The crack digs apart fairly simply, though it is more rock than dirt. But each time Gyre pulls the dirt apart, the glow stays in the ground itself and not in the bits he's removing. It looks like the glow is, in fact, coming from below. But from what? He feels his hand brush up against something that sends an electrical spark up his arm with a 'CRACK' at the exact same time he feels a hand press onto his shoulder.
If, or probably when, he whirls around to see who it is: It's a child. Their hair is a mix of reds and browns, an earthy equivalent of salt-and-pepper hair. They have dark orange eyes that are watching him, and they're wearing completely tattered rags that can't even really be called clothes.
