Siren's Summit

the Rift
In they all went, taking the malspira and leaving the Rift creatures upon the shore. The matriarch's eyes followed them for as long as she could, until the deep, dark waters swallowed the last of them. Now, there was nothing left to do but wait, and hope that the hearty equines were up to the task of relighting the hope at the bottom of the lake...OTEM, RIXEN, K'YARIE & WAKER
For a moment, nothing happens. The rocky path Otem found, and led the rest of them along, is quiet, as much as anything is quiet underneath the surface. It isn't easy to tell what is going on; the light is simply too murky, and the faint glow cast by some of the equine bodies doesn't extend very far. But—is that dark shadow a flash of movement? It comes again, closer, closer, until it is no longer a formless shadow flickering in the faint glow, but a pair of sirens unwilling to have their home disturbed. With bared fangs they charge at the group, frighteningly agile in the water. At the very last moment they pick their marks, one darting for Otem, the other for Waker.
AURELIA
Aurelia finds nothing of note.
KIADA
Kiada finds nothing of note.
TAIVAS & ROSCORRO
Taivas suddenly finds her path blocked by a siren; it seems to come out of nowhere. One moment it's just the murky lake, the next.. the siren's sharp teeth bared in her face, as it hung protectively between two stone pillars erected from the lake's rocky bed. A hiss made its muffled way through the water, bubbles escaping from its mouth. "What do you want? Why are you here?" it demands of the healer and Roscorro.
* Each round is 48 hours (give or take), and has no posting order. If you miss a round, don't worry - just post when you have a chance to!
* You're always welcome to jump in
* If you find the pace too high, let us know, and we'll slow down!
* Posts are encouraged to be 400 words or less.
If anyone's curious about the whys and hows of what's going on, it was determined via dice roll. I tried to do the grouping based on the posts, but some were fairly vague on with who they were close to (or not), so if it makes more sense for your character to be closer to someone else, just write it like that! :D If you want to include "is close to X" in the next round that's fine but not mandatory. :)
