Andi ducked into the trees, avoiding yet another Nocturnian patrol. Too much time had passed without hearing from Grega and Terka, so Andi had decided to find them herself. The Nocturnian Patrols were slowing her down a bit though, as she decided to avoid them. If they saw her it probably wouldn't be too big of a problem, but they'd likely tell her to turn back. Andi was confident she could beat an average patrol if she had too, but there was no reason to when they could be avoided.
Andi came across a large stream with a tree that fell across it, making a natural bridge. Several rabbits and other small animals were on the other side, drinking water and foraging for food. Andi hopped up on the log and made her way across. The small animals on the other side scattered. "I'm sorry little guys," Andi said. "I was just trying to get across. Didn't mean to scare you like that."

On the other side of the river, a hand reached up to a nest of Songbirds, dropping a handful of berries in the mouth of the mother bird. A girl's head then raised slowly up to it, peeking in. She had light brown hair tied up into long pony tails. She smiled gently, watching the mother bird feed her babies. "You make a magnificent parent." she praised the bird as it chirped a thanks in return.
Desiel hopped down from the tree, looking around. She heard feint voices across the river. It was the creatures on the other side, calling out to her. "We have a visitor..." Desiel interpreted it as.
"...oh?" she responded with a bright eyed, curious look as she gazed over to the other side, spotting Andi further down. She walked out onto the open, standing on a rocky platform holding itself over the edge. A pair of Coonlings followed her, stopping by her feet, joining in watching Andi cross the stream.

Andi had a sense she was being watched. "Nocturnians?" she thought to herself. She looked around quickly then spotted Desiel. "Whew," Andi said. "I thought a Nocturnian patrol saw me for a second there." Andi hopped off the log. "Hope I'm not intruding," she called out to Desiel.

"Andi... what brings you here?" Desiel asked, approaching Andi. "Though I'd be guessing it's something about these Nocturnian patrols..."

"Yeah," Andi said, walking closer to Desiel. "My two teammates, Grega and Terka, were escorting our client's daughter to Oroeth to try to stop the Nocturnians. I haven't heard from them since though. I'm worried something happened to them."

"I see... I haven't been to Oroeth for a few days now, sorry." Desiel responded. "Though if you want, I can help you track them down."

"Thanks a lot Desiel," Andi replied. "I really appreciate your help. I just hope Grega and Terka are ok and they managed to keep Asina's daughter safe."

"...Asina?" Desiel asked curiously.

"Oh, that's my client, Asina Razra," Andi replied. "She's from a town called New Keshmar. It's hidden in a cave to keep the Nocturnians from finding it. We were supposed to escort a food shipment back there, but then a lot things came up and Grega and Terka went with her daughter Kaori to Oroeth."

Desiel's heart felt like it stopped that instant. She backed up a couple steps, then fell bottom-first to the ground. The blank stare of shock filled her face as the words Andi spoke were filling her head with memories.
