I will still be here, stargazing
Iskra nodded through the brush, clutching that useful tidbit tightly in his mind. "Thank you, that's good to know." Iskra could not do much with it sadly, as he only had his basic axe at his side and his weak flames at his disposal. He had enough wilderness survival to have gotten by all these years hacking through the more wild parts of Halo, but the void had certainly made things more dangerous. Even for him, a speck of dust to the Family, he still had to contend with their infection that had spread throughout the lands and driven some of the flora and fauna mad. What worked against the normal threats out here, couldn't always stave off the void.
"I suppose I ought to," Iskra admitted warily as Deimos mentioned the barracks and academy. "I didn't expect we'd contend with the void as long as we have. That bear is just one of the many ruined creatures I've come across as of late around here. Cutting wood has become more unpredictable." Iskra took that trusty axe from his belt and saved off a piece of the dark wood, seeing what the color underneath looked like. It was the first promising one he'd found, although it didn't quite fulfill his vision. He'd take it for now, but keep looking. Carefully, he used the edge of his axe to neatly shave the limb from its parent bough.
