forest of the lustrous banner.png

In the midst of the forest of the lustrous, amidst the hypnotising refractions of everchanging, evershifting prisms of light, a figure slowly took shape. You stood there, wordlessly.

In equal portions of amazement and puzzlement, you murmured 'Who are you?'

The figure was mired in bewilderment, and just as much awe. 'Who are you?' it whispered.

You wanted to answer the figure, however, a sharp pang of pain assaulted your head. You cannot seem to recall who, or what you were.

Danger was afoot; you are to prove who you are so as to not lose your identity.

Do take a look at the deepest memories of your heart and pour it into a canvas to prevail.



🎇 How It Works 🎇

Are you perhaps new to this event? Fret not, it is rather straightforward!

New line arts will be posted on:
  1. Saturday, August 13th 2022 - Created by @Mick !
  2. Saturday, August 20th 2022 - Created by @dizzy bone!
  3. Saturday, August 27th 2022 - Created by @Laudine!



🌜 The Weekly Challenges 🌜


🎇 August 27th - The Third Challenge 🎇

This week's line art was created by yours truly!

Recall yourself!

Startled, you looked into the man who called out to you.

Farley! You gasped, surprised you were able to recall his name.

Farley. You repeated his name again. That's right. You remember now. He is Farley, guardian of the forest.

It all came to you. Finally, finally! You laughed as a wave of relief washed over you.

And who are you?

You are Serena.

You are protector of the crystal pond. Together with Farley, you have guarded this forest for thousands of years.

This place, this very place, was your home. The flash of memories made sense now.

The lost knight and wizard; you showed their way back home. The mysterious creatures –the gyroids– they lived with you in this forest, their jingles and tunes never failed to amuse you.

It was an unfortunate accident. You upset the witch of the forest, and as a result she casted a curse upon you. A curse that made you lost yourself. You were doomed to wander in the forest for all eternity, unable to recall who you were.

But now, you remember now, thanks to Farley. He was more powerful than the witch, and therefore only him can free your caged memory.

You looked around. Ah, the crystal pond. It felt threatening and unfamiliar to you just a moment ago, but now the mere sight of the pond fills you with warmth.

"It has been so long, Farley," you wiped a stray tear from your right eye.

"Centuries, Serena. I've been looking for you. We all missed you."

As if on cue, your familars, the spirit butterflies fly over to your side.

You gently stroked their wings. A soft smile formed on your lips. It has been so, so long. But now you're back home.

It feels good to be home again.

The third challenge is due on Saturday, September 3rd at 6:59PM Fair Time. Happy coloring! 💖





🎇August 20th - The Second Challenge 🎇

This week's ornamentally stunning line art was created by @dizzy bone!

After the fleeting image of the knight with his wizardly companion disappeared, another wave of darkness swiftly filled your consciousness.

Please, you pleaded to no one in particular. No more of this. I just want to be home.

Home.


Try as you might, sadly you couldn't remember who you are, let alone where you were from. But the word –oh the word– made you feel a pang of yearning. Some kind of nostalgia, dare you say.

Suddenly, a different memory flashed inside your head. This time, it was of a flowery landscape, filled with mysterious but melodious creatures made of clay. Together, they rattled. They jingled. They sung. The clay figures created an otherworldly melody never heard by any creature before.

What does this mean? This imagery appeared when you thought of home.

Could it be...?

🎇 August 13th - The First Challenge 🎇

This week's wondrous line art was created by @Mick!

A sudden flash of memory sparked inside your head.

It was a memory of two adventurers, who once stepped their feet inside this very forest. A chameleon and a sloth, you recalled. One a gallant looking knight, the latter donned in a grand wizard robe.

But how long ago was it? The forest looked different than how it was now, so you assumed that quite some time has passed ever since.

Who were they? Why exactly did you remember this particular memory? You remembered that they seemed to be a close friends.

Just like you, unfortunately they were lost as well.

The knight's eyes sparked when he saw multicolored ladybugs resting on delicate blooms. "What luck!" he cried. "Benevolent ladybugs, my spiritual guides. Help free us from this predicament", the knight pleaded.

The wizard also crouched and asked in a gentle voice, "Happy, happy friends, would you mind showing us the directions?"

You weren't sure what happened to them next.
