Sorry for the delay. I have this right now. I can add more and/or change it if you don't like it. Just let me know.
Terra tilts her head to the right ever so slightly. She had heard something. What was it? Closing her eyes, she listens. There it is. It’s the sound of Haumiaroa’s pipeflute. Her love has caught her fresh batch of Fireflies. Very good. The longer the Spiral does this, the more the Fireflies seem to cooperate with her. Makes things so much easier than they would be otherwise.
Smiling, she puts her own pipeflute to her lips, letting her love know that she will be heading back soon. Turning back to her task, she continues along the edge of the swamp near a particularly dark area. Something has been nagging at her. The wisps seem particularly agitated. Perhaps she will see something while out here. Some hint as to what is coming. If it is trouble, she must know so they can warn their clan.
Growing still, she gets a sense of what is bothering the nature spirits. Something is coming. From the past and into the present. Something old. Beings that have been hidden from them all for so long and yet they should know them. Kin. Change is coming to the world. Prepare.
Terra is in bed. She does not remember returning home. Based on how tired Haumiaroa appeared when she first woke, the Spiral female very likely was told by her Fireflies that something was wrong and fetched her home. The Skydancer would be so lost without her.
“You should be more careful.”
She chuckles softly at the stern concern aimed her way. “Yes, yes, I should. Though I rather enjoy you caring for me.” Terra laughs as she is tsked at. Then she grows more serious. “Haumiaroa, you must consult your Fireflies. Something is coming. Something old.”
The Spiral gives her a look of concern. “Something old? Does it bring danger? What of the forest?”
Terra shakes her head lightly. “I do not know. It is something old, from the past. Change is coming. We must be ready for it. Perhaps your Fireflies can reveal more than my vision did. As long as we prepare, I think that we will be fine.”
