The rune itself seemed to look like a dark, onyx ribcage. It was strange to see that the group used other marks besides the skull as its means of communication. It glowed with a strange dark energy as everyone surrounded it. Squabee gestured over to Slimo.
"Bring the bracelet to me. It won't activate without it."
Slimo hesitantly set the bracelet down in her hands. As Squabee held the back of it to the ribs, something strange seemed to happen with the tree. It started bending over and pointing its tip in the north of where they were. Surprisingly, no matter how much the tree bent, it never broke. Squabee handed the bracelet back to Slimo and started walking in the direction the tree was pointing.
"Aren't you going to need this again?"
"Not for a while. You can hold on to it for now until we get there. I still want you all to trust me."
