You had fallen asleep while reading, which certainly wasn’t a rare occurrence, though an annoying one because it always ended with the book clattering on the floor and scaring you awake.

But it didn’t happen this time. Instead, you awake to the sound of gentle, flowing water, the distant sounds of population.

You creak your eyes open to see an otherworldly creature peering down at you before it takes off, towards… Velaris?

The second you scramble to your feet, someone appears before you.
