I look down in confusion.

It's a shadowy tendril, much like the ones binding Luca down. But it seems kinda sluggish as it slowly goes up your arm.

Pixie inhales sharply. "What the heck is this?" She has one wrapping around her arm too.

I growl and move my arm away angerly "get it off... Its one of the tendrils holding luca down..." I hiss.

It lets go of you rather easily, but it just tries to latch back on.

Pixie tries to kick the tendril, but it sticks to her foot.

"No... Dont kick it" I say facepalming and let some of the smoke out of my skin as it created bit of a haze or fog, out of frustration I quickly went to Pixie and pulled her out of the tendril and out of distance.

Now that you're a little further away, you can see that Sibnele has pulled his knees up to his chest, and is trembling. His eyes are still closed, though. . .is he having a nightmare?

"Ugh, of course he does things while he's asleep. . ." Pixie mutters. "If we can sleepwalk, why can't he do this?"

I rub my chin "maybe... It was a call... For help... Haran, Pixie... Stay here... Im going to go make sure he's alright..." I mumble and step back towards Sibnele.

Haran silently nods, scared.

Pixie sits down and watches it all happen.

As you walk, a few tendrils grab at your heels.

But I ignore them quietly shaking them off, as I continued to step forward smoke absorbing into my body to make jt easier to see.

You can hear Sibnele hyperventilating as he sleeps. There's no grass under him anymore - it's all withered away, leaving only dry soil. But a few spots look a little hydrated. . .maybe he's crying, too. . .
