From being an Abandoned who had rarely left the Hollowed Grounds, to embracing the call of adventure, to dying and being reborn first as an Ascended and then as an Ancient, Maea has gone through quite the amount of changes in her life. One thing remains common, though, in her attempts to find out just where she belongs; she’s always had a craving for knowledge which has brought her to so many places and to meet so many people here in Caido. We can’t wait to see what else is in store for her!
Congratulations, Maea!

Evie
My days end best when this sunset gets itself Behind that little lady sitting passenger side
Evie chooses the Citadel shrine as it's by far the easiest for anyone who desires to attend the quest turn in with her and Deimos to arrive at. She comes bearing a small, personal-size pie made from local winterberries harvested in the Greenwing and a lovingly cleaned and painted bird school that the artisan she'd purchased it from had painted spring flowers onto. Flicking her long ginger braid over her shoulder, Evie spares a warm smile for Deimos at her side as she arranges her offerings just so.
"We did you as asked Frey. Thank you for giving us this opportunity." Though the journeying task had been quite arduous, all of the requirements had gone rather smoothly (one in particular delightfully so, and the memory makes her cheeks slowly pink). For that, Evie is grateful.

Quest obtained here: the earth that feels the pulse
Tasks. There is no time limit. There are currently 12 active Halovians. This means 6 unique characters have to participate. Characters can participate more than once. Deimos and Evie must participate in at least 2 threads each. Noah must participate in at least 1 thread.
* - A PQ of 4 (or more) Halovians going to Hak Etme to gather the bones of dead animals, King's End to collect morning dew from flowers and the Oerwoud to collect blushberries. The thread will be split each time they enter into a new land.
- Hak Etme: {PQ} {RQ} absence of green
- King's End: {PQ} {split} {RQ} absence of green
- Oerwoud: {PQ} {split} {RQ} absence of green
* - A thread of 3 Halovians visiting the Labyrinth in the Hollowed Grounds and bringing back a significant amount of Efas Herb with them.
- {RQ} something in the water
* - THREE threads of those with healing magic, or other light-based magic purifying the hotsprings and the surrounding area.
- Evie and Deimos: {RQ} this kind of freedom
- Hotaru and Noah: {RQ} Fiction Crystallized
- Deimos and Hotaru: {RQ} between the cracks

DEIMOS
The sound of iron shots is stuck in my head The thunder of the drums dictates
The Sword’s smile was a proud one as they came towards the Citadel shrine, gifts, offerings, and portions of requirements amidst his bag of holding. Halo had accomplished another bounty of tasks, and with it, they’d be able to heighten the potential, the power, of the springs residing within the Fangs. Another way to appease and ease the hardy, stalwart community.
Taking his place beside the Evergreen, and bowing his head, Deimos laid out a variety of fruits produced from their own greenhouse, amidst some cream, and then the assorted essentials from their quests: the piles of efas herbs, blushberries, vials and jars of morning dew, and the bones of aimals from Hak Etme. Granting a wink to Evie out of the corner of his eye, he waited for her to proceed, before his own deep rumble indulged accordingly. “Halo remains eternally grateful.”
The rhythm of the falls, the number of dead The rising of the horns, ahead
Frey appears like a breath of warm air across the shrine - a breath not unlike the hotsprings that Halo has worked so hard on. As they materialise, smelling of honeysuckle and blushberries, skin golden, hands spread in welcome, the resources Evie and Deimos have gathered seem to dissolve away, though there is a sense that they've gone somewhere. (And if the waters of the hotsprings smell faintly of Efas herb after this, what of it?)
"You have done so well, my sugarplums. I am sure Halo shall thrive with such attentive Wardens." Clapping their hands together, the air seems to ring as if with the chime of a bell, and though the Fangs are some distance away, still, it will echo out there as well.
Halo has completed its RQ and has received the following upgrade!
The open air hotsprings in the Fangs possesses Mastered-Level healing waters. If bottled, this water can be used to heal while in Halo. Once removed from Halo's borders, it becomes regular water.
This will be added to the description of the Fangs.

Frey's appearance is always a delight, one that makes Evie's chest swell with girlish emotion an Abandoned will never outgrow. Even if this moment isn't about her alone, Frey's compliment is targeted to the two of them, and she couldn't ask for anything more moving to hear in this moment.
Watching the items dissolve away and hearing the chime of the bell as all their work is put into place, Evie looks up into Frey's face and beams like the sun breaking over the bay. "Thank you, Frey. We will do all we can to ensure Halo's stability in your realm." Bringing back balance that Eirachi had disrupted for so long. Healing - just as the springs will now be able to.
- Fin!
