We find ourselves back with Salix at dinner with the other captured sacrifices. They offer to help and exchange stories of their origins and why they would be sought after by the Web of Fate. They explain that they are a priestess or reincarnation of the Daughter of the Void and go into detail about what she looks like. Back on the airship, Galahad informs the party about what the Tailor said, and they start to strategize a plan of attack. In their lapse of judgment, they suspect Alternate Salix is right outside the room where they are discussing plans. A brief and tense pause later, Zechs’ Hunter’s Mark drops, and immediately the team searches every crevice of the ship to no avail. Alternate Salix is gone and left a very taunting message in their room. Zechs informs his parents about EVERYTHING that’s been going on with Alternate Salix and Malar, and eventually makes plans to send them back home to Nymora. Glad uses Sending to relay to The Journeyman all that has transpired, but the spell is not received at all. The group, suddenly worried that they were captured again, asked if she could contact Chico or Welby. She reaches out to Welby, who, in the most horrific, pained voice, says, “Make it stop.” The group is at a loss for what to do and spends the next few days of their journey in quiet contemplation and preparation for what’s to come. Finally, in the Heartwood proper, after using Speak With Plants again to communicate with Amina, they arrive at the base of the massive tree and begin to make their way inside to speak with her. There’s so much happening, and that’s where we pick up…
