[quote=Mokley]The rune that Hania had touched began to shimmer ever so slightly. The metal platform trembled, and dirt and rock were dislodged from its edges.

Hania beamed with delight at receiving a response from the metal platform. She gave it one last look before running her fingers over the other markings in hopes that she'd continue to make progress. Once she'd run out of grooves to clear out she stood up and gave it a final looking over and nodded, content with how things turned out.

[quote=Mokley]The owl spread its wings and floated toward them again with a silent flap of feathers. It lighted on Damiann's shoulder, tickling his ear with its wing, and it stared at him with big, meaningful eyes.

Hania ducked as the owl flew overhead and rested on Randold's shoulder and giggled as the bird brushed up against his face. The humor of the situation was soon overcast by the large looming eyes lurking behind the tree. They darted around, focusing on each person for no long period of time. They dilated and expanded, readjusting to each target as it sized them all up.

"O- over there,"she said, pointing weakly towards the tree and the large yellow eyes, "...i- it's here."
