Linopha and her friends walked through the uncharted forest.
Rayla: Get down! Hide!
Rayla shoved Soren behind a rock, and Linopha pulled Callum and Ezran behind a tree.
A few earthblood elves flew by riding drakes.
Rayla: Those are the Riders of the Drakewood.
Linopha: That means we're in the right place.
Ezran: Maybe they can help us find the back door.
Rayla: I don't think so. The Riders are known for viciously protecting their turf from trespassers, and then throwing them into a hole called the Pit of Despair.
Callum: Okay. That sounds bad.
Rayla: Nothing else for it. You all stay here and out of sight. I'll go search for the entrance.
Soren: You can't just go off alone.
Rayla: Okay. Fine. Linopha and I will go look for the entrance!
Linopha: No, I'm staying.
Rayla: Then Callum and I will go look for the entrance?
Callum: No. I'll stay with Linopha and Ezran. Go with Soren.
Rayla: I suppose that works, too.
But Rayla looked kind of disappointed.
Ezran: Good luck guys! You'll find it in no time!
Soren: Let the adventure begin.
Soren and Rayla walked away, and Linopha, Callum, and Ezran sat down in a clearing by a log.
Callum: I'm gonna go search for firewood.
Callum went into the forest, and soon came back with a bundle of firewood.
Linopha immediately got to work building a fire.
Callum fetched more firewood to power the fire.
And then he went and got even more. Linopha could tell he was upset about something.
Ezran: Um, I think we've got enough firewood, Callum.
Callum: Huh? Oh. I'm sorry.
Linopha (thinking): I guess he zoned out.
Ezran: You look like you might have some big feelings.
Callum: This isn't a big feelings time. We've gotta stay alert. We don't know what's out there.
Ezran: You okay?
Callum: Yeah.
Linopha: What are you thinking about, Callum? I can tell you're upset.
Callum: I can't get it out of my head. Whenever I close my eyes I'm back in that moment. It was... awful.
Ezran: I'm sure when Rayla disappeared she didn't mean to make you feel like that.
Linopha (thinking): Idiot! That's obviously not what he's talking about!
Callum: No, not Rayla, I'm talking about Aaravos. You know, when he took over my whole body and used me like a puppet.
Linopha (thinking): It was that, or the blood ritual.
