Forsythia continued to move among the villagers, offering guidance and advice, as well as teaching the younger ones about The Pure One's teachings. A typical day, a typical village, just as it always was. Eventually she started to glance towards the town entrance, they were taking longer than the year before, she hoped nothing had happened. She cleared her head, no, she couldn't think like that. They were fine, they had the best hunter with them, nothing bad would happen. Forsythia finally made her way back to The Pure One, this time moving to the inner sanctum, the place where she resided like those before her. Her own Alfort greeted her, "Hello Gatz, I missed you as well." she said, petting the animal. She sat on the ground, stroking the male's mane gently, "I'm worried, Gatz, they haven't returned yet. I hope nothing bad happened to them..." she said.
