When I came to I was in a yellow void only the ground and me. I looked for my blanket and it wasn't there. "Oh my god it isn't here!? Where is- focus. Find out where you were. Pashmina can always…..

Oh….

I remembered my goal.

I had regained most of my motor functions by this point so I began to stand, noticing that the ground felt as if it was yarn, or felt.

"H-Hello?" I slowly got to my feet. The ground was squishy so it was hard to stand. It felt like… fabric. "Is anyone there?" Is this the thing "Harmony" was talking about? The only thing I could do was follow the instructions. I started heading to my left. Hoping that I hadn't gotten turned around while I was waking up. I eventually saw. A painting. It depicted what looked to be a happy village with flowers and everything. It was gorgeous. The only problem was it had a plaque on the bottom that I simply couldn't read. And then I heard it.

TRACK 1 Desolate Beauty - Mario Rabbids SoH

Nintendo, October 20, 2022

"There was once a peaceful village that lived in a tree, one without worry and one without strive, they lived happily and relied on each other to survive and thrive."

The voice sounded like a womans, and to be frank, sounded melancholic in a way, "Hello!" I tried to tell the voice, "Where are you?!" …

…

…

No response.

After a little while i remembered that i was supposed to head to my right next, and made a few steps till another painting rose from the ground, this time of a person, with dark skin and long hair, next to a dead body, with their head on the corpses stomach, crying a fountain of tears, the courpse was pink….

I took a moment to collect myself and then I waited for the voice to read the plaque,

"One day a sacrifice was made to a demon god, and one of the village members was taken at random. The friend of the sacrifice vowed to bring her back and stop the cult trying to bring the demon to life."

"Cult? That's what Spat was doing? Why would he join a cult?" I thought to myself before continuing to my right, with another painting appearing soon after, with it showing the woman from before fighting some sort of yarn based demon. It was shaped like a lion.

"She managed to revive her friend, and then her and her friends put a rest to this awful nightmare, but in order to keep the demon at bay, she had to make the choice of all, she had to be willing to give up something precious to keep the demon at bay."

I say nothing and i walked around the painting, going straight ahead untill a painting rose from the ground, picturing a charm around a statue of the beast with a picture of the woman in the gem in the middle,

"I had to save them"

I continue, and end up at another painting, with a blanket in the middle. The only difference is it starts to move, I watch in shock as it floats out of the painting and lands on my head, I sigh a sigh of relief as I feel clothed again, and the blanket covers me.

"To do this she was brave, and you will be brave too, I shall teach you what i know"

I walk to my left and see a sheer cliff, not that high but it would hurt like a bitch if i fell off that, although…. This cant be real, this has to be a dream, so i cant die right….. I go back for a running start, and i jump of the cliff. Surprisingly, my blanket acted like a parachute, and i float down, i hear the voice again,

"You are brave, you will do anything for your friends, this i know." I see a structure forming out of the yarn, its a needle inside a stone, i slowly walk up to the stone

"Now, grab the hilt, I shall teach you all i know, good luck"

I grab the hole of the needle and suddenly I wake up in a cold sweat, I'm in a dark corridor, and as my eyes get adjusted to the darkness I see that Bijou is sitting next to me and Sandy is pacing back and forth rambling to herself.

I groan because of my head and they both turn their heads towards me. "What the heck was that all about!" Sandy yells at me, You just… fainted! I was worried sick about you, you know! Bijou nods her head. "Oui. You can't jusz do thingz like zhat, iz your head ok? Any broken bonez?" She then sees it.

What do i mean by "it"? Well the needle from my dream, of course, but its glowing a sparkly blue, wait? Does this mean that my dream… wasnt a dream? I let out an audible gasp, as i see that the needle in real life, I pick up it and i tell the girls about my "dream".

"WHAT! There is no reason why a needle just… spawned in?! Are you like…magic?" Bijou said with a concerning tone. "thats true…" Sandy commented "But stranger things have happened, ike Ham-Ham Land coming to life so if anything, a random magic needle from the middle of nowhere should be normal at this point!" Bijou giggled at the joke. "Well, if anything, it means we have to be on the right track! If you're feeling better, Penelope, let's move out!" I quickly got to my paws. "I feel great! Let's go!" I pick up the needle by the hole. It was really light to me despite being about half my height. "Ok girls? Ready?!"

"Ready!" they both said, and after that we ventured further into the corridor.
