Another new place, this one even stranger than the Spire, but after that first transition, Cam found it easy enough to accept this one. For a moment they lingered in their cradle of branches, because who hadn't dreamed as a kid of living in a tree, in perfect harmony with nature? Or maybe that was just them. Then they looked up into the hazy light and realized that they needed to get up there. Why? They didn't know. But they definitely needed to.
Climbing trees wasn't Cam's strong suit, and they were quite afraid of falling. They kind of hoped this was a dream, so falling wouldn't hurt. They carefully, carefully moved to vertical and reached for a higher branch to pull themself up with, bracing their foot against the tree trunk -- yes, that seemed like it worked. And then, the next branch ...
They wouldn't win any awards for speed or grace, but Cameron was on their way up the tree.
Cam starts climbing.
