I Still Hold On

It was the eerie red light that first made Lukina's stomach drop. It reminded her too much of the long night, of the eerie moon that lingered over them and the strange swirling lights in the sky like the stars were running together. The terrible illness. She'd been lucky not to suffer any serious damage from it. Would she be so lucky this time? Lukina stalked around the spires, the red light making her coat look almost a soft pink and her red eyes shine even brighter. This had to be connected some how, only in these lands had she seen such strange phenomena. Lukina pulled her eyes from the spires and glanced around, searching for the sign of any fireflies. While she did the wind began to slither through the openings in the spires, making a terrible groaning sound.
