Orehalore was dead. I couldn't quite grasp it, but knew I had to help Chloe with Woveshancor if I could. Quintillian was sitting by Oreshalore's head; I said the traditional condolences, then went to Woveshancor. I was able to help.
Eevolertu returned, and talked with Quintillian about Oreshalore's body.
I knew that one of the ways Elix bodies can be released into the trees, letting her bones return to her family. And if a group of Elix went into the trees, it's easier to keep focus.
Eevolertu said that the winter shrine is rubble, and the time shrine is a shadow in the shrine's shape. Chloe asked if he wanted to shine a light on that. We talked about how to do that while not breaking our blessing.
The closest trees are about a quarter mile away, perhaps an hour away, down. Eevolertu took the lantern to throw on the shrine while the rest of us headed for the trees. There was a weird *hitch* in time. We kept on after that. Eevolertu came over the ridge, and seemed to be moving a bit strangely, slower than I would have expected. The snow wasn't falling at the right rate under his feet, either. He seemed to be under a time effect. The wind around him was strangely slow. It seemed like a wave of whatever the time effect was was coming down towards us. None of us wanted to be caught; we wouldn't be as fast as Eevolertu in his large state, and even he was slowed.
We made it to the trees. There was a snap that yanked through, and the snow went backward momentarily. There was a thunderclap back up the mountain, and it seemed like the wave was broken up, though there were eddies of the time effect left.
Three of us weren't up for three hours of running back. Discussion of whether going through the trees is feasible for at least some of us or not.
Eevolertu started to talk about that, and I pointed out that we should put Oreshalore into the trees to return to her family. My focus for that was not just the usual ritual, but whatever Quintillian needed to help her.
I spoke first, about he silver city beyond the wood, Vueleshaharon Chacalathur, through the All-wood, on the other side, how Oreshalore's journey should be an easy one, and that we should meet again there. Chloe spoke about the how we've learned from Oreshalore. Eevolertu spoke about her light-hearted spirit and humor under stress, and he will look forward to enjoying that again in the silver city. Quintillian spoke after a moment, about Oreshalore's bold foolish heroic death, in saving us all, about saving us all, and how her story will live on. And then we put her into the woods, to be taken to the silver city.
We rested for half an hour, then managed to travel back to the valley, though I was wholly tired out when we arrived.
