I Still Hold On

As Lukina checked her surroundings for fireflies she noticed a pale woman with red markings digging in the dirt not far off. She was digging at the base of the spire and asked the older woman if she'd seen the carvings. Lukina nodded and moved closer. "Yes, they look like screaming faces. Not a terribly encouraging omen. Have you found anything in your digging?" Her ears perked up as she spied her pack mate Rougarou. She shook her head. "I don't know what they mean but perhaps…" her voice drifted off as she looked to the wolf with goggles to see if she had an analysis to share.

"I know this seems an odd question but has anyone seen any fireflies about? It seems like every so often there are these strange events. I've been away from these lands for a bit but the last time I was…" She shuddered, swearing she could feel the ooze starting to drip from her nose.
