"I think I might. When it comes to knowing terrain, locations, and landmarks I'm you're guy. At least for Garudenma. Which is good news because it's in the same direction as Nix's house. She was the one I was telling you about that could help us find your thief, Aurion. She knows people as well as I know the land. Together we make the perfect duo. It's rather fortunate that we met her like this. However, unfortunately she has amnesia." Gale cast a look of concern and sorrow at Nix. It was bad enough that she was blind, but now she had amnesia as well. He began to wonder what kind of life she led since her departure. He wished he had been there for her, to comfort her. Did she spend all this time alone?<br/>"Anyways this tunnel is a shortcut."<br/>Gale got to his feet and went to the base of the holly bush. He dug the toe of his boot into the earth. The soil gave way to wood as he uncovered the top of a barrel buried near to the entrance to the tunnel.<br/>"We need light, so let there be light." He bent down and squeezed his fingers under the tight lid, pulling back the wooden flap and reaching in.<br/>"Sorry, Nix, there are only two lamps in here. Never mind, you don't really need light to--" He stopped himself before he finished his sentence, but had a feeling he had said too much already. He set the wick and fired the tinderbox that he had found in the very bottom of the barrel. The forest was lit with a brilliant amber light from the storm lamps.
