"I-I-I have f-f-failed my duty," he rambled now, seemingly speaking to someone, but not Luna. It was as if he were glaring at someone standing next to Luna that she could not see. "P-p-PLEAS-lease f-f-forgive me, m-master. That wretched embodiment, s-s-she kept me b-busy."
When he, indirectly of course, referenced Vahaga as a 'wretched' embodiment, the domain grew even harsher still among the shaking of the realm. Gushes of snow began to fly into the cave as the mountain above quickly started to form an avalanche from all the shaking. Things were getting bad everywhere, especially for the old man and Luna.
"I-I-I know, m-master... Yes, I understand... N-n-no, I could- Yes. Yes, okay. T-t-thank you, master. I will n-not fail you this time."
And then, he glanced at Luna, a wicked smile spreading across his old wrinkled face as he ran deeper into the darkness of the cave, laughing as he left. His laughter echoed through the cave long after his body disappeared in the darkness the cave provided, but the snow seemed to be chasing after him, coming into the cave, threatening to crush Luna as it continued building up.
All over the realm, the ground would slowly begin to crack, faults forming all across it.
