Alys's quest was at an end. She made her way to Ludo's Woods, to the shrine that lay entombed there. It took her a few trips; she had brought all that Mort had asked for, and by the time she was finished, there were jars of water from Frey's Breath and the Eyes of Vi; snow - now melted - from where Sascha was killed; and, of course, the little ursur's body, wrapped in a linen shroud and laid reverently upon the ground before the shrine. The seer took a deep breath. She'd learned so much from her quest, and yet she couldn't shake the feeling that she wouldn't be whole - that her family wouldn't be whole - without Sascha at her side. Even if it was hard, even if there were challenges, she had to believe that her companion would choose to return to her. Alys sat before Sascha's body, cross-legged, and gazed up at the shrine. "Hi, Mort," she said, more at ease than the last time she had called upon the god of death. This time, she felt as though she were greeting an old friend. "I've done as you asked. I spoke with three people who have died and come back, and I learned something unique from each of them. I think I understand what you were trying to tell me - that coming back to life won't be easy for Sascha. But I think I've also learned that it might be worth it. "The people that I talked with all seemed grateful for a second chance at life, even if they struggled. It seemed like time back among the living seemed to make it... well, maybe not easier, exactly, but... Ronin and Maea seemed to be at ease with their transition. Zavien struggles more, I think, because it was so recent. So raw. I think I can help Sascha through any difficulties that she has adjusting. Or at least I can be there for her, the same way she was always there for me. "Anyway, I hope she wants to come back. I still won't force her, but if you're there, and she wants to... please let her return to me." --- Alys is turning in the quest received in took this dagger in me and removed it. 1.
