Danu smiled, thinking of how homely her own had proven to be the past few days. Especially when everyone came over for breakfast.

But there's something a bit more concerning. There's an unknown energy that's somehow built up and is now residing in my body. There aren't any effects from what I've seen, but... It's still worrying...

It might be something completely different than what you're thinking... Whatever it is, though, I've been feeling fine. It's not solidified, it's just... pure energy. Like, it's not a gas, liquid, or solid... I don't think it's Essentia, either... If it's Essentia or Ether at all, it might be something new, or a combination. I haven't completely scanned the energy readings yet, though, so...

Taint takes time to solidify, and it usually doesn't start out as a gas, liquid or solid. it's... hard to really describe, and there is a lot of debate as to how it acts before it takes physical form. how did you find this out?

Well, one day my gloves malfunctioned, so I had to take them off... I checked it and discovered there'd been holes burnt through it by the crystals, and they weren't new, either. That's why I have a burnt triangle on the back of both my hands... *looks at the papers some more* ...So, fearing the worst, I decided to scan my body for physical, chemical, and energy-based changes. ...
