// somebody told me that there's two sides to this life //
Water drip drip dripped from the high ceiling. The echo was a shimmer like distant music in the air, like a hundred prayers yet to be spoken, tied to tongues that would never speak again. The occasional scrape of a boot against rock sounded offensive in the stillness, crude and out of place - which tracked, because so too was the seedlings of void-cursed Spineblooms that had begun to grow in cracks and nooks all around the healing springs. If ut had been just one or two she could have ignored it or just yanked it up with the roots. But the more Maea looked the more of them she saw, until she finally couldn't take it anymore.
"I know we came to search for lilies, but this just won't do," she murmured to Alys, already scrunching her nose against the unpleasant odor. "Will you help me? With our magic we shouldn't have to get close..." And perhaps she could get some practice in as well. There had been too many close calls lately and she had a feeling she could make better use of her gifts.

Spinebloom (Common): Once a vibrant flower with razor-sharp petals, the Spinebloom has succumbed to the influence of void energy. The petals now emit an eerie, dim glow, and their edges have become even sharper. Touching the Spinebloom now can cause an unsettling numbness, and the once sweet fragrance has turned into a foul, otherworldly scent.
