The woods were deadly, dark, and deep.
But at the moment Tal didn't have a better idea for where Sohalia might have been taken. Or, well, he did, but there was no way he was ready to take on Starfall on his own!
So instead he made forays into the void-infested Greatwood when he was traveling between Halo and the Hollowed Grounds. Several areas had been marked off on his map already, and he'd planned today's scouting for the Mathair, the long-suffering goddess at the Greatwood's heart.
"I wish more o' th'void shit would hibernate in Deepfrost," he grumbled as he and Maea padded around the edge of the clearing barely under the Mathair's vast branches. Purple vines pulsed and twisted sluggishly in dark curtains from most of the trees around them, and unsettling gurgling came from the corrupted waters farther away. His Goggles were firmly on Tal's eyes in spite of the wan light that filtered down through the bare, snowy boughs above, and his Dagger was in his hand, out and ready. "Lemme know if y'see any footprints or... I dunno. Fabric caught on bushes or something?"
