ROUND 3
She can understand the temptation of the right path — the structures are strange and intriguing in a plain sort of way. They are of old Beqanna, before magic plagued the land and its inhabitants, back when one was good or evil and life was black and white. Although the structures are ancient and ordinary, a magic lurks beneath.
Something rumbles underneath the sand where the structures stand; angry, perhaps, at the disturbance. The island begins to shake until It is released: a monster, a spiral of sand shooting up from directly in front of the structures. Those closest — the most curious among them — are swept up in the tornado of sand, lifting them off their feet, even grabbing the one who had chosen to fly. Then, suddenly, they are awakened at the foot of the Mountain where a sweet, blue face greets them. “Thank you for trying,” she says — voice like an ocean breeze — “you did your best.”
Back on the Island, the effects of the monster are still present; although those who took the path to the left are too far to be swept up from the tornado, a sandstorm still wreaks havoc on the beach. The five who remain know they must be quick to catch the shells before they, too, are swept away.
Rules
-Round 3 entries are to be posted in Island Resort in the Quest thread no later than March 2nd at 7 PM CST.
-No word limit.
-@[Persea], @[Lochwood], @[brigade], @[Vadar], @[Eva], @[Leander], @[bright], @[Aten] have been eliminated. They will have the 0-space aesthetic trait of “seashell mane/tail”, which can fade over time or remain permanent, whichever you choose. If you want your character to have any injuries from their run-in with the sand monster, that’s fine with me.
-@[Hestoni], @[Kagerus], @[Aodhan], @[Nocturne], and @[naia] have chosen the correct path. Your post should start on the path to the empty beach. They must find 3 different types of seashells (I want to know the different types specifically) through the sandstorm and describe their return to the top of the mountain.
-Failing to respond on time or at all without notifying the officials will result in a permanent defect.
