[sorta spoilers for Sky: Children of the Light] A cloudy day in Wasteland. A moth slid down the sandy hill, looking around worriedly. Her veteran friend was offline. She'd already injured her wrist getting thrown around through the clouds. Strangers hurried past her. A krill flew by, and the moth darted away, noticing a Winged Light. She only had 5 stars, but tried to boost herself up to the platform the Winged Light was on. She kept falling...she wasn't good at flying yet. And it wasn't helping that an unlit rando was trying to light her. She fell once again, her light all used up. She tripped over an aggressive crab, which noticed her...and caused her to lose some more light. The moth hadn't even reached Graveyard yet! "Augh! Forest was hard enough, why must Wasteland be harder??" she yelled, accidentally falling into the dirty, green, polluted water. "MHBSFNFHWFMMGMMMBBMBM!!!" Her screaming was extremely muffled. She tried to swim to shore, but failed and got tossed further into the water. She was losing light. The moth had to get out quick, or she would die... She flailed her arms, trying not to drown. Strangers watched and panicked. They didn't want to get into the polluted water... The moth thought she was doomed. Coughing and choking and inhaling water, she managed to clumsily heave herself onto a nearby boat. She spat out tons of water and tried to catch her breath. Suddenly the boat started moving. Wing-like flaps lifted it up into the air, avoiding the water. The moth panicked and looked back at all the strangers staring at her. She had no choice but to stay on the shaking boat...the moth looked around quickly. Spotting a krill, she tried to hide under the stone bench, and moments later realized the krill wouldn't spot her. She jumped off the boat, trying to soar through the clouds below, heading to a forgotten, enchanted area. [yes this is a cliffhanger lol]
