Marumi name;; Taibhse (Ghost in Irish)
Prompt;;This marumi’s black eyes were well adjusted to the cavern it was initially found in. It’s pale pelt and skin untouched by the sun. Their glowing beauty created an aura, gently perceptible in the darkness. Bioluminescent mushrooms of all colours illuminated the ground below!

You knew it was dumb to go driving so late at night, knew it was even more dumb to go out in the middle of nowhere without a full tank of gas in your car. You just needed to get your head off the stresses of the day, and the stars above you on a quiet road seemed like a dream. In theory. Until your car pathetically sputtered as the arrow pointed to the dreaded 'E' on your dashboard, and you were left stranded in an unfamiliar place, walking down the dark road in search of the nearest gas station. If it wasn't the darkness, where you could see no more than a foot in front of you even with your brightest flashlight, that didn't deter you into just hunkering down in your car for the night, it should've been the ominous howling in the distance. Or was it in the distance? You couldn't even pinpoint a clear direction the sounds were emanating from, they seemed to be surrounding you.
Suddenly, your flashlight began to flicker, in a breathy, panicked whisper, you begged the light to reconsider, "No, No--"
But it couldn't hear you, and if it could, it didn't care, the batteries giving out and refusing to turn back on no matter how many times you clicked the button.
But you'd already made it so far down the road, unsure where your car was anymore. The urge to just sit down and cry was tempting, but before you could think about it for a second longer, a bright light emerged in front of your eyes, so bright you shielded them with your arm.
Hope filled your chest, were they headlights? Maybe you were saved after all--
"AHH!" You shrieked, jumping backwards, the only thing saving you from plummeting down the steep incline of the hill was the cold metal of the guardrail.
Big black eyes were the first thing you could make out, and the glowing light surrounding the creature who owned them was getting closer.
The creature didn't talk, didn't make a sound, but it was doing strange zigzags in the air, like it wanted you to follow it.
You decided though it had jump scared you initially, it was kind of cute, and you didn't really have another option anyway, so you did just that. The creature stayed a good distance from you as it lit up your path, stopping every now and again to ensure you were still following, until you could see the florescent lights advertising gas prices in the distance. Relief took over any fear you still had leftover from the scary night as you happily ran forward, and as you turned to thank the creature who'd helped you, you turned to see only darkness.

Suriel was found in quite the peculiar place indeed. No one is sure how it’s even possible.

While going through a bunch of forgotten books in the back corner of the local library, looking for something unique, Cal instead discovered something truly fantastical. Tucked in the corner of the shelf, covered in so much dust that the black cover looked more like a dusky brown, was a well-loved but still intact book. Simple silver filigree decorated the corners and fanned out from the title along the spine. Fancy letters read “The Mysteries of the Other Realm”.

Curiosity thoroughly piqued, Cal carefully dusted off the book and returned to the comfortable recliner she usually occupied while here. A mostly-finished coffee sat on the little table beside the window. Curling up on the chair, Cal opened the book with reverence. Something about just radiated magical treasure.

Cal was quickly lost in the delicate pages, tales of adventure, discovery and wondrous creatures.

When she finally looked up, Cal found that she was no longer within the warm, familiar walls of the library. Instead, she was surrounded by a lush, green forest.

“Whoa,” Cal breathed, awestruck. For several long moments, she just sat and stared. Was this really….real?

She spent hours exploring, marveling at her surroundings. Not once did she stop to consider where she was or how she got there. She simply enjoyed the pure wild that seemed to go on forever. Sitting cross-legged, Cal watched the stars come out, she had never seen them so bright. The moon was huge, as if she could just jump to it if she walked another few miles and found a hill.

Eventually, she drifted off.

Cal was woken by the dull drone of the intercom warning that the library would be closing in twenty minutes. Blinking slowly, she glanced around. That was the intercom. And this was the library. That made sense. She came here to read, like so many other days. But… She frowned and glanced down at her lap. Seeing the book there, everything came rushing back. Cal looked around frantically, but everything was as it always is. The chair, the table, her coffee, the shelves to her right, the window to her left, the small fluffy creature peeking at from behind the potted plant beside the window- wait.

Cal blinked. Nothing changed. There, ahead of her, she could see about half of a soft fluffy face and part of an ear, striking eyes watching her inquisitively.

“Hi sweetie,” she crooned softly, slowly setting the book aside and reaching a hand out. “Where did you come from?” She looked around but saw no indications someone had brought their pet.

The creature stepped toward her and Cal gasped. She looked like something out of a fairytale with a long tufted tail, single curved horn and delicate wings.

“Myth.” She chirped, sitting primly.

“Hello Myth-”

She shook her head once. “Suriel. Myth.”

“You’re.. A myth?”

The creature nodded. “Free now.”

Dust rose from the old book as Laney moved it from the shelf over to the table. Laney sneezed. She turned the yellowing pages carefully. It was clear the book had not been opened in a long time. It was filled with illustrations of fairytale creatures and words in a language that had long died out. Wait… what was that? A marumi? She paused on a page depicting a marumi with fairy wings. It almost blended with the paper. Suddenly, the book began to shake and shudder. Laney took a step back. What the??? The illustration of the marumi started to move across the paper! And then it just… flew off the page!
Pip blinked at Laney and tilted their head.
“H-hello?” Laney said, feeling a bit stunned. Nothing like that had ever happened to her before!
“Pip.” said the fairy marumi.
“Hi, Pip. I’m Laney.” She said. “Were you… stuck in there?”
Pip shook their head. “Home,” they responded.
Their home was the book? “Do you live in there?” Laney pointed to the page they had came from.
Pip nodded and trilled happily.
