The Pickled Pixie’s Preposterous Proposition: The Pickled Pixie's Preposterous Proposition
When whispers of a sparkling golden bottle begin to spread, there’s only one thing to do—find it, claim it, and possibly drink it. Whether it holds divine magic or just an exceptionally expensive liquor, the details don’t matter. The only problem? It’s supposedly hidden deep within a forest where the trees whisper, the flowers bite, and even the moonlight plays tricks.
But a little danger has never stopped a determined seeker before. Dodging oversized insects, arguing with talking mushrooms, and narrowly avoiding becoming an owl’s midnight snack? Just another night out. The deeper the path winds, the stranger things become—glowing footprints, shifting branches, and an uneasy feeling that the hunt isn’t as simple as it seems.

The docks creak beneath heavy boots, the scent of salt and spilled rum thick in the air. Laughter and steel ring out in equal measure, deals made and broken in the space of a breath. A man leans against a weatherworn post, eyes sharp beneath the shadow of his tricorn. "This place’ll eat you alive, stranger," he muses, flicking a coin between his fingers. "Unless, of course, you learn to bite first."
"Which way did we come from?" The words are hushed, but the silence that follows is heavier than it should be. "It should be right here." The path is gone. Vanished. The trees stand where none stood before, their branches twisting overhead, blocking what little light remains.
