[color=C5F0EC][I]Breathe.[/I][/color] It was a simple command, but Faye was finding it difficult to accomplish ever since last night's events. She felt like there was a heavy weight on her chest and every breath she took was painful. She felt ill to her stomach and wondered if she was going to throw up again. Her eyes were bloodshot and puffy, but no more tears fell. She was fairly positive her body was all out of them. She'd expelled all of them last night after watching Echo die and through the night. Unfortunately she didn't get much sleep through the night and sleep wasn't about to take her any time soon.

What was she to do now? Go back to the River Kingdom with war on the horizon? Did she just let Echo's death go? Could she? Another wave of pain hit her and she sucked in a sharp breath, holding it as she closed her eyes trying to will it all away. She lay there on the floor of a room in Wumong's monastery where she "slept" the night before. She didn't even feel the hardness of the ground as her limbs felt numb. Was he really gone?

Slowly she pushed herself off the ground. She had to do something, she needed to find people who opposed the Dark Elves. How was she supposed to do that, though? She knew one person who had been involved with the resistance in the past, but the thought terrified her. [color=C5F0EC][I]No. You need to find him. It's for Echo.[/I][/color] She took a shuddering breath as she slowly left the room to find Wumong. 

When he would see her she didn't look well. Her hair was unkempt and ratted. Her dress was disheveled and her eyes had dark circles under them on top of being red and swollen.

Wumong was cross-legged in his meditation room, eyes closed, when he heard steps coming from behind him. The red-furred monkey was in navy blue pants with a part of a tiger pelt wrapped around his waist. He also adorned beautifully crafted red and gold bracers on his wrists; his quarterstaff sat just in front of him. The wood room around him was quite empty aside from the scent of rose incense burning on a pedestal at the front of the room. He had been there for quite some time now. 

[color=aba000]“Dear, I can tell by your footing that you are not well,”[/color] He spoke quietly before he stood up. He stood up slowly using his staff to pull himself up, he turned around with sad brown eyes to see the sorrowful fairy walking towards him. He knew this was not a time to play and joke but a time to provide support. [color=aba000]“Listen dear, you will get through this. I have felt the pain of being hopeless and lost but such are the never ending tides of life. Things come and things pass.”[/color] He walked toward Faye placing his hand on her shoulder. [color=aba000]“I will help in any way I can, you need but ask.”[/color] He said, smiling towards her.

Faye forced a small smile on her face, truly grateful for his words of kindness. She felt bad that he was having to see her at one of her lowest points. [color=C5F0EC]"Thank you, my friend. Your words truly help."[/color] Her voice was scratchy and hoarse which made her wince slightly. She swallowed, trying to help her voice be back to normal. [color=C5F0EC]"I think I want to find Helio."[/color] Her voice faltered a little as she said the dark fairy's name, but she continued onwards. [color=C5F0EC]"I think I want to help the resistance, but the only way I know how to find them is through Helio."[/color]

Wumong’s eyes widened at the mention of his old student; he had heard the dark path the fairy had taken and what he had done to Faye. He was intrigued why she would look to him for answers, even if he knew something about any resistance who knew where in Avalia he would be. Wumong was lost with no leads. It would be a hard task to follow. [color=aba000]“Well dear, if that is truly the path you would like to follow, would you have any idea to help guide our way?”[/color] He questioned, raising a brow in her direction. 

Faye slowly nodded as she remembered a friend of Helio's. [color=C5F0EC]"We'd need to go to Roshmi and seek out a man named Bastian. They were best friends and he'd likely know where Helio is at. He may even be there with him honestly."[/color] She informed him as she bit her lip.

Wumong pondered a moment thinking about it before he abruptly spoke. [color=aba000]“Hmm… Well I suppose we shall get ready. I will pack things we need and meet you out front after I let the students and other practitioners know I will be away until further notice. You should get yourself washed up in the springs behind the monastery and put on some clean clothes. It will be a fair bit of travel.”[/color] Faye listened to Wumong as he spoke then suddenly threw her arms around him in a hug.

[color=C5F0EC]"Thank you."[/color] She said before letting him go and doing as he said. She soon was flying out to spring to wash up and change into her clean clothing.
