A Little Bit of Blue

Ulric tilted his head as the iridescent glow of the plant life he experimentally touched seemed to glow brighter and in a way it did remind him of the glow the beach near the castle had at night, but the feeling in the air here make him feel like this wasn't a naturally occurring thing. He was briefly distracted from the thought as Eska came up beside him and nuzzled his shoulder, making him smile as she turned his gaze toward her. She stepped past him into the circle of stones and he was just about to follow her when she suddenly stopped and a yip sounded in the air. His ears perked and he looked past her, seeing a white fox with eyes that made his brow crease with confusion. That uneasy feeling he had sensed only intensified as he watched it duck behind one of the stones only to have the yip they heard before come from behind them.

The fur on the back of his neck stood on end and he turned around to look at the strange fox again, his ears flicking back against his head as he watched it. As Eska came up beside him again he leaned lightly into her side, feeling the need to make sure he knew where she was while he kept his silver eyes fixed on the ghostly fox. Her question over whether they should leave or not brought a nod from him. He had faced a lot of things and was the first to step up and face some sort of threat, but something like this, something that felt so otherworldly, put him on edge. "Yeah... I don't think we should stay here," he replied, more than ready to get away from the glowing gaze of this strange fox.
