Into the unknown

Prompt #3 - Parkats

Rigmor and Brighid were wandering across the frozen wastes for a few days and the further they went, the less familiar the landscapes appeared, as if they were lost or even stuck at one place. At least that's what Rigmor felt, meanwhile Brighid steadily went in a certain direction, as if she knew where to go, so Rigmor trusted their spiritual companion to keep leading them forward.

One night the landscape surprised Rigmor with sudden changes, the two found themselves in a tunnel of some sort. It was hard to make out anything in the dark, but the change in temperature was significant and many unfamiliar scents and sounds filled the surroundings. Soon enough the path became lighter and revealed the lush jungle around Rigmor and Brighid, an environment full of unknown plants and animals.

A few of these creatures, curious about the guests from the tundra, followed the travelers, jumping from branch to branch and climbing on the hanging vines. Rigmor felt, that something was very different about this place on the spiritual level, that some new entities were nearby, but it's only at the moment, when one of the parkats glided in front of their eyes, they finally connected their feeling to these beings. Their presence made Rigmor nervous, however Brighid was still determined to lead them further into the rain forest, paying no attention to the creatures nearby.
