Emberflame Ridge there's no turning back now

She was smiling until he asked after her own adventures, at which point the expression faltered a little. It has been a while, hasn't it. A lifetime ago things had been so different; she had been too, lighter, with less worry in her life. She'd had it easy.

I found out that my dad was living nearby, so I went to visit him and eventually decided to live with him. To.. give him a chance. He's over in Lost Creek Hollow. It was... very different from Elysium. More work, certainly. Less of a sanctuary. There had been so many different kinds of people - Ibis thought fondly of Gannet, Ashlar, and Breccan.

After a few months Okeanos came to find me. He wanted to go on an adventure - um, I don't know if you remember Mali? He grew up with us. Okee wanted to find him and nake sure he was doing ok. So we left the Hollow. We travelled a bit and found Mali - now Mal - in a place called Neverwinter. Ibis didn't want to go in-depth with that; being around Mal had been hard for her despite trying so hard to befriend him.

Eventually I wanted to go home, and when I did, I found it empty. The quakes were terrifying - I lost track of Okeanos, and have been waiting for him to come home. But with winter coming it feels so bleak... Ah, she didn't want to delve too deeply in to that ominous feeling either. The girl sighs, tries to laugh it off, but her mirth is forced. I miss him so much, Seamus, but I have to believe he is safe somewhere.
