Be gone fireflies

"No complaints from me," he replied when Eska suggested that they start moving a bit faster. The sooner they got back home the better. He picked up into a lope as well, trotting alongside Eska with long strides as they made their way around the plains to loop back up toward the castle. Somehow it felt like even though they were moving faster it felt a bit like they weren't making that much more progress as the blue-hued fog began to gather more thickly, obscuring the grasses around them. It made the fur on the back of his neck stand up and he glanced around them uneasily. The fireflies were everywhere, but that wasn't really new. That was slightly concerning was a taller, glowing figure that he spotted a short ways off. "What is that...?" he muttered, watching it as they moved quickly across the plains. Eventually he made out the shape of the buck that was moving toward them, the same odd glow as everything else all over its fur, eyes, and antlers.
