“You spoke with the Elven goddess?” Carlo sputtered, bread crumbs launching from the corners of his mouth. “What… was she like?”

“She was big,” Kevon began. “And bright, and kind…”

“And afraid,” Yusa added. “Family troubles, it seemed.”

“I don’t like the man,” Alanna murmured to Kevon, “But he’s not easily shaken. We may need that.”

“She wants you to visit the others?” Mirsa pushed her plate aside and brushed at her robe.

“That’s what she said,” Yusa affirmed. “And you’re welcome to use my ship to get anywhere to that end. I’d volunteer to visit the other realms in a heartbeat.”

“Knowing that Light is the most pleasant of all the elements?” Mirsa asked. “I, for one, am relieved to have to stay here for a time, though returning to the Seat of Earth is not an unwelcome prospect.”

“It is a known destination, but does not further our understanding of the book,” Kevon spoke carefully, his mind full of memories and possibilities. Images of a vast expanse of waving grasses moved to the forefront of his thoughts. “Where is the Seat of Wind?”

“Lore on such things is unreliable, at best,” Mirsa shook her head. “Based on where Light and Earth reside, the most likely place is in the Highplain of Kelanoth.”

“Yes, far to the south, where the air grows cooler,” Aelion agreed. “Not a journey to be undertaken lightly.”

“Fewer things are these days,” Kevon shrugged. “As dangerous as the journey there will be, the crossing will be more so, and the waiting… doubtful there is a place so pleasant to pass the time as there was here.”

“You said before…” Aelion began in a low tone, as the room grew quiet. “She mentioned us?”

“She wished to know how you fared, and that you awaited her return,” Kevon answered. “But…” he searched for the correct phrasing. “She seemed surprised that any of us were alive at all. She thought our realm, our plane, had been destroyed. They all thought it. They’ve tried to return here, with no luck, and thought we were no more.”

“She did not forsake us…” Relaniel whispered.

“I told you not to despair, child,” Aelion chided his student. “Perhaps, with Mirsa’s continued help, we can send groups through to…”

“I will go with Kevon,” Relaniel stood from her place by Aelion, and crossed the floor between them in three quick strides. She sat by the Warrior, and peered at him. “If he’ll allow it.”

“I… uh…” Kevon looked at Alanna, who shrugged, smirking. “Why do you want to do that?

“You have spoken with M’lani, received her blessing. She cannot cross to be with us, but bids you speak with her family. I would love to see her,” The elf’s eyes glistened with half formed tears. “But you would be gone before the first group returned. I would see your journey to its successful conclusion before satisfying my own desires.”

“We would value your help on our journey, but…” Kevon smiled. “We welcome your friendship even more.”

“We’ll recruit a band of hunters for each of your ships before you leave,” Aelion announced.
