Inguar bow ready responded “Not as dark as the grave lad.” But overall, there were long periods of silence. The occasional accompaniment of the echoing growls is joined by the sounds of movement about the campsite, and things moving, lumbering through the snow and claws scraping against trees in the distance. The sounds grew closer. Sometimes the steps in the snow had a hurried sound to them. Almost lateral movements, still difficult to tell how exactly they moved. Those hellish growls continued to echo across the forest; not seeming to vary even as the Hiisi seem to approach.
Raomohr looked back for a moment, seeing something happening to Niraya, eyebrow arched. Palkr saw as well, unphased. In the low light of the campfire, Odywyn’s muted, droning hum grew louder, his pendant began visibly shaking, finally shaking violently as the guttural song began to emit from his throat, echoing over the sounds of movement and clashing with the growls. It grows louder and his head whips back, pendant glowing a radiant blue, his eyes come open with a similar glow.

In his glowing eyes a rune can be seen.

Odywyn’s droning throat singing is seemingly joined by Raomohr, head whipping back, eyes toward the moons, Palkr turns to see, and looks to join in. Then it overtakes the party at the cart, the song not so much coming from them, as it was reverberating through them.
[sblock=Tekai]
For a brief moment, Tekai has a vision of his family, around a large wooden table covered in food, his mother, sisters and their husbands and children, walls of logs surround them, through the windows he can see other buildings. He looks over to the hearth where two men look stand, one is Tekai’s father smiling at him, the other he does not recognize, he is dressed in fine clothing and has long, golden hair, but his exposed body is covered in runes, he looks at members of Tekai’s family at the table. In that last second, Tekai felt the warmth of the hearth, calming him.

[sblock=Niraya]
For a brief moment, Niraya finds herself on a green hill on a clear, sunny day overlooking a village full of buildings of wood and stone with people walking the streets, off in the distance are more buildings, farms with people raising livestock and crops, pulling into one was Inguar on his cart. At her side are a man and a woman, the man she does not recognize, he is dressed in fine clothing and has long, golden hair, but his exposed body is covered in runes, he smiles at her. The girl looks away out toward the farm, her brown hair all Niraya has the opportunity to see. In that last second, Niraya felt the warmth of the sun, calming her.

[sblock=Sheng]
For a brief moment, Sheng finds himself in a stone building, looking out an open door into a village of dirt roads and stone buildings, people walking the street on a sunny day, among them Tekai, Seerah, Niraya, Inguar on their cart, as if waiting for him. As he turned to look into the building, he saw a man at a forge, his hair and beard black and wild, pounding at a blade with a hammer. Behind him, were three men, two of them, the tribesmen lost before his exile, they looked at Sheng, smiling, and there was another man he does not recognize, he is dressed in fine clothing and has long, golden hair, but his exposed body is covered in runes, he is looking at the man at the forge. In that last second, Sheng felt the warmth of the forge, calming him.

[sblock=Seerah]
For a brief moment, Seerah finds herself riding a horse across an open field, there was no snow, only sunlight shining down on the green grass, she looked back to see another horse being ridden by Niraya. Farther back she saw Asra, only bigger, running, not quite able to keep up with the horses but trying her best. She looked ahead, there were three people, an older man and woman, almost a faint memory, her parents, they were looking at her and smiling. And there was another man she does not recognize, he is dressed in fine clothing and has long, golden hair, but his exposed body is covered in runes, he is looking past Seerah, at Niraya. In that last second, Seerah felt an inner warmth, calming her.

They came back to reality in mere seconds, the sound still seeming to reverberate in them. The woods still black, echoing sounds growing louder. Past the fire, Palkr drew something using his blade in the snow, snow seeming to flow around his blade before he pulled it up suddenly, the snow flowing around him, evaporating with a shimmer over him.
