Seeing Learin getting so excited, only one thing came to Riu's mind:<span style="font-style: italic">Have we stumbled upon a spirit?</span>Communing with spirits was the mission they were on, after all. What else could he be so excited about? Especially when his excitement was prefaced by Sigrun hearing strange voices. However, they were supposed to go to the Calleran Islands to find the spirit of fire. Learin's over enthusiastic response and proclamation that he<span style="font-style: italic">must</span>have it lead the boy to a sudden insight.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">It isn't just one spirit. We're only going to the Calleran Islands because we presume one to be there. The locations of others might yet be unknown. In the event that we have to find them all before returning, happening upon one here would be an enormous blessing. The sooner we deal with this, the sooner I get to Neravas!</span><br/><br/>By now, a look of anticipation was on the boy's face too. Looking around, everyone seemed ready to go besides Larea, who seemed a bit baffled. (Naturally, Sigrun was expressionless, but she would naturally follow.) Not willing to let anything slow them down, Riu took the mute woman's hand and pulled her up. "Let's go quickly!" he said. After that bit of encouragement, the boy ran to Sigrun's side. "We will run ahead and retrieve Mr. Ethail's things, then meet him here half way," the boy commanded enthusiastically, pulling Sigrun to run beside him. They soon met and passed Ahmaht, who was simply walking. For some reason, it could be noticed that the boy was running even faster than he had when chasing the thief, easily keeping Learin's pace from earlier. This time it was something important!
