Sleepy Fox Hollow damn the dark, damn the light

The search for his god had yet to end. Cenric had been around the woods, through the flatlands, and even back up the mountain, and he had yet to find anything worthwhile. It’s unfortunate, but he wouldn’t quit. The Déorwine was determined to bring good news to his family. Soothe their restless minds. Only an extraordinary sign would satisfy them. Célnes’ decision to let outsiders into the fold shook them to the core. Outsiders like-

Clarence.

Germanicus and the boy had been his sister’s doing, but this one.. this was his decision. It was he who led the family to the abandoned forest. Did anyone know of that? If they did, did they approve of that? Knowing them, surely not.
But Clarence was for their benefit.

Cenric pushed through the underbrush and stood by his side. Surprised to see you here.
