than most.
"Those who deny the dangers of life stand still in its glory." She bared her fangs in a dangerous smile.
"Fear is meaningless and stands one still in life as well as death, eat not the poisoned fruit if one doesn't wish to have the knowledge it contains." With that she would turn away from him and back to the supposed treat within the seashell.
She crunched down upon her own treat, feeling her muscles contract and feel foreign within her own body. Unaware that she had just been graced with the Agile Talent, and now was able to move better than before. She turned away from the caribou, obvious with no ill effects and decided to continue her efforts of collecting seashells and their bounty.
She found another one and cracked it open, far to ready to see what else it may hold.
Choosing the Agile Talent for her prize! Also choosing number 1!

 Hugo Martin He hadn't been around here long, having kept mostly to himself and out of trouble for his life. Now he was branching away from where he'd come from, the call for a bounty being the push he needed to get out and explore. It was entertaining to say the least, watching the world go past as he explored. Life was his sandbox and the world a playground for him to explore and enjoy. Sure he wasn't very good at much else other than hunting, but that meant he was always well fed.
At least, that was what he was telling himself.
So of course when he found the massive tree he couldn't help but stare at it like a kid in a candy store. There was all kinds of crazy things around here! Plants that shone like the rainbow and flowers that sparkled like the night sky. The tree itself was massive and intriguing to say the least about it. That's when he spotted a caribou and...well he thought it looked like a hyena. At least a hyena that had a bunch of extra parts that didn't really make sense but made it look extremely imposing. They were cracking open what looked like seashells and inside looked to be things, interesting things that he figured was the bounty.
Seemed easy enough to do.
The concern from the caribou was interesting enough and the hyena seemed a bit cold and made very little sense. Strange to hear but he wasn't about to complain, besides if she was brave enough to eat it then certainly he could eat whatever they found. He trotted along, picking out a seashell and opening it, eyes staring at what was inside like it contained the secrets of the world.
Choosing number 4!

Erm...what? He stayed silent for a moment, a little creeped out by their smile and cryptic words. He said nothing as he tried to decipher the meaning behind them. Something about taking chances. I think. He supposed it was about all he needed. Besides, he didn't really want to be near them for long.
After watching them eat the mysterious sweet sphere themselves, he picked it up between his own teeth and sucked on it. It tasted like of minty, like a delicious plant plucked straight from the garden. Other than that, it didn't really do anything. He glanced at the hyena, who seemed to be fine as well. Huh.
So that's all it is then? Candy? Surely there was more.
Which is why he kept searching, finding a shell a bit far off from the tree, exposed and alone. He pryed it open and hoped to this supposed trickster God that it was a treat instead of a trick.
He ate the candy this time! Choosing to level up Electricity to lvl 2.
Also guessing number 44. |

Upon eating the treat Oris's voice calls to Heloise, no words spoken but a feeling understood. Two gifts from the bounty for him and no more, he may continue socializing with others that have joined however!
