This is something I've been kicking around as the beginning of something bigger... Hopefully more will come out of it.
Merken, the sun peers over the horizon at a sleeping forest. His light washes over the trees, who awaken with a sigh; and over the animals, who stretch and yawn. His luminescence stains the sky red and paints the clouds deep orange hues.
His light turns the forest into a palace fit for a faerie queen. Every surface of the forest is sparkling and the air is golden and alive, glowing with the sun's blessed beams. At the forest floor, the grass is a vibrant emerald carpet dotted with dew-covered flowers that look like brilliant, glittering gems. Tiny forms appear from within logs and brush, walking amongst the giant, ivy-laden trees that are columns that hold up the now-bright blue ceiling far above their heads. Sound begins to fill the air: the soft song of the trees on the wind, the gleeful chorus of animals, and the melody of a far-off river.
The sun smiles as he rises to his place in the sky, watching over the creatures he's awakened. Another gorgeous day has begun.
