He climbed up higher to the branch Marigold was at and squinted his eyes ahead. Sure enough, it seemed that they might reach the forest the very next day! "Great! Hopefully we're one step closer to our clan," Rhuned replied, his heart aching a little from being home-sick. Marigold nodded eagerly.

Cocking her head, she looked curiously at the item. A red cape? Yes, more specifically a crimson rogue cape. She snuggled herself under the cape happily. [i]Ooh, comfy![/i]

In fact, today she turned into an adult! She was beyond the moon that she could finally join the Pinkerlocke army and fight against approaching beasts. Well, not that she was not doing so before.

How did they even get blown away? And why is their location marked outside the map?? Could this map really be trusted? How would the clan know where they were if their location was totally unknown? After all, who would be so dumb to trust a raven...[/i] [size=1]Note: Selena died today, but for the story's sake she's still alive. But she'll be sent out of my clan today.[/size]

Once night fell, he took out the map and inspected it once again. [i]Hmm, the handwriting does look familiar...[/i] "Hey Marigold, I think we've been thinking the same thing. Could you read out the letter again? Maybe we're missing something?" Rhuned asked. But Marigold simply put the letter aside. "Tomorrow, before we set off. My eyes are tired from squinting at the tiny words," he replied, lying down to sleep.
