Heading toward danger had never been on Scald’s agenda. Yes, he explored and scouted and did all sorts of things mischievous, but he was more of a shadow than a thundering force. So when the dawn gave way to a red tinted sky and his… friend? Lover? Semantics he’ll figure out later suggested they go toward the wavering glow in the distance, he hesitated.

“Fic, I don’t really think it’s a good idea,” Scald warns because he’s experienced previous occurrences of similar fashion. They never ended good. But he wouldn’t allow her to go alone either. That wouldn’t settle well with him if something bad did happen.

Approaching the newly emerged stones with Fic at his side, often bumping his shoulder with hers to ensure she was still there, Scald slowly comes to a stop. His eyes go wide as he stares up at the weathered stone in a mixture of awe and concern. “These don’t look new but I’ve never seen them before..” he says quietly to her as he takes a step closer to the nearest one.

They must have fallen asleep curled close together at the new place she discovered. Ears twisting upon her cranium. She looked to him, worry laced within her emerald gaze to Scald, wondering what they were in all honesty. She was starting to feel feelings for the masculine. Only once before she had felt these strange feelings. But they would figure it out together - she was sure of that. A smile and a tender nip to his cheek was offered as she rose up. A strange red glow cast out over the lands, and it worried Identification slightly. But she had too investigate for her friends, to keep everyone safe.

Feeling his shoulder bumps often brought her back to earth, her thoughts she found often trailing to everything that could possibly happen. Fic turned to him. "They weren't here before that I know of." A shiver trailed over her as she pushed herself up against his own mass even more. Knowing that she was protected with him. Her voice laced with a hint of worry and care. "I think it has to mean something though Scald. And thank you for not allowing me to come alone." She had meant that too, thankful that he was here beside her.

There is comfort in the warmth of Fic as they stand before the ominous outcroppings. He could really call them that though... They were foreboding. No, terrifying. Every time he looks at them, a shiver runs down his spine, but he also feels more drawn to them.

"How did these appear over night?" Scald speaks softly, more to himself than Fic. It would not be the first time that something like this had happened in his lifetime and by the looks of it, it probably wouldn't be the last. "A few years ago, ancient altars, these great statues, appeared throughout Boreas and Auster. Much like... Whatever these things are, but the sky didn't turn red then," his voice shakes a bit as he steps forward.

"No way I'd let you go it alone," he tries to smile and glance over to meet her green eyes, but quickly it flicks back to the towering spires. "Nothing good can come from this," Scald's lips wrinkle slightly as he stops again, only a few feet closer, eyes drawn up toward the sky where the redness still covers everything like a veil. Or was it something else?

The spires were large, creeping from the ground up from the tremors and quakes the earth had released. Scald had seemed to be slightly confused, maybe he had seen something like this before. Maybe no in this style, but possibly something else? Identification lowered her cranium as taking in the scents, but there was none that came from the spires except for the scent of earth. She listened to him speak about a what happened a few years ago, was he talking about the stones that were in a circle down in Auster? Fic was sure to stay beside him, not letting him too far from her vision, but the way she had spooked her. Causing her to move closer against him.

"I wish I known how they appeared, possibly from the many tremors and quakes that been going all threw Boreas sweetheart." It slipped as her cheeks started to become rose like hue under her cream coat. Her coat seemed to hold with the blood colored sky, she didn't miss his smile as she offered one to try and hide the fear that raced within her. "I thank you for coming, but there is some..." Her eyes went to the spires, there seemed to be designs or possible writing upon them. "Look at this dear. It seems to be writings or some type of design marked all over them." Her tail went between her back legs as she would draw closer to one.

Never seeing anything like this, she was worried. And every right to be. Never in her life had she witnessed something like this. But there was also a sense of safety knowing that Scald was right there beside her.

Little Sagittarius was prancing in and around the Spires. Growing closer and closer to a few larger ones near the center, when a scent wafted towards her nostrils. Ears perk forwards it couldn't be him. Her older brother, well one of them at that. Her coat matching the surroundings sprinkled with stars and fairy dust began to trot in the direction. A tilt of her small skull was given as another woman was beside him, they appeared to be talking with one another, maybe she should interrupt? But no, not right yet. A small laugh emitted from the young girl. Even though father had told her to go home, she didn't listen. Honestly rarely ever listened. Although she learned often from her mistakes. This one she wouldn't listen about. She needed to help protect her family. And besides, Scald was gone, snuck away with a strange female and Sagittarius was curious. Watching them for a little bit longer. The young girl trotted up to her brother casting some what of approval glances towards the female who was very close to Scald. Her tail rose up in dominance. "Brother! Papa don't want us here." Her small tail dancing around behind her. "And who's you?" She spoke more to Identification than her brother, being nosey was a specialty of Sagittarius's.
