( Emilia di Carlo's hair has seen better days.

It looks suspiciously nest-like, and one of her sleeves singed and torn. The further she and Wrath walk back into the village, the more she feels it: the mark of hollowed things. The withered trees and the dying river beds. ... To say they have missed out on recent developments is an understatement.

But they do not come without news of their own.
)

We were able to go very deep into the volcano and discovered something in the process.

( For this rare moment, Wrath appears to be somewhat disheveled as well. His hair is out of place. There's light scratch marks upon his cheek. His suit is singed. His sleeve on the right sight has been entirely burned away, revealing a muscular arm. In his pocket, he carries with him a piece of what they found though he has little interest in mentioning that out loud just yet. He wants to understand what it is first, and so he glances at Emilia with a grim nod and then supplies further: )

At the center of the volcano, an apparent naturally made mirror is being used as a cork to hold back a mounting level of lava, a potent flow of magic, and an unimaginable number of spirits. The pressure appears to be mounting.

( ooc: vi and i had a hiatus in april, and this help explains the absence of emilia and wrath during that time. EDITED the following day when i realized i missed a detail about the volcano. it was naturally made from a large pool of dark water. )

[ That's one anniversary he's hoping not to pass either. With everything they're facing, it's easy to forget that the beacon is waiting for them. But it is nice to hear that she's optimistic about their ability to stop a volcano. He tries his best to latch onto that. ]

I really don't blame you. It's a shame we can't talk them into opening it early.

Even if they did, only one person can activate the beacon itself.

( A reminder she must give herself daily, seeing as she wants to kill Hatisse more often than not. )

[ Marcos has had limited contact with Hatisse, but he distinctly remembers the last time that he and Lorna were too far back in the line to get through. ]

And she's probably not interested in us bailing on her before we stop a volcano. [ Which is a huge impossible task, but at least Emilia seems optimistic. ] Do you know where she is now? Is anyone guarding her?
