The descent down the falls was a peaceful journey. Caelia preferred her own company to that of others most of the time as well, his company was proving to be quite enjoyable. He didn't overwhelm her with conversation for the sake of it and she appreciated that. Maybe even more than that she was just happy to not be alone with all these strange occurrences; even admitting that the sight was beautiful did little to help her unease that seemed to be growing as they descended. The moon seemed even brighter now that they'd made their way down, and the stars even more striking in their streaking patterns - or maybe she was just imagining things? She squinted hard at the sky before refocusing her attention on her surroundings. The fireflies were only half of it it seemed. She hadn't come this way but she was surprised at what they found. Small crystals seemed to be stuck to rocks and trees, glowing and pulsing like the mushrooms she'd seen earlier had. "What the…" Her words trailed off as they neared the water, finding herself at a loss for words. The water glowing was the strangest thing of all. Tentatively she moved toward it, trying to get a better look at the glowing water, ebbing and flowing in color as it lapped at the shore. "What do you think it is?" She frowned a little as she stepped closer, not quite willing to let her paws touch the water yet, despite feeling compelled to. |
