Emberwood the days feel like years when I'm alone

Hearing Sarah deny what little hope she held made Ibis frown. Her aunt wasn't always in a positive frame of mind; but Ibis knew she spoke the truth, and while it hurt to think of everyone missing from her life, she had to go on. And to answer her question - Reiko is still here. Kukulkan too, and probably a couple others, but not enough for us to keep the woods safe. A sigh, and she lets the frown melt away.

Reiko and I came up with a plan though. She has a friend living in Kaistleoki - her name is Ira? I met her when I scouted for dad. She used to live in Easthollow but moved around the time Okeanos and I left the Hollow. Quickly recapping that part of her life, Ibis plunged ahead: Reiko is going to gather up whoever she can find, and I will too. We were going to meet at the old council meeting spot and head out for Kaistleoki together. Would you come with us?
