The party moved forward. With determined pace Zinobia was moving in front of the group showing the way. He said once again that he is going through seemingly safe area, but he did not explained any more.
The party moved three hours
(Lucas - please substract another -3 from your might pool) , when the party finally arrived to the hilly valley, covered by the certain, single type of plant. The plant had pointy leaves, and dandelion-like blossom. The time was close to the evening, and red light flown from the west, where descending down sun was set to end the light day very soon.
This is soundtrack music - it is optional and is here in order to add more immersion to the scenery.
Soundtrack
There was a road. Old and forgotten. The plant did not grew there, but all the hills around were covered by it, and the fields stretched towards west and north-west, for long distance. There, on the horizon was chain of bigger hills with larger vegetation.
Zinobia moved forward, stepping on the road, waving with his hands to follow him.
After ten minutes of road travel suddenly all the plants exploded with motion, and started to release dandelion-like umbrellas. The swarm, thousands, perhaps millions of tiny umbrellas suddenly started to move upwards, released by the plants. They flown up, into the sky, without entering the space above road.
The massive exodus of dandelion-like umbrellas and the sun light which was broken, filtered by clouds of ubrella particles, created certain blur and the vision of surrounding valley became more dim, more blurred.
The scence, the landscape was beautiful and mesmerizing at same time.
Zinobia stopped for a moment, turned to party, and said :
"Let's keep moving. This is Traavix. Vona Seers say that it is harmless, as long as you do not touch it. It stings, it's painful and could paralyze.. Stings with ponent charge. They say those plants are not from our world. And that they are leaving for other world from time to time. And then they are coming back. They travel. No one knows where and why. We are lucky to see this. It is beautiful sight, but it also protects us. They also say that Traavix fakes reality. And that looking through Traavix flower could return the true reality to your eyes.
I suggest we should just follow the road towards those hills on the horison. And do not touch thesee." - he turned and started to walk again, following the road.
The Traavix bloom particles were everywhere. Clouds of them filled the air above the valley, leaving slim corridor of the road and the space above it. The air became filled with colorful lights, as light beams coming from sun were refracted in the clouds of raising umbrellas.
The scene was breathtaking. Beautiful. The fresh evening air filled the lungs of the travellers, and they needed to follow Zinobia which was moving forward at quite fast pace.
After fifteen minutes of the fast walk he stopped, and said:
"Hmmmmm...... i think i saw this turn..... and this stone on the road. And those hills..... they are not any closer..... Something tricky here... something.... wrong. I feel it with my guts.
I am leading you into running circles. I'ts Traavix. We may need to wait till this thing ends." and he makes waving with his hand pointing towards valley and air above it, filled with countless dandelion-like umbrellas.
