[i]Long gone. [/i]That thought brought Fellwing some relief, the wings she'd practically glued to her sides relaxing the slightest bit. [color=#595555] "Oh— I see, that... makes sense,"[/color] she mumbled, embarrassed by her jumpiness. It did not become her. Thankfully, Runa's confidence was contagious, and so was her smile.[color=#595555]  "Thank you, the Moons themselves would have a difficult time finding a better bodyguard."[/color]

A sentiment that was reinforced the deeper they ventured, as Runa turned out to be very apt at navigating even the narrowest of tunnels despite her size. For the first time in quite a while, Fellwing herself felt quite thankful for her own lithe frame, even though the walls were nowhere close to touching her — [i]yet[/i], anyhow. 

Each time Runa glanced back at her, Fellwing did her best to offer her a wide, confident smile and a nod to confirm she was indeed still fine.

Then they heard a thud. So sudden and so loud that for a moment Fellwing mistook it for her own heart, trying to leap out of her chest. Even Runa, who she'd taken for a beacon of confidence, seemed shaken, her body tense. Fellwing held her breath, then nearly let it slip when another thud sounded ahead of them. They weren't alone. Moons, they were not alone.

And this time, it was up to her to help Runa.

Fellwing's eyes darted to the darkness that surrounded them. Ever so slowly, she closed her eyes, peered into another kind of Dark, and sought answers.

[hider=ooc]Fellwing rolls to Touch the Darkness for a vision of what awaits them in the dark, and with an [url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/rolls/28946]8[/url] chooses:
[i]- ... show you what you need to do; take +1 forward to do it.
- ... corrupt your soul; mark a Shadow[/i] (will decide which Shadow is appropriate after the vision)
