It was a long, drowsy day. The air was cool and a gentle breeze rustled the many trees of the vast forest.
Or it would have been peaceful, if Error wasn't stuck with two deities dwelling in skeletons.

He sighed yet again as Curiosity spoke as a foggy, navy blue, pale yellow and white creature perched on Sci's shoulder. Said skeleton was still struggling to accept his situation, though he was at least capable of arguing in a civilized manner.

However, Seraphim very much wasn't a fan of Karma. The young god kept getting in spats as Karma maintained an air of indifference, considering his presence to be a business relationship when Seraphim AND his human Souls fervently disagreed.

There was a smell of cut and burnt grass in that direction, caused by the young god's anger at the ever emotionally constipated deity.

There was only a single major incident with Sci and Curiosity, and that was when the scientist went off on a tangent and ended up bringing out chemicals he mysteriously kept on his person for the sole purpose of causing an explosion.
Worse, Curiosity was delighted.

And worse, Error got involved because he absolutely was not interested. He wanted nothing to do with it. Not at all. He didn't smile at the green explosion and the smell of copper afterwards.

It was probably early afternoon when the unexpected earthquake hit them.
It wasn't big, only a low rumble that shook the trees, but everyone immediately knew something deeper was happening when all the pines began leaning in the same direction, a cold wind starting up.

He felt a sense of dread seeing the unmistakable threat of the forest, hopping atop a Blaster and zooming in the direction the trees were angling towards.

They knew immediately that something was wrong before the trees even so much as shifted. A deep sense of Wyrda had crashed over as they were trying to relax, urging the pair to stand, demanding they follow it to the place that the Fate of this world had begun to take action.

The pair found themselves in the vast clearing around the Menoa in time to witness the great tree awaken, roots lashing out and binding around the last true Dragon and Rider left of this world.

Finally, the voice of the forest, of the once she-elf Linnëa, spoke.
Who dares to disturb my peace? Who dares to bite me and burn me? Name yourselves, so I will know who it is I have killed.

Nightmare spoke up before Eragon could say a word, tendrils snaking along agitated roots that coiled and upturned the soil, scattering rodents and various other creatures as they exposed the dark earth.
They hurt me. Came the simple response.
