With everyone else gathered and ready (and no one else making a move) Zel lead the group out of the inn and toward the path to the lake. Unlike most of the time when they traveled in silence, this time he had something to say. "I was thinking," Zel started. "If our guide fails to arrive again today, Larea and I decided to still go to the forest."<br/><br/>After sharing that bit of information, he looked over his shoulder at Ahmaht. "If I remember correctly, the other day you mentioned seeing something like a fire off in the distance? If you can remember approximately where it came from, that may very well be our destination." After voicing what he had intended to, Zel gave pause to wait for his answer.
