it's just a spark, but it's enough to keep me going
"... eight... nine..."
CRACK!
Sohalia jumped, her eyes flying open at the sudden noise and the screams of terror that followed. She glanced toward the girl and was momentarily relieved to find her safely standing near the edge of the Observatory platform, looking out over the railing. At least whatever was happening didn't have anything to do with them.
The young woman rushed to the railing beside the child, peering out into the darkness. There were thrashing noises in the tree branches below them, but she couldn't see the person who had clearly fallen over the rail. How in the world had that happened? Had he jumped?
But then the girl looked at her, eyes devoid of emotion, and said, "Time to seek." And for a moment, all Sohalia could do was gape at the child in terror. "Y-you - h-how - oh my gods!" Sohalia finally shrieked, throwing herself from the child and rushing to the nearest stairwell. Unfortunately for her, many of the others on the platform had the same idea, whether it was their intention to watch in horror or offer assistance.
