Auraelish, Eliysiah, and a few other eclipsa slowly climb higher into the bright region, some struggling more than others. One or two seem to take note to how Eliysiah and her charge are moving forward and try the same thing, with varying succes. One screams in agony running back to safety and sight. Another grunts in the eclipsa way and just presses forward. another grunts and groans for a few seconds, then seems to figure something out and picks up speed while getting quiet. Another glows himself brightly trying to find a light that will beat the bright regions light, with mixed success. through all this Auraelish was fascinated, empathetic, impressed, proud, and calm. Presssing forward at a relaxed pace, he and Eliysiah spread out from each other moving closer to some of the other travelers, giving them some chance to figure out the trick, and maybe swap intelligence.
Eventually Auraelish decides to just grab one smaller then himself but with 8 limbs to his 6 at this point. Enveloping him in the shield bubble he was now forming, teaching this little guy the technique to some extent in the mingling eclipsa way. Fascinating, lunnaih as he was called was talented with light and power management but couldn't grasp the barrier technique for some reason... the fire aspect? "what about filtering your power through each limb and pressing it out as a current?" nodding eclipsa tentecle bundle motions and some "yes, yes that...seems to be working. Incredible."

Eliysiah enveloping another but not able to grow a barrier bubble as Auraelish does she instead finds herself with another friend growing his own barrier shield around her. "well how about that" she mumbled to an appreciative nod. This one was heading back home however so he moved along quickly, and in a clearly martial way for eclipsa. Not disturbing the sea bed at all and gliding through the water at speed without boiling the water. [hmm what kind of children would we produce I wonder]. Looking back to her charge she's met by an incredible sight.
Auraelish marching along now with 3 others sheltering in his bubble shield trotting along, and one of them seems to be a healer. Eliysiah is dumbfounded at this point seeing her charge display a skill that he'd developed on the spot, has any one else ever made such an ability? she hadn't heard of any one doing so, this could be a new skill for the eclipsa entirely. [This young fellow of the ecclipsa luminari tribe is going to be doing great things in his life]. continuing upward, the light finally dims, the heat eases off, then the water creates reflections and new colorful shapes beyond enticing the eclipsa to the surface world beyond the water.
