Running through the woods, making every twist and turn with second nature, it did not take long for Umi to return to the base camp.<br/><br/>And find it devoid of life.<br/><br/>Her friends, her fellow fighters and spellcasters, were all gone.  Their belongings were left behind, and there was no trace of where they had gone.  Not even a bird fluttered in the treelimbs above, no insect crawled across the dirt below.<br/><br/>There was only a parchment nailed to a post in the center of the camp.
