"How far is it?"

Permalink

"I do not actually know its exact location. Likely at least a hundred miles in from where the Pelagirs begin, though. Perhaps a leshya'e could have someone Gate out to retrieve you." 

Permalink

"And how far is the border?"

Permalink

"Over a hundred miles, on the other side of the mountains, but one of my mages can transport you to nearby. As long as they scry the site first and do not cross, it ought be safe enough even if the Star-Eyed's people would attempt offensive action against my people." Pause. "It might be better to tell the leshya'e that you wish to heal anyone at any Vale who was seriously injured and evacuated, since I do not think Demonsbane's dream with me is known by his friends and I do not wish to cause difficulties for him."

"I can be circumspect about that."

Permalink

Nod. "I would appreciate if you are willing to do this. One hopes that so will the Tayledras affected, though I am unsure how they feel about - well, all of this." 

Permalink

"They let me heal the ones who were here." Shrug. "I want to plant these and get them sprouted and then I'll be ready to go."

Permalink

"Yes, of course. Just alert me when you are ready and I will have someone transport you to the edge of the Pelagirs."

She gets her raspberries started and packs enough food for a while and comes back.

Permalink

And a mage can be assigned to Gate her out to an anonymous spot in some dense forest. 

Permalink

"Which way do I go?"

Permalink

They’re just east of the boundary with the Pelagirs and the mage points out which way is west.

Permalink

She flies west till she sees some kind of indication that there's a border between different environments.

Permalink

It’s not a sharp line, but over about a mile, the forest changes drastically. The trees become twisted and strange. Some have faintly glowing flowers. 

Permalink

Ooh, glowing flowers. She lands near some glowing flowers and calls the nickname the leshya'e gave her in case that works.

Permalink

It does! The leshya'e Kal'enedral appears, slowly, fading fully into view but still not quite solid. "Yes?" Her voice still sounds like it's coming from the bottom of a well. 

Permalink

"Hello. I'd like to travel to the Vales from which the incursion was drawn to heal the injured there. Is this agreeable?"

Permalink

Piercing blue eyes stare at her over the veil concealing the leshya's face. "I will need to consult with the Vales in question. Can you wait here." 

Permalink

"Yes."

Permalink

"I will be back soon, then." And the leshya'e vanishes.

Somewhere nearby, two birds - presumably they're birds, at least - start calling back and forth. They sound disconcerting like not-quite-comprehensible human voices. 

Permalink

Promise does not really think highly of birds but she tolerates it. Inspects the glowing flowers.

Permalink

Some minutes later, the leshya'e fades back into view. "The worst injured are at k'Treva Vale and they will accept your aid. There ought shortly be a Gate to nearby." 

Permalink

"Thank you. Can I take a few of these flowers on my way out?"

Permalink

"- Yes, of course. Though they may die if you pluck them." 

Permalink

"I'm pretty good with plant magic." She looks closely at the flowers so she'll be better able to keep them alive on the return journey.
