She wasn't being able to see anything.
There was a thick fog layer diffusing everywhere she could see. The fog which reminiscent clouds flying around on the earth, was only letting her to see the land that she was stepping.
Young lady bowed her head and looked to the humid flora that her toes that buried in. Based on experience, she guessed that she's near to a spot on top of an unknown mountain. Because, she only saw this land type at mountains she does excavate. She also could feel cold and stern earth under the plants. These things were affirming her guesses. Main problem is that... Which top of a damn mountain was she, and why was she's not cold?
Young lady looked at the outfit confronting with her black hair. The outfit wasn't covering her back and stomach. It was comprising of white lines and a tulle skirt. This outfit was just a white tulle chaos.
There was nothing on her to keep herself warm. Neither a coat nor a sweater. And most important, she doesn't even feel that she's wearing underwear.
In normal condititons, standing here in this weather and with this outfit needs to cause hypothermia.
Young lady looked around again with a hope of finding some answers. But no matter how long she looks, she couldn't see anything familiar.
She inhaled moodily. I hope I'm not seeing any hallucinations because of some poisonous mashroom or some kind of gas like last time.
Nothing happened after a couple of long seconds. But she can feel a strange atraction, it was coming from inside the fog. Something was pulling her to a certain spot.
In that moment, she lost her control on her own body. First one step, and another two steps follows... First, she tried to stop this. But her body wasn't listening her. She already started to move toward the spot. As she continued walking, she felt the pull growing stronger and saw a glow begin to emerge in the fog.
A cold, ice-blue glow grew brighter as the young woman approached. It looked like an eye or a star.
'Maybe it's both,' she thought as she stared mesmerized.
She could feel that something was wrong. Her instincts were screaming at her, warning her. But she was so mesmerized by the starry eye that she couldn't even think about it.
As the young woman continued walking hypnotized, she first felt a strong warmth on her bare back. Then she heard a loud male voice growling curses. Surprisingly, this brought her to her senses. She stopped walking and turned her head to look at the source of the voice.
First she saw the sun.
The sun was shining with a rare phenomenon in nature. Its common name was *Sundog. However, in her studies in Central Asia, she had learned that the *shamans considered it a symbol of Tengri because they believed that it was a reflection of the image of *Tengri. At the time, the young woman thought the term mystical and mesmerizing.
