Blackfeather Woods don't trust people you meet

at first i thought you meant astara was a toad

Mou had been brought to a place within the forest and tended to by Relmyna, who at this point remained fixed in the boy's mind as Almost Maegi, and aside from that he had no idea what to do with himself. He was still too weak to do much. It was like being back upon the island of Undersea; Mou was placed with others in need of care and was checked on infrequently, and so he rested for long periods.

He woke from a deep slumber — the sleep of the nearly dead — and as the strange dream in his mind fragmented and was forgotten, he fixed his singular eye on a distant object moving in the dark of the wood. It wasn't too far from him, but without the ability to discern depth of field, it seemed like the figure was much further away from him. He watched as the child played their game, but did little else.
