Anneleigh followed path back to Tearfall
Run. As she approached the small
research party she passed Laria’s forest Alter and grimiced. Right now all she wanted was an impossible
wish, a wish for further instruction from the forest guardian, but she knew

and guards. Anneleigh approached Fiona
and relayed her instructions.
