Avar was still cautious, but trusted that the stranger probably didn’t want to hurt her for the time being.
“I…I was going to Worshiper’s Hill,” she replied tentatively, pointing toward the tall hill in the distance.

"I see. Do you want a travel companion?" Cammie had never been that far from the Fae Inn. She had crashed through the ceiling during dinner service and had worked to pay it off. She did such a good job, she was allowed to continue after her debt was paid off for half-wage and a place to stay.

Avar thought for a moment, and shook her head, her wings unfurling themselves from her arms. She glided gently along the smooth path, not even touching the ground. Her wings didn’t seem to be holding her up, though, and her robe covered where her feet should be.

"Well, okay then." Cammie turned to walk away.

When Avar was out of sight, Cammie called to her raven.
"Follow that Fae."

Avar glided up the hill, reaching the top quickly. At the top was a large clearing, a glittering white stone in the center. Avar knelt by the stone, her hands in her lap, closed her black pits of eyes, and began muttering in a strange language, her head bowed.

The raven flew overhead, marking the spot for Cammie. She quietly made her way to the clearing.

Daniel finally woke up from the short nap he took. He looked out the cave and saw Avar at the Worshiper’s Hill. He stretched a little as his body burned with flames. His clothes returned to his body. He then proceeded to fly silently towards Avar without her knowing.

Cammie was nearly to the clearing.

Avar smiled as she muttered the words, a sense of peace and calm flooding over her.

Cammie had reached the clearing. Her raven floated down near her as Cammie stood behind a tree.

Avar opened her eyes, almost daring to touch the glittering white stone in front of her, but once more held back, her pure white hands hovering uncertainly.

Cammie watched silently.

“That’s beautiful…” Daniel whispered to himself.

Avar’s head bolted up. The hilltop was very quiet, so Daniel’s whisper traveled easily to her ears. She looked around and saw both Daniel and Cammie, and rose up, an angry expression on her face.
“How dare you come here and defile the Goddess’s sacred clearing?” Avar shouts, pale, icy blue magic swirling around her hands as she channeled a spell.

"Shit." Cammie turned to run.

“Oh sh—“ Daniel quickly bursted himself into flames just to escape. He appeared again in the cave he was in, not burnt and not bruised.

Avar blasted icy shards at Cammie, trapping her in an impenetrable dome of ice.

Cammie's eyes darted around. She was trying to see Avar.

Daniel looked out of the cave and saw Cammie’s frozen body. His body bursted once again, this time appearing in front of Cammie. Instead of helping her immediately, he asked “Want some help?”

Avar casted another spell covering the dome in one last layer of frost, then spread her wings, flying down as fast as she could to the nearest Fae dome.
