At first there had only been one firefly that emerged from the dark branches -- and everything, to Arin, was black beyond the reach of the lantern. And then, more fireflies flashed around him, appearing seemingly out of nowhere. They gathered together in a trail behind him, silently pulsing their yellow glow, as if in response to the lantern's red light.

Oh gosh, I just realized how vital those fireflies are going to be in the possibly near future. I can't help but feel like they're some type of omen.
