It had been a while since Fleuri had visited Cae Mayl.  Not since shortly before he had joined the Roses, in fact.

The shrine was just as beautifully serene as he remembered.  It showed no sign of desecration or vandalism, and according to Tyaethe, there was no whiff of corruption.  If they weren't on such a dire mission, he'd be tempted to stay and pray for a bit.

Even if Tyaethe didn't sense any corruption, if the evidence that they pulled from the fort was any indication, there may be some evidence of someone having gone here, a trail that had not yet gone cold.  Another possibility was that since corpse that contained the location had not lived to come to this location, perhaps their contact or contacts might still be lurking about, waiting nearby for their agent to arrive.

Fleuri had no magic and no skill at tracking, so the most he could do for now was to keep watch of the surrounding area and utter a silent prayer to Mayon.

...and guide our captain that she may lead the order according to your will...[/i][/color]
