Flying through the Air...
As Brutrumukk lies down to try and sleep, and the both of them go quiet, they both hear something unusual reach their ears. The sound slowly becomes more apparent over the sound of the wind as the balloon floats through the air
It's the sound of...purring?
Brutrumukk would know that the purring isn't coming from him. He doesn't believe he's a Weretiger anymore! Jub would know it's not the balloon. The Swamp Gas Balloon is a hot air balloon. It just needs the balloon and hot air to fly, no mechanical parts needed! So what is causing that purring...?!
"
Twas Brillig and the Slithy Toves...
Did Gyre and Gimble in the Wabe.
All Mimsy were the borogoves
And the Momeraths outgrabe,"
A third unknown voice purrs above them! The both of them look up to see the source lounging above them very close to the balloon fabric. It is a strange cat with a wide grin on its face.
The cat speaks again, the smile never disappearing from its jowls, his voice practically purring with delight and curiosity, "
What fortune for me to wake up to from my cat nap. My instinct to sleep in the Balloon has paid off,"
The cat looks forward towards the sky from his perch and his grin seems to widen, "
Now all this balloon needs is a simple...push,"
The cat then flicks out a claw in his paw. In that brief moment, Jub and Brutrumukk have that sense of dread whenever anyone sees a cat about to push a glass of water off of the counter. Before they could do anything though, the Cat had already created a small tear in the balloon, and seemed to fade away into nothing!
The last thing Brutrumukk and Jub see is its wide grin before it vanishes and the two are whipped about wildly in the winds as the balloon loses air!
Eventually the wild whipping about in the balloon does come to an end, and the gnome and goblin are deposited unceremoniously, with the basket and balloon draped over them!
The floor below them seems to be rock, covered in pristine tiles. When they get out from under the balloon, they see that they are standing on a large floating island amid endless skies! The large floating island is supporting a grand palace, and the two of them are clearly in a vast garden...
