Crystal Hot-spot

As he continued to familiarize himself with Auster and the lands near the pack he had decided to join in a rare moment of spontaneity he started to work his way through some of the territories that he had either missed or hadn't bothered to fully investigate. He had passed by the canyon as he made his way around it to get to the shore a couple weeks ago, but he didn't actually go to check out the canyon itself until now. With the days and nights blurred together and screwy he couldn't tell when it was actually morning or not, but there was as much light in the sky as there ever was these days so he figured now was as good a time as any for some exploration.

He neared the canyon in question and was a bit shocked at what he found. Even from a distance he could see the glow that came from the tear in the earth and when he got closer he was able to make out what was causing it. Peaking down over the edge of the cliff, he saw that the walls of the canyon were dotted with strange, glowing crystals that made his brow crease with confusion and intrigue. At this point so many strange things were going on in the world that it hardly surprised him. Perpetual full moon, fireflies everywhere at all times of the day, the sun never fully rising... Sure, why not have some glowing crystals as well?

Ciná decided to get a closer look and after a bit of searching found a path that he could make his way down into the base of the canyon with. The path was a bit treacherous since it was also studded with crystals that he had to step over to prevent stabbing one of them into his foot, but eventually he made it. There was a steam running along the bottom and the surface of the water nearly looked like it was glowing as well as it reflected the light from the crystals and of the blue-hued fireflies. It took him a bit to realize it, but as he walked by the crystals they started to pulse and glow with a rhythm eerily similar to his heartbeat and immediately he began to question if coming down here was a good idea or not.
