Spots walked straight to the tall wooden bookcase. The bookcase had been beautiful and impressive the first time she was there, but now the tall lavish cabinet would fill her with amazement but also dread. The case was black polished wood with black stained glass in-between the planks. The...

"I was wondering how long you would scratch your head before asking for help." The old crackly voice of Spots came from above Ilarias head. Spots had been lounging on a shelf just above the door frame, the shelf was just deep enouph and had a divot in the middle that made it an ideal...

Once Chris was done with breakfast he stayed at the table a while longer and had a couple cups of coffee. Figuring that he and probably Ilaria wouldn't mind some time apart, after all, It's not like she can get lost in a forest where literally every tree can give you directions. Seth ran his...

It was still a few hours before Chris awoke, and when he did he glanced around lazily, noticing that Ilaria had already left for the morning. He tapped the top of the hammock and the willow gently set him down, "Thank you for the bed." Chris said as he stood up. Seeing Chris wake up, Rex stood...

Chris too lay awake for a while as well, but stayed silent and eventually went to sleep. He was not awake when Ilaria whispered his name, Chris always slept hard when he was in the Grove, because of how safe it was. The willow would wake him up if something happened, or if he was going to miss...

Chris had started to drift again, but his eyes opened as he pondered what she said, "I don't really know. Haven't thought about it much, and there wasn't much on the warriors origin in all those books we read." Chris rolled over to face Ilaria and continued, "Seth would know more, or we could...

Chris was already dosing but his eyes opened again when Ilaria spoke. He thought for a short moment before answering, "I'm sure its a mixture of feelings for him. On one hand he probably has some good memories here, and he most definitely is stronger." Chris paused then added, "On the other hand...

The clearing that surrounded the Mother Tree had only minorly been influenced by the presence of the Sea Shard. It looked very similar to the time it did when Elmmriss last stood before the towering tree. There were many small dryads milling about the clearing and hanging from bigger trees. It...

They walked back to the small willow in silence, and once there Rex laid down at the base of the tree and yawned. Chris knelt down beside him and rubbed behind his ears for a moment before collecting his bag and sorting through his clothes to find something more comfy to sleep in. He had a white...

Chris was hopeful but not very optimistic as he listened to their conversation. His suspicions were confirmed when the Sea Shard gave no solution to their problem. Chris waited until Ilaria was done and followed her out the same path that they came in, Rex followed closely. "Well that didn't go...

Chris only nodded at the man who appeared to let him out of whatever trap he stepped in. The experience humbled him just a bit, knowing that with a flick of that old mans hand he would be powerless and stuck. Chris followed Ilaria into the ocean bowl towards the center flower, he smiled when he...

Chris fixed himself a quick cup of coffee and followed Ilaria outside. By now it was starting to get dark and the normal orange glow of the plants was now mixed with the blue glow of the water surrounding them. They walked slowly taking in the new sights, Chris was content to let Ilaria walk in...

Seth looked at Ilaria with questioning eyes, but simply smiled and nodded, "That's up to her now. She returned the willows guarding her pool to our service. Seems that she has her own guards now." Seth nodded to the three of them in their little group and slowly walked away. Spots met him at the...

When they got to the great hall dinner was being cleaned up. Allot of the people had left and those that were still around were having a few drinks and toasting their victory. As they walked in Rex slipped around the side and up into the rafters and found a place to lay down and have a bite to...

Seth had arrived at the Grove with the rest of the group and headed straight for a small clearing towards the center of the grove, with a dryad following him carrying the Golam heart. Even though he was in a hurry to put the Earth shard in an appropriate spot he simply had to slow his walk and...

Chris gave her a worried glance when she dismissed the topic, but they could see the road sign for the fast fight stop, so Chris didn't press the subject. He pulled around back into one of the parking spots under the awning and got out and let Rex out. He collected his things from the trunk and...

Chris just drove on in silence, knowing that he should be worried but not known why. They were about 5 minutes away from the fast fight post when Chris broke his silence and asked, "What do you mean by, he I bad news?"

Chris drove in sience, trying to eavesdrop on the pone call with no success. He finished off his sandwich and started in on his chips while waiting for Ilaria to finish up on the phone. "Everything okay?" he asked once she hung up.

Chris accepted his coffee with a smile and paid for the food laving a generous tip. "Thanks Beth, got to run though." Chris turned to leave sence Ilaria had already collected the food. When he got to the door he called back, "Come on Rex, you've already had one." Rex had been sitting in his spot...

Rex who had been sleeping in the grass stood and yawned while he stretched, before trotting over to the back door where Chris let him in. Once Ilaria was in Chris pulled away and drove out away from town. About a half a mile from town was Dolly's Diner, as well as a Shell gas station, both right...
