A machine where your heart once was
Slowly takes the place of you
Slowly takes the place of you
It was a morning like any other, and Liam was out running.
His muffled footsteps reverberated through the woods as he took the familiar path from Sidhe Village into the Wildwood, his pace steady as he worked his way through the dense trees. IT wasn't uncommon for the paths to shift and change as he ran, but over time, he'd become accustomed to the strange sensation of being spat out of the woods at a different point than he'd planned.
On this particular morning, he found himself in Ludo's Woods and, familiar with the way his body felt after the first few miles, decided to take a break to walk. Bare chest heaving in the morning sun, he stretched his arms up to clasp his hands behind his head as he walked. The trees around him were red and textured, surrounded by misshapen saplings and carefully hung lanterns. Any time his morning run brought him here, he took a break to offer a prayer to Ludo and Mort, in the name of the family he'd lost.
This morning, though, a flash of ivory caught his eye, and he looked up to see a familiar dragon approaching. "Riya?" he said, a frown furrowing his brow. But if Riya was there, then that meant... "Where's Anju?"

Void River Stars (infected variant - Greatwood, King’s End, Oerwoud, Torchline): The carnivorous River Stars, tainted by void energy, have become even more sinister. Their once vibrant appearance has faded into shades of deep black and purple. Now, instead of waiting for prey to step onto their centers, they actively seek out creatures, using void-infused tendrils to ensnare and drain the life force from their victims.

Only hold the memories now
Of a love I thought I knew
Of a love I thought I knew
