| Somnus understood their uncertainty. He had plenty of his own, gazing out at the unnatural field of glittering, gemstone-like flowers. The voice drifted through his own head, unwelcome and sudden, and the dunalino sucked in a deep breath, ears falling back. For a few moments he held his breath, staring hard, cautious, uncertain… Nothing about this was normal, and it reminded him so much of the glowing pool of gold that he and Regis had found weeks back. Could they be connected? This place did not feel of any god he knew, and it most certainly could not be Oriens. Could it? The magic that seeped and crawled through the soil here could be felt through every breath that he took, and just as with the golden pool, Somnus felt drawn towards the drifting field of glittering flowers. He did not yield, however. Something about this just didn’t seem right, and he was fairly certain that it meant no good. “I’ve never seen anything like this before, Regis, no,” Somnus relented softly, watching as the yearling balked and backed up a few steps so that he was snug and protected between the Dawn King and the Warden, “But… Perhaps you both are right.” The flowers were close, very close, and it really wouldn’t take much of anything at all to step out and walk through their glittering waves, but… He couldn’t. Not after what had happened last time. This was supposed to be a simple outing, after all, and he would loathe if something happened to Regis or Ulric just to sate his unending pool of curiosities. Later, perhaps. Maybe on his own, or he and Ulric could return on their own. Regardless, it was strange, and Somnus made a mental note to keep an eye out for things like this in the future. Verdant eyes turned towards Regis, taking in his son’s worried face for a moment before lifting to stare into Ulric’s familiar golden eyes. “Come. We should return to the citadel and inform the court. I would like to keep track of these strange occurrences that have been popping up around Novus…” One last look was sent towards the field of flowers, the glittering of their gemstone-like petals of various colors seeming to beckon and wave them closer. The Dawn King frowned, and with a flick of his tail, ushered Regis between he and Ulric and turned to head home. |
