The Forest wasn't nearly as dark as it had been but for all that it had less darkness it was hard for him to see what was around him. As though in losing some of its darkness, some of its shadows, it had compensated by limiting his vision. Unease made his stomach lurch and then …

"Sheieh, what is wrong? Why are you calling again so soon?" He never thought he'd be relieved to hear the Anointed One's voice. As quickly as he could and still be coherent, he explained the current situation, giving as many details as he could which was little to nothing except information on Relyt's sudden shift …

It's safer for you, for us all, if you do," he whispered the words as he smoothed his hand through Relyt's hair and tucked the errant curls behind his ear, encouraging his mind to slip further into sleep and to forget. "Your Grace." Lílrt turned with …

The Grand Temple was quiet, almost eerily so, but given it was just after the stroke of midnight, it wasn't surprising.
