The strange phenomenons that had been occurring since about mid winter didn't seem to be showing any signs of stopping. If anything, they had proven themselves to just be getting more and more odd and unsettling. The first night she had noticed the odd fireflies when she was in the garden with Aliana it had seemed like a strange but beautiful change that was confusing but still enjoyable. However, after the run in with the strange, glowing beavers that had attempted to block her from returning to the island several nights ago her opinion on the ghostly happenings were far less favorable. She didn't exactly feel like leaving the island right now as it was with the early, unpleasant symptoms of her pregnancy, but with all of these things going on it gave her even more reason to stay put on the island where it seemed like they were safe from the creatures that couldn't cross the water. Some of the fireflies had made their way to the island one way or another, but they seemed fairly harmless and mostly playful. Dalila had been making a point of spending more time with other wolves in their pack other than Siren. She of course loved the delicate woman dearly and would likely spend every minute of the day with her if possible, but Siren had her own children now and she supposed she would too soon enough. The thought still made her uneasy, but there was no turning back now. She had chosen to carry and keep these pups that she hadn't intended to have and she would need to get comfortable with this fact sooner rather than later. To help distract herself from the symptoms she was struggling through she had turned her attention to getting to know Aliana, Chimera, and even Cerberus. The boy spent a lot of time around Siren and so her as well by proxy, but they hadn't spent much time together on their own. With Scylla and Albion napping and Siren watching over them she decided to take Cerberus out to the greenhouse with her to help entertain the young boy and let the others rest. It was already dark even though it didn't feel like it should be that late in the day. The nights seemed to continue to draw out longer and longer and every day the bright, full moon lit up the sky. It seemed impossible for a moon to remain full for as long as it had, but in comparison to attacking beavers with glowing eyes she supposed that was probably the least of her worries. They drew closer to the green house and her steps slowed, blinking with surprise at the sight. "This... wasn't like this the other night," she mused as she looked at the greenhouse that was now full of plants that were bright and glowing with various iridescent hues of blue and purple. All of the plants that she and Siren had been working on cultivating here seemed to be effected by it and upon closer inspection the air within the glass walled house was also full of the strange fireflies. At least from where she was standing she didn't see anything else in the greenhouse and surely no animals could get in there, right? "Be careful and let me know if you see any creatures, okay?" she told Cerberus before she went to open the greenhouse door to let them in so they could get a closer look. WC: 582/2500 |
