The oddities did not end with the spires. While the stone spires were a fair distance away the newest shift in land was not. In fact it was right in the Hallows backyard. Aster paced back and forth as he delivered the news of strange formations of earth, channels weaving through the land dividing the Fossil Ridge from the Shimmering Shore. Nelu did not know what it meant but it seemed there was something going on below them in both continents.

He swiftly gathered his things and if she had ready his mind he heard his sister call. Nelu moved quicker, swiftly catching up with the group as they headed to the source. Beneath his paws he could hear a low rumble, like the earth was shifting but it wasn't the short violent surge of an earthquake but like something below them was… tunneling. His brow furrowed and he looked to Ember. "Do you hear that? It sounds like there's something… alive beneath our feet. Something big, churning the earth. Could it be more spires? Or something else." He stalked along one of the channels, sniffing here and there before he started digging in the earth, turning it over and testing the scents of the dirt deeper down, searching for clues.
