I Can't Stand The Suspense Here Anymore

Dagrún very much regretted touching that crystal. As far as she was concerned that had to be the reason she was now afflicted with this mysterious illness that caused crystalline mineral deposits at the corner of her eyes and nose. They itched and irritated her but nothing she did seemed to soothe them. She'd try going to Álarr but apparently he was sick with a fungal infection that he feared was contagious and so he wouldn't see her. She returned to her den and curled up on the elk pelt that lined it. Was anyone else suffering from the same thing she was? No doubt there were strange diseases starting to creep through the land and she hoped that this wouldn't be permanent.
