The ocean waves fell in upon the shoreline as she stood waiting and listening below the moonlit sky. Moondust stood alone for several minutes, but the apparition was gone now. She made camp for the night and awoke to sounds of sea birds amidst the dune grasslands.

The mounds crept upward as she made her way into the forest, leaving behind the seashore and the rolling dunes to travel deep into the Perimeter. There were ferns here too scattered among moonwort vines, small trees, and sand. Mount Namine could be seen just above the piney forest that carpeted the landscape. She traveled deeper into the forest now and the scene changed to a blended timberland of birch and pine until she came to a clearing where a narrow trail led to two small lakes located in an area known as the sand pits. Moondust looked across the lake to see an old man fishing on the far side of the nearest body of water. He wore a hat with a long feather and was dressed neatly in leather shorts with suspenders.
