Maellie is a skilled mage and when she is in between jobs for the guild; she searches for ingredients for an eccentric alchemist and his experiments. Today, she has been sent to the sparely traveled mushroom forest. Tales of the unworldly keep most people from traveling through it, but the few hard facts that have made its way out, now take Maellie in.
It didn't take long for the sunlight to dim to dusk as Maellie and her dragon/unicorn steed pieced the veil of the forest. Maellie quickly became frustrated with struggling to seeing anything clearly, as the light only dimmed further into the forest. Stopping for a moment, Maellie created an orb of light just above the head of her steed. What was dark became bright, and what was dim became vibrant. The scene before her reminded her of children stories and was nothing like the gray gloom and doom of the traveler's stories. Sadly, the wonder was to be short lived as signs and sounds of creature movement reached Maellie's ears. Slipping a veil of magical essence out of her pack, Maellie resumed her search but with more caution and magical firepower in hand. The light may be a great aid to her, but creatures of this mushroom kingdom will be able to home in on her very easily.
