Grove Quest
[3 Prompts || ✨💎🌈] ★ Embark on a journey of self discovery. What path will your character travel? ★
Details

★ About
Transformation is something every being across the stars endures in some form or another. While some may fight the changes, there are many who seek and embrace the new.
Painted Satyrs have always sought out the Grove as a place to learn something of themselves, and this path to the sacred place is considered a rite of passage for satyrs. To go there is to discover, to learn, to change. They seek one of the five spirits of nature found there - stag, hawk, wolf, cat, or serpent - to attain an even higher connection with their roots through self reflection or facing a conflict from their past.
Those who have sought this journey always come away from it born anew. For those who can face such trials and tribulations, the spirits leave a power with them that they possess forever. Only those who can completely overcome these challenges truly understand the meaning behind their change and the gifts that they received. It is an immensely personal quest and no one satyr will seek their spirit at the same time, instead waiting for the moment that feels right.

Grove quests can be completed one time per Painted Satyr. Satyrs who have completed these quests will have completion status added to their description.
★ PROMPTS
★ PROMPT 1
Depict your satyr travelling through the place of power for their chosen alignment.
Consider why they chose this alignment, and how their journey to the location has affected them.
✦✦✦
Each spirit’s domain lies within a unique location, tied into their own alignments and purpose. Your character should be sure of which they choose to visit, as they can only embark to meet one.
Did your character resolve to seek out their spirit themselves or is it a rite of passage for them within their society? How did they feel when they decided to undertake the journey?
Did your character intentionally choose their alignment? Or was it left to fate to decide the spirit that they encountered? Maybe someone chose for them? Were they confident in their choice? Or perhaps they changed their decision upon undertaking their adventure?
Was their journey difficult? Did anything happen along the way?
How did they find their spirit’s Grove? Were they told? Was it a gut-feeling?

★ PROMPT 2
Depict your painted satyr speaking to the spirit of their chosen alignment. How would the meeting go? What does the satyr say, how do they feel, what would the spirit think of them?
It's possible some may have to confront parts of themself before being granted approval by the spirit.✦✦✦
Regardless of their fated path, each satyr's journey to the heart of their grove is, without a doubt, one of Incredibly immense and notable importance, and communing with the spirit that resides there even more so. They hold not only the key to reconnecting with one's sense of inner self, but incredible power and a wisdom that is matched by very few.
For a satyr to be bestowed the blessing of such a spirit is not only an incredible honor but a revelatory and permanent gift that they will carry with them from then on.
The Spirits of the Grove each favour their own set of individual and yet equally important values, and to be considered worthy of their blessing, one must first prove themselves in the eyes of whatever eidolon sees fit to witness them. Though the trek to this sanctuary was long and arduous, the ability to meet with such a spirit is a once in a lifetime chance, thanks to your efforts! Perhaps you will find the answers you seek…?
Consider how your satyr might encounter their grove spirit. Did they actively need to search for it within this mysterious and vast domain? Or were they discovered first by the very one that they had journeyed to find? Perhaps they followed an inner calling, or were guided by their surroundings. When they finally came across the spirit, how did they react?
What sorts of things do they feel while communing with this mysterious entity? Are they intimidated, comforted, or even confused by what they've been met with? How do they attempt to gain the spirit’s approval? Is there some sort of special task they must accomplish, or perhaps a deeper part of themselves they must confront before being bestowed with the blessing of the grove? What kind of answers is your satyr hoping to find? Perhaps this moment of introspection with their spirit will assist them in their soul-searching.★ Info

Design your painted satyr in their new grove form.
The forms available are: Wolf, Hawk, Stag, Serpent, and Cat.

- You can optionally include their current satyr form in this submission. This will be their masterlist reference or can be added to their current reference.
- For writers, you are free to use the base provided by Corrin to design your character's grove form!
- You are allowed to have someone else design and/or make a reference for your satyr's Grove form, but you will still be required to redraw it and submit your own artwork for this prompt!
All traits and markings translate directly to the Grove form and must be as close to the original as possible.
✦✦✦
There is a sense of clarity that rings a truth like no other in both your mind and the atmosphere around you. Your encounter with the spirit has left you feeling as if a new surge of power rushes through your veins… the flow of nature itself, whole and complete, extends from the top of your head to the tips of your fingers, raw and magical. Whatever wisdom or knowledge you have attained, it has changed you… Closing your eyes, you take a deep breath. Focusing on your surroundings, you can hear and feel the very essence of nature. The birds singing, the ground beneath your feet, your hooves anchored to the land and speaking to the planet like roots in the earth. Inhaling gently through your nose, you feel a shift and– upon opening your eyes, you see the world in a whole new light. Your Grove form has taken shape.★ Info
