Waiting for the Frog's Awakening
Optical Mirage Poem No. 1 (The Subconscious Dream of Fjara)
In the silent Forest, Widmung was preparing for a good night's rest, until when he saw Fjara's pictogram appearing out in the middle of the pond. He went to see if he was alright.
To his surprise, Widmung noticed that Fjara got turned into a sleeping frog, floating next to the pond's shoreline. He then waded into the water to get Fjara's attention by attempting to wake him up.
With no luck, Widmung then sat at the edge, contemplating on what to do. Moments later, his friend, Atlas, came in to see if Fjara was alright.
Both Atlas and Widmung then sat down in the water as they waited for Fjara to awake from his pond slumber. The water acted as a warm soft blanket as it made them fall fast asleep into deep hibernation.
Hours later, Widmung started dreaming through his subconscious mind. He felt that he was walking into another version of The Endless Forest through a parallel dimension.
What Widmung saw were the warm memories of Fjara's past. He saw visions through his life back when Widmung first met Fjara as a young fawn. Those memories remained special to him.
It was a dream of Widmung's past accomplishments through the years in the Forest befriending new players. Knowing that he hasn't been around Fjara for some time,
Widmung felt that he can give him more comfort and support along with his family and friends.
"Have a good night and sweet dreams!" said Widmung as they snuggled to bed underwater. ^^
Dearest Widmung, This was a
This was a delightful experience all around: I left Fjara online, originally with the plans to sit him in a nice (shallow location!) while I go rest for the night. You can imagine my surprise and confusion, when I found out that he ran off somewhere on his own. Decided that resting as a frog is much comfier, I suppose
I really, really adore your writing here, it's heartwarming. It's also still extremely sweet to me that Widmung is the first one Fjara officially met, especially considering how quiet forest was at that period around the holidays. I've had a lot of fun all our meetings, so has Fjara, these two years, and I appreciate you for always keeping us company <3 All of the memories are very fondly thought back on. I believe that the pond's koi had a restful slumber; that he heard Widmung's well wishes. If he was capable of speech, he'd have profusely thanked his dear friend and wished him the same.
here's a screenshot from back when we met! December of 2024.
and current day, past Widmung's departure, the rest of the family is making sure Fjara doesn't float away again.
My dear Fjara, Thank you so
Thank you so much for your kind words and for those lovely screenshots!
Looking back when I first met Fjara, we had such a wonderful time together playing with our beloved Forest Friends.
One of my old friends, pictured next to me in our holiday gathering of 2024, shared a similar story like Fjara's. That's my old friend, Remora.
Someday, if you ever see him in the forest, feel free to say hi to him.
Thank you again for sharing those memories, my dearest friend!
Best wishes to you,
Widmung
