“Oy, Oeilvert!” A voice called, cutting through the pain. “You dead?” “Not yet.” Oeilvert grumbled, rolling over and squinting as the sunshine piercing through the forest canopy peppered her eyes like visions of angels dancing above.

Day Four – Desiccated Souls Squeaking by on whatever scraps of food they could scavenge on the trail, and down to Grane’s single canteen between the pair, the huntress and her young companion pushed deeper and deeper west.

Day Three – Human Accompanied by the young Rock, Grane pushed ever westward.
