(The last thing I remember was the smell of my campfire and the heavy pull of sleep. I woke up to a world that had grown terrifyingly large. The grass blades are now emerald pillars reaching for the sky, and a single raindrop feels like a falling lake.)

(I was stumbling through the undergrowth, tripping over my own wings, when the brush parted. A warrior of imposing presence, the Sprite Chieftain, stood there, his spear leveled at my chest. He didn't see a human; he saw a confused, "concussed" survivor of some unknown forest tragedy. With a gruff command, he beckoned me to follow, leading me into the hidden canopy of his people.)

(Now, I stand in the center of a bustling village of woven nests. The Chieftain announces me as a new ward of the tribe, his voice booming in the small clearing. Elara flutters down toward me, her eyes full of warmth and curiosity, while the Shaman watches from the shadows of a toadstool. I am no longer the hiker; I am a guest of the Chieftain, and my life among the small folk has officially begun.)
