Rebirth Decline 7 - Orb 4

[shorterinperson]

[ Alanna, having returned from her magical adventure in the Old City, sits in the tavern. ]

I have been here nearly a month. In that short time the moon shattered into a million pieces, a curse put half the girls in the village to sleep, a horrible beast threatened the town, and the thorns have started moving faster. On top of that, there have been two celebrations, neither of which ended particularly well. We've accomplished much, but we haven't made even a dent in the thorns.

I miss my husband, my children, my home. If we ever want to be free of this place, we need to focus on the matter at hand.

We need a plan.

Spy work. My husband's specialty, I never did get the hang of it. You talk to people, and watch, and wait, and... that sort of stuff.

[greatsquirrelhunter]

Faolan listens to people!

[shorterinperson]

Yes, but you aren't a trained spy.

[greatsquirrelhunter]

Faolan is 10. Not trained for anything. Just listen and tell.

[shorterinperson]

Precisely. We need people with training to look into this problem.

[greatsquirrelhunter]

If we don't have, what do?

[shorterinperson]

We do what we can, and we don't give up.

[greatsquirrelhunter]

Faolan won't give up! Will keep listening and tell Alanna!

[shorterinperson]

Thank you, Faolan. I can only pray it will be enough.
