The moist, glowing floor of the Glimmerdeep Cavern breathes with a slow, steady pulse. A Bogwriggle—endowed with three brain cells and not a shred of self-preservation—shuffles through its monotonous routine: eat moss, sleep, repeat. Abruptly, it stops. Towering before it is a shape swathed in crimson, a needle held ready—a Hornet, though the grub understands only a vague unease. The Bogwriggle stares for two long, silent seconds, utterly baffled, then dismisses the apparition and returns to its meal, unaware of the hunter in its midst. *Bogwriggles, Glowwardens, and Mireheart are mute.*
