His travels across the regions of Eyre had finally brought Nico to the everlasting autumn lands of Bellmori. While his parents were still talking to the owners of an inn in Il'durahn, the black kittom couldn't resist venturing into the nearby forest. Leaving the giant Eldertree of Bellmori behind him, he quickly ran past the charming Renaissance buildings. 

The forest was a mesmerizing sight to behold. Every step Nico took was accompanied by a soft crunch of fallen leaves under his tiny paws. The trees stood tall, adorned in their autumn glory, as their leaves swayed gently in the refreshing breeze. Rich crimson leaves mingled with burnt oranges and warm yellows, creating a carpet of vibrant shades. The sun filtered through the branches, casting enchanting patterns on the forest floor, as if nature herself had woven a tapestry of light.

Nico couldn't resist - He playfully pounced on fallen leaves, chasing them as they swirled and danced in the wind. The air was scented with the earthy aroma of damp soil and the clean crisp feeling of a fresh morning, creating a fragrance that delighted the little kittoms senses. He climbed on rocks and logs, using them as stepping stones, eager to see what lay beyond the next hill. The forest was his playground, and he relished every moment of his journey.

As the little black kitten wandered deeper into the forest, he found himself surrounded by majestic mountains that seemed to embrace the valley like a protective embrace. Nico felt tiny in comparison to the grandeur of nature, but he also felt a strange sense of belonging amidst this majestic scenery. The forest was a vibrant painting, a symphony of colors. The rustling of the leaves created a gentle whisper, and a sense of calmness settled upon the woodland.

Nico's curiosity led him to discover crystal clear lakes hidden within the forest's embrace. The lakes mirrored the autumn hues like a painter's palette, and the waters sparkled like diamonds in the sunlight. Nico approached one of the lakes and saw his reflection staring back at him, while little glowing embers floated in the air around him. He couldn't help but playfully paw at the water, causing ripples to spread across its surface and his soft laughter carried across the lake.

As the sun finally began to set, painting the sky with hues of pink and purple, Nico knew it was time to head back home.
