Helikaon has been going through our bags to make sure we travel as lightly as possible. And for a few moments I thought he had taken out the stack of poems Loreas had given me. I panicked but all is good now, they were there... I hope Helikaon doesn’t take offence, I may have shouted at him.
We’re travelling to the Falls and are going through the wilderness. Not really my terrain but I think Slippy may help us navigate. This whole situation just reminds me of the Old Woods, but hopefully whatever enemies we face here won’t be Lutheria’s minions.
Messages to Loreas (from the trip from Mytros to the Sour Vintage)
Every day of travel Alke has been asking Calliope to send a message to Loreas every day:
Day 1: Alke says: The path north brought back memories of more peaceful times. The woods remind me of how much I miss you already.
Day 2: I hope you’ve made it to Estoria or, even, safely to the Mines. I fell asleep reading your poems last night.
Day 3: A small vole came up to me today. It was really sweet, but a bit apprehensive at the sight of Slippy. I miss you!
