Seemed the area Fury moved to had been a good choice, as she once again took a break to inspect the small stones that had been hidden by the overgrown green. She didn't want to be seen dallying for too long, though, and quickly resumed uprooting the grass.

It all seemed to happen so quickly. First one doe started, and then the Obelisk reacted - and wasn't that strange? - and then everyone was getting in on it. First to Strike shook his head. He'd never thought of himself as slow to react, but it was nice to know that everyone was willing to pitch in when there was clearly something to do. The loss of his newest friend to frenzied digging, though, had First to Strike trotting out to find someone new to bug, with just a nod back at Never Misses and Grumble. He'd stay within walking distance. "What are these even for?" he marveled, stomping up next to a green kimeti buck to shake his head at the stones underfoot. Wait, was he organizing the grass? First to Strike shrugged. That...would probably be better for the group. He pitched in to help, trying to ensure that everything was neat.

As Fury tosses the last of her grass to the side, she realizes that she can see quite a bit more of the ground around the group.

Half Truth continued to tear at the grass. She chewed on some- it was strange-tasting and not quite like any swamp grass she'd ever eaten. Another of the smaller stones was underfoot.

The approach of the does was noted as a piece of unimportant trivia as he pulled up grass, until one of them asked him a question. It took a split second to register what she was asking, and then his head snapped up. "YEBFFF," he yelled around a mouthful of grass, then paused to spit it out to the side. "Yes," he replied much more clearly (and a mite quieter), "I do! That is my son's name! Have you met my son? He's such a sweet boy, a little independent but very good and very kind."

So the smaller stones were different colors. If there was a meaning to that, Fury wasn't going to to be the one to try puzzling it out. She was alright with doing clean-up duty, though... it seemed a shame to waste so much edible grass.

 King didn't seem too concerned with the obelisk, it wasn't that it was unimpressive, simply that at this point in his life he was jaded by most things. The strange structure seemed like it was someone else's problem, not something which concerned the fairy tribe in an imminent way, after all if it had been there long enough for this much grass to overtake the land, reason stood that it would be just fine for however much longer.
But as always there was curiosity and its usually devastating effect. He fully expected someone in the group to find a way to trip the thing much the way the other had been triggered according to the twins. The twins. Of course they would have been involved in setting something likely horrible in motion. The thing felt sinister and like it should have been left alone.
And yet in spite of all his misgivings, there was nothing he could do to avert the same thing potentially happening again.
He didn't want to give his permission to Stalker, but if they were to remain part of this group and not be left to suffer the ache unguarded, this was simply the situation that they were in. With a sigh he scuffed at the ground with a dainty hoof, moving some of the grass.
"Perhaps there are just these two, perhaps there are a hundred." Perhaps they were the source of the ache, constraining them all to the swamp, sometimes against their will.
"What does it matter?" Fair was more curious than he, his curiosity came forth only rather dramatically when he felt hopeless. "We are here with other purpose, but do as you will."167/250

As Fury tosses the last of her grass to the side, she notes that the group has been making quick progress. A large swath of ground is visible.

"I did!" she called. "He and I- and Roses here- we were all there when the first obelisk... woke up. The lights in the sky. I hope he's well, I haven't seen him since. He takes after you- there's a lot in your faces that's similar. I'm Half Truth! It's nice to meet you." She pawed at the grass, tearing it asunder after she spoke, finding another small stone in the process.

The group was becoming much livelier, talking as well as working. Fury wasn't much for the former, proceeding only with the latter, bolstered by so much ground being uncovered. She would continue to uncover more.

Little seeds were getting stuck in the fur around Half Truth's ankles. She shook her hooves as she tore, trying to get them off. She didn't clear much grass, but she did find another stone.

Fury had to respect the one kin keeping his torn up piles of grass so neat. She wouldn't be partaking, more in a rush than anything, but it might be a good thing to pass around to those who'd worked up an appetite.

Fury, in her determination, makes quick work of the grass. There is still a lot around them, but it stands in patches, leaving much of the ground mostly exposed. While they are seeing more of the ground, the glow of the Obelisk has remained unchanged. It seems more needs to be done.

The stag's eyes danced. "Aaaah, he told me about you two when he told me about that day! I've heard nothing but good things, I assure you. This is all very exciting, isn't it?" He exclaimed, apparently excited enough to burst. "This is a moment kin will be telling stories about for the rest of time!"
As an afterthought, he rote up a little more grass while listening to her response.144/250

While Fury didn't regret having left Swaddle behind to protect the lambs, she couldn't help but feel the eaglehound would have been a great help right about now. Still, she didn't pause, dutifully clearing more grass.
