The forest was quiet.
Sam had been too focused on his mission to allow guilt into the light. Now it walked beside him as he made his way through the mishmash of ancient giants and virulent young evergreens, nose hunting for any trace of @Visala.
He could have called out - should have, but fear of being met with silence stole his voice. There were whiffs of Solenya and Kirain. Scattered, and faint. He was all but sure they had been taken - or, ideally, enticed to build a home in some other, less forested part of the world. He doubted it; they had both seemed quite keen on the sanctum and would not have left their friends behind. Ergo: taken.
Sam stopped in a large patch of ferns and drew a shuddering breath. The many-fingered leaves shivered when he let it go. What now?
