Six moons is something I would have called a short time before, but it's been a very eventful half a year. I'm surprised at how many things have happened in such a short time... there's some new problem every month, it seems.

[Although she did have a little more respect for what could happen in a mere six months simply after becoming a parent. The speed at which a baby grows, changes, starts to become a real person, is so fast.]

I've been here since the first of the Chosen began to arrive in this world. At first I thought it was simply a different continent and I could find some ship to travel back to my homeland.

[She laughs a little at how little she knew back then. Truthfully she can still hardly believe it.]

My first impression was... different.

[Aside from finding himself in the inside of a grain silo, of all things, his experience had been... slightly on the surreal side.]

Though the size of the buildings are in proportion to our current stature, I could not... and still cannot shake the feeling that I have been shrunk. By a significant degree.

'Tis as though I have been rendered small and placed within a doll's house.

...Shrunk? [Ethlyn wonders what he could mean by that. She arrived here shocked to be alive, without even a trace of the wound that killed her, but she still felt all 5'3" inches of herself.] How tall do you think you should be?

[He seems tall to her! But maybe she's just viewing that from, you know, 5'3".]

[At a hair short of 6', Erichthonios is still around a full head taller than Ethlyn.]

...If I were to guess, I would say... roughly thrice the height I am now? I was a young child when the ground was last so close...

[A very young child. And unlike his brethren here, Erichthonios does not have any experiences of being more modern-sized just yet. He's gotten used to it with time, but there is still a surreal quality to it all.]
