The rabbit that had been looking over the group as they started to depart from the flames had come crashing to the ground with such force that it could be heard over the raging inferno that Simon had accidentally caused. Simon was going to grab him and demand to get some straight answers out of him when he absolutely bolted without saying a word to anyone, not even Anise. Which made Simon extremely curious since he was attached to her side grovelling like a child moments earlier until now but when he looked in the direction that the rabbit had been looking he didn't see anything but flames. They had been there the whole time so it wouldn't make sense as to why it spooked Tyaelaem. To be honest nothing that he said made sense to Simon anyway. He also wanted to laugh at Anise because the rabbit was ohhh so faithful to her and getting her home but since she was still the possessor of a large sword he thought it would be against his best interests. 

Simon had been following the group on the way up the hill and away from the flames when he could hear a voice that sounded familiar to Simon. He hasn't heard that in years since her accident but there no mistake that it was his sister, he knew this for two reasons; the first was because of her soft still youthful voice but the most obvious was the phrase "lonely boy". His sister would frequently call him that because no matter how many people were occupying the same space as her brother he would often look alone. Simon couldn't pinpoint the location of the voice at first over the flames around him but he noticed a spot that looked different from what he expected to see at the moment. There was a small gully that had a very tranquil feeling even though the current situation that they were in and it really wasn't something that he could ignore either. 

Simon made an executive decision to himself that he was going into the gully without notifying since he was behind everyone else and it was his own personal matter. He couldn't rest knowing that he hear his sister in this bleak place. When Simon entered the gully he couldn't see any human life forms or anything that would emulate his sisters voice but it was a very relaxing place to be. It took his mind away from that hated rabbit, stubborn princess or coward lantern wielder. At the moment he didn't even care that the forest was burning down. That was when something popped into Simons head thinking about what the rabbit said about soothsayer summoning spirits. What if this was something of the case and the only way to see or communicate with his dearly departed sister. Simon looked down at the flower and picked up a whole one while thinking of something in his head. The previous experience he had was only one leaf what happened if he used a whole flower instead. 

This was right when something else caught Simons eye, he had noticed that there was some more trees like they had seen back at the healing spring, similar to one that Simon had picked up that was Talans. Instead of using one that had already been claimed by someone else Simon would figure that he would just take one for himself and return the wolf to Talan. Simon walked over to the tree with the fox attached to it, in the back of his mind it had been picked because he figured if the fact that if he needed to pick an animal spirit or something to defeat a Kith he figured that a fox would be the best option out of the three to beat a rabbit. 

Simon had a bad gut feeling about carrying two of these masks at one time but he knew that it would only be temporarily until he seen Talan again then it would only be one mask. That put his mind at ease again when he went back over to the flower, now the he had paid attention to the mask he could focus on the task that was at hand. Simon placed the torch in his right hand and picked up a flower with his left hand. He gripped the handle of the torch firmly not wanting to drop any aspect in case something messed up since he didn't want to ruin the tranquility of this beautiful gully. Simon took the whole flower and placed it directly into the base of the torches flame.

"Hello, can you hear me! I can't see you yet but I can hear you. I don't want to be alone anymore!" Simon whispered quietly in the gully.
