The Greatwood is our best hope, Hadama agreed solemnly. Along with the Climb. I have learned from Safrin that fighting alone is not enough. We must cleanse the ground we take, or we will lose it the moment we retreat to heal. Simply challenging the false island would neither weaken the Family nor seriously impede the Void, as the promethean invaders would simply ooze back into the cracks such an undertaking left, erasing them the moment the defenders returned to their homes.
The hippocampus listened with grave relief to the good news from Halo and dipped his head in agreement. Let me know if I can assist. The healing springs help us all. He began to swim alongside his friend, using his water magic to gently soak the young plants that needed a little extra assistance. He did not have feet, restless or otherwise, but his flukes moved with slow deliberation to maintain a stately pace. The Forsaken's statement drew a pulse of understanding from the Tidebreaker, and a moment of silence as they contemplated the task ahead.
As will I, he confirmed quietly through the Bond at length. Soon. He could not yet know the Wyrm that would await them, or the struggle within the earth, but he did not need foresight to sense the challenge ahead of them all. I have spoken with Sah. Once he ensures the safety of his children, I believe he will join us. Another pause, and then the slow admission of what was truly slowing them down. If another flower can be found, first. A task Noah was already undertaking.
A task Hadama had already completed, but his flower was bespoke to a 'spa day' with Deimos and Sunjata a few days in the future.
