The Child

As suspected, it was a child, a young girl. Islana assumed the girl must be on the pilgrimage. Why else would she be out here alone?

Skara... the words returned to her, once again.

"Find my sister, if you are worthy. Follow the trail. Beyond the burning trees past where the Skara dwell...Find Yther. Or don't…"

Did this put Islana closer to finding Yther? Did the young girl also know the significance of the creature? Islana didn't know if Viher spoke to everyone on the pilgrimage or just some people.

Was it possible that Skara was what had made those tracks? It wasn't like the redhead had any idea what one looked like.

Crouching down near the girl, remaining very quiet, Islana peeked very carefully to see if the creature could be spotted. Her bow and magik were ready to go, hopefully one would keep the girl and the woman both safe.
