The Heartwood is to see the sky

Rannoch smiled at Terance's sentiment. "I want you to be happy wherever we go," he elaborated, "So I'll make sure that we're as close to the stars as we can be." 

Rannoch had told Terance some genuinely ridiculous stories and, the one involving Harold was no exception. "A bear chased us out of Hoshor Plains. We ran until we were nearly over the mountainside that protects the Vale." He could vividly recall the panic that had overcome him; with was a miracle that they had all survived relatively unscathed. "We kept climbing after that, and when we got to the top and saw what we had found, we knew we were home." Rannoch smiled fondly at the memory. 

"I'm not sure I'll feel the same way when I see it again," Rannoch admitted after a pause, his smile fading, and his pace slowing as he spoke.
