The question now is,
how deep was the hole?
how deep was the hole?
The light had grown almost blinding by the time everyone was done talking. Rae-Ah didn't notice this with her eyes shut in cold sweat. Everything came as a blur, barely being able to comprehend their words in between the white, hot flashes of pain. The man earlier, Luke, he was heading towards the opposite direction. But why? Why couldn't they all stay together? The questions flew in circles around her head, bombarding her conscience. The priestess did not belong here. Much less, not in that monstrous form...
“We don’t need all three of us in possible danger.”
Danger...? I don't...
“Rae! Look at me!”
Adam's yelling brought her back to her senses. Eventually, the markings faltered with its glow, but it hadn't stopped completely; it was dim at the least... and it would stay like that- unless they found something to eat within the next couple of hours. The heat and pressure from her head caused a tiny stream of blood to flow from her nose, but it was nothing she couldn't handle.
"I... I truly am sorry, I did not mean to alarm anyone. The events of today... has rendered me a little weaker than what I am normally. I am sorry, again, but please do not worry!" her voice shook but she was steadfast in her response. Rae-Ah decided she simply could not hold them back from proceeding further into salvation. For the good of everyone on the team, she had to suck it up for as long as she could manage, no matter how much discomfort she was going through.
Rae-Ah held a hand up to her face to provide pressure to her nasal canal in an effort to stop the bleeding. The blood stained the sleeve of her previously immaculate robe, but that didn't matter. They had to move-- and quick. She gave a reassuring look to everyone within the vicinity, with a flash of worry as soon as she glanced at Luke. Rae-Ah probably could not convince him if she tried, but she looked to Marcus and Adam to reconsider bringing him along with them.

I'll get a post up before I head to bed :F
Welcome to the guild! :) It's good to have ya.
When Skylar mentioned snacking on the colorful grass, it took me way back to the WillyWonka days
<Snipped quote by Zombehs>
No one had volunteered by the time I got around to posting, and I figured since she was following their voices it would realistically be one of them she'd bump into... Sorry if that assumption upset anyone. T.T
It's no problem :) all is well
Rae-Ah quietly nodded in response to Nova's introduction. The girl had an air of self-confidence around her, so there was no doubt she was also confident they were going to make it through the day the way they were. However, the girl was not sure of Nova's choices in edible supplement. How did she know the oddly-colored tall grass was edible? That information was not ingrained in anyone else, otherwise they would have eaten the plants earlier. Certainly, not even the older man knew, Rae-Ah deducted as she watched him slice a chunk of the venison and hold it out in her direction. God knows where the deer even came from, but she'd have to trust the group that formed, otherwise she'd be all alone in this foreign land.
"If our circumstances absolutely demand it, I suppose we should travel. After all, the plains lay scarce of any traces of water..." the girl took a step behind Marcus to bring herself out of everyone else's line of sight. That was the most she'd said during the entire day. Rae-Ah's hunger was beginning to get painful, along with her thirst- but definitely not for water.
Her head increased in temperature drastically, which worried Rae-Ah. The red markings on her forehead started to emit a bright, crimson aura. The more pain she was in, the more light it shone. From behind Marcus, Rae-ah reached an arm out towards Luke who openly offered the meat, only to retract it once she realized it was probably rude to ask first. She proceeded to keep her head down as she stood in Marcus' shadow.

Rae-Ah blushed as the two men prodded at her shrieking from earlier, which led even more blood to rise up to her face, roughly giving her the vibrancy of a tomato. The man with red markings introduced himself as Adam, a seemingly normal, human name that generally didn't fit in with his outlandish tribal tattoos. Other than that, she was sure he meant no harm to the rest of them. The other seemed to have retained his human form as well, with no deformities of any kind. They were normal.
“Might want to plug your ears a bit for this,” Rae carefully wrapped her hands around each ear in an effort to decrease the noise, “Rise and shine! Everybody get over here!”
Her ears twitched as she sensed another being heading closer from behind her, as the grass rustled violently. With her new ears, the sounds other entities made were amplified by a tenfold. It hurt to listen to Adam yell, but to her surprise, a woman rose from the tall grass. She was supported by what resembled a snake's lower half, with a human's upper torso. The reptile slithered towards the tiny group, and then bumped into one of the men. An... ophidian? No, another being that came from her story books. Why were they like that? Why couldn't they have retained their original forms like Adam and Marcus?
At this point, Rae-Ah was done being shocked for the day. She wanted answers, but it seemed like no one else knew how to provide them.
"My dear, are you alright?" she shakily asked the serpentess.
Another gust of wind brought over the scent of fresh meat, coming from the elder man's direction. Earlier, she had been disgusted. After a couple of minutes, her head felt hot and heavy, almost as if her forehead was being burnt away. The fox watched as the man who called out for the venison dug into the meat. She expected the bile to rise up to her throat after witnessing that, but her hunger only grew worse as she began to salivate.
The gods aren't listening.

My apologies, @VitaVitaAR, but who exactly did you bump into? No one in particular was tagged so I'm kinda lost.
