rises the moon

As Absinth delves deeper into the freshly dug cave, she grapples with the disorienting vibrations that seem to emanate from all directions. Suddenly, she is struck by a large brown worm, its markings resembling carved rock, shrieking menacingly. A rear paw is throbbing in pain, but she hold's stead fast as she peers up at the worm. Understanding that this creature, it's name echoed within her mind, is the source of the vibrations, Absinth resolves to confront it. With her guide by her side, she braces herself for the impending battle.

Gathering her courage, Absinth prepares to face the worm head-on, determined to silence the unsettling vibrations that have led her to this encounter. She steps forward, ready to confront the eyeless creature. But she wonders, if all of the other creatures were capable of reasoning, why not this one too? With it's many, many sharp teeth? Maybe she was just an idiot. "You have a name, don't you? You must be able to communicate. Tell me what's wrong! Why are you here?" Those markings, they had to mean something too.
