While her head laid upon Deirdre's shoulder, Starbuck inhaled, and found that Deirdre smelled pleasant. Her coat was redolent with the smell of the forest and made airy with the scent of wildflowers. Oh! To think that a creature so beautiful could walk this earth. 

This forest in the arms of a mountain had brought her far, but she knew the place to be important. Sometimes her visions were not so clear, as this one was. But Starbuck had woken from it with so great an urgency that she knew she had to find it. Even if she found nothing at the end of her journey, she now had a home to go to, with a friend waiting for her.

Starbuck watched serenly as Deirdre did as many had done before her. The legs fell in a haphazard but legible array, and Starbuck could draw more meaning from them than she suspected. She felt Deirdre's eyes on her as she red, noting the juxtaposition of the two claws in comparison to the rest of the legs. Yes, she said, after some time of silence. Donnelaith will remain as it was meant to, but only with great effort. Your father's vision will only overcome opposition through grace and a firm hand. Yours. Deirdre, if you wish to see Donnelaith stay its course, you must assert your own control over it. Through persistence and dilligance, you can see Donnelaith through its challenges and it will emerge stronger for it.
