Ravensblood Forest there is a light that turns on when you’re feeling alone

“No, Pie,” Alaric said gently, the words rocking her world.

The implications frightened her badly. Treepie didn’t even want to face them at present. Maybe later, she would pick his brain to figure out where and when they were, though for the moment, all she could do was tremble slightly and bob her head.

My head hurts. Not constantly. But I get these flashes of pain. They’re pretty intense, she whispered as she prepared to follow him. The next few words tumbled out of her mouth without thought: Please, can we go back to Moonspear.

She’d almost called it home, even with the village gone. But it was bad enough that she was asking Alaric to backtrack. Pie just badly needed somewhere familiar and safe to orient herself. Once she was settled back on the mountain, she and Alaric—and Tiki, wherever she was—could hopefully solve this horrible riddle.

Figured we can fade here, so feel free to wrap it or just sent it straight to the archive. :)
