The path from Fernmoss led Blaze through the mist — and suddenly the trees opened up to reveal Cascade Clearing: a wide, misty waterfall glowing with soft rainbow light.
"You! Explorer! Can you count in groups?" called the Elder with silver stripes on each antenna. "Everything for the festival must be arranged in exact group sizes. We have four hundred and eighty lanterns. They must go in groups of ten."

While Blaze worked, a Splash-Sprocket named Ripple came running over, breathless and excited.
"Explorer! There's something strange near the waterfall — a huge pile of vines, all bundled up. Three hundred and forty-eight of them, in neat groups of four!"

The festival began under the rainbow mist. And through the jungle, a glimpse: Tangle, watching from the shadows between the trees.
But it didn't look threatening. It was mimicking the grouping patterns of the festival lanterns — with its own vine bundles.
