Riddle Contest Day 9: Appondale!

Hey Jammers! Get ready for the 9th day of the Riddle Contest~ :D

As usual, here are the rules for those who are new to this contest:

Every day of the contest will focus on one land in Jamaa. There will be a riddle about one animal from that land's Journey Book, and it will be your job to guess which one it is!

Whoever answers the most riddles correctly will win a FREE CUSTOM MASTERPIECE! 

Answer every riddle to give you a better chance, even if you're not sure of the answer. Even if you haven't answered the previous riddles yet, you can answer them any time up until the end of the contest on April 23rd.

Today we will continue our adventure through Jamaa, making our next stop in the grassy savannas of Appondale!

You resurface on land from the ocean and deeply breathe in the air with a gasp, feeling the jarringly bright sun on your face... and the giant mud puddle you are now completely submerged in.

"What the heck!?!?" you think to yourself, trying to shake the mud off. Remembering the world map you had glanced at prior to beginning your adventure, this shouldn't be possible. Kani Cove was all the way on one side of the map while Appondale was directly opposite! 

You churn your way through the mud and reach the dry land. The sun is so powerful that already, the mud is beginning to dry. It is itchy at first, but soon it begins to come off more easily.

You rest against the bark of a tree in the shade to catch your breath. Once you are able to relax, the sun begins to feel less violent– equally as strong as before, but no longer as jarring. You feel the grass beneath you, each blade thick with stored water. You are unsure of how often it rains in this land, but it is surely not as much as you are used to.

Birds flutter through the trees and glide through the ever-reaching sky, calling out songs that travel forever. You are overwhelmed with joy in the space around you, there is just so much to explore– but you are so in need of rest that, despite your excitement trying to wake you, you drift off to sleep, relaxing against the tree's cool bark...

...

A dream unfurls around you of a land of cool, purple sand. Trees that reach into the sky for miles are peppered across the earth. Standing before a bright yet comfortable sun, you notice a sleeping animal at the base of each tree, some small as a cockroach and some large as a wildebeest. Some animals were so small they were invisible to your eye, even as you approached across the sands to get a closer look. Each a creature all the same, native to Appondale. 

You hear a voice that wraps around each leaf in each tree, originating from deep in the ground. 

"Guess what I am, from one riddle alone," it says to you. 

You reply, "Sure I will! Tell me the riddle," 

The voice says to you,

"I see far in a flat line,"

HINT: Look in your Journey Book!

*Comment your AJ username, your answer to the riddle, and what you would like me to draw for you as a Masterpiece if you win!*

Tomorrow, we will explore the vibrant Kimbara Outback! See you there! :D
