Once Upon a Time Imagines

You cough as smoke clears in the darkness around you. Portals were never fun. After all these years and the side effects of smoke and landing on your face were still a very prominent problem. You squint as all forms of colour fade slowly away, keeping to a crouch as to not attract too much attention. Portals weren't exactly secretive either. Especially if this is the place you had hoped to arrive. There is always a slight apprehension with such whimsical forms of realm travelling.

You seem to be in a small clearing, surrounded by tall trees that fall into black silhouettes in the moonlight. The moon was full too, as a perfect circle, creating just enough light for you to see the shadowed green grass before it hit the darkness of the forest.
Strangely, you are alone, not even an evening breeze. You feel your bow and arrows neatly weighted across your back - ready for action...or anything else that had to follow…
