Emberwood as long i'm here, no one can hurt you

the council was quick to gather, each leader arriving in due time. bhediya chose to ignore kavik's words until everyone was present. lolita and i..., she began, interuppting herself with a frustrated sigh. her brow was knit tightly together as she searched for the right words. we were scouting in the southern valley, near easthollow and the creek.

there was a body there. the magician stopped to look at each leader's reaction. a young woman, uhm...not dead for very long. there are bodies everywhere, bhediya. get to the point. she'd been, another heavy sigh, assaulted, likely drowned. remembering the scene brought a wrenching pain to her stomach. she stood silent to allow for any responses.
