Upon arriving on the settlement, Aenwyn took note of the overgrowth of vegetation. There wasn't a single soul in sight and the woods surrounding the village felt foreboding.
She lead her horse towards the stables and set down some of her belongings inside the town hall before heading back outside. She saw Tyr gazing towards the woods. Karl was sitting by on top of the stairs, also keeping watch. Evidently, he volunteered to take first watch with Tyr.
Aenwyn was between the two of them when she spoke "Both of you felt it too? There is something disquieting about these woods. I can't believe I'm saying this but after living nearly a century in these lands, this place feels...alien. You think any of the inhabitants left any clues behind as to their whereabouts?"

I'm ok with that. Shoot me a PM if you want a collab.
Maybe you can introduce him after? Our party is getting fairly big. Ultimately its TDT's decision though.
I think we are waiting on TDT?
Aenwym waited for Evelyn to reply to her theory but there was nothing. An uncomfortable silence filling the room growing by the minute. Finally Aenwyn spoke again.
"I'll leave you to your thoughts Lady Evelyn. Seeing as I am the only one who read the entries, I'll go and tell the others of what I've learned tomorrow. I'll leave the journal entries over here. Good night."
Aenwyn left the room and headed for her quarters. It was an exhausting day and there was so much to think about. So many more questions were raised than answered after reading the journals. Noticing that her window was open and that tonight was particularly chilly, Aenwyn went over to close them. She cast a gaze at the pale moon. It was partially obscured by the evening clouds.
"Blood moons huh?"
She closed the windows and laid down on her bed, quickly drifting into a dreamless sleep.
The next day after eating breakfast and gathering her belongings, she met with the others at the stables. Their horses were already awaiting. It was only a matter of waiting for everyone to arrive.
"Morning everyone. Are we ready to leave? Just to confirm, our mission is to gather reconnaissance on the vampires and it's at our disgression to fight them correct?"

I will have a post by Friday latest.
"Tabetha Lockwell? Yes, I remember her. I still have her seal that she left behind tucked away somewhere. I'm afraid I have not heard anything from her either."
Evelyn paused thoughtfully. "When we last spoke, she mentioned that she had not paid respects to her late mother. There was also a mention of a gift from her mother but she did not elaborate any further."
Aenwyn tilted her head slightly. "If she went to pay respects to her mother, then the only logical place where she'd have to go would be ruined city Kal'ras. After all, that is where she grew up. I don't think I'll find much there considering how much time passed, but it is the only plausible lead we have on her."
Evelyn nodded. "For now, focus on the task at hand. We can consider our next course of action regarding Talmaria once the vampires in the vicinity are wiped out. As for the report, I believe it is here. Take a look at it for yourself."
"Have you any ideas what blood moons are and this prophecy the man mentions?" Evelyn asked.
"I'm not sure but it obviously has something to do with the moon. Perhaps it is related to the phases of the moon? There are some who say that at certain phases of the the veil between the supernatural and our reality becomes thinner. There is a belief that working rituals at the time of different phases of the moon can bring about physical or psychological change or transformation. There was once a brief time where a minority of the Wood Elves worshiped the moon but that hasn't been in practice for the past two or three centuries."
Aenwyn paused. "Sorry was I rambling? I sometimes lose myself when I talk. It's a pity the man they found escaped. Perhaps he'd have more information. What worries me more is that these entries mention nothing about seeing an elf. Normally, there'd be patrols along the borders and our relationships with Humans are friendly for the most part. Has our our numbers diminished so greatly that we cannot enforce the borders?"

As the Watchers left the court room, Aenwyn was disturbed by the news that vampires were sighted in Talmaria. The Wood Elves were devastated during the war, there was no questioning that. But for vampires to be sighted within, something must have went very wrong in the past 5 years. What happened to the Wood Elves after the war? When did communication cease with other nations? How much of a footing did these creatures of the dark have in Talmaria?
Surely Tabetha Lockwell, a former captain of the Order, would send for aid even if she did "retire" unless there were circumstances preventing them. Aenwyn frowned. She did not expect her return to her homeland to be rather dire. Aenwyn needed to know. This mission just became personal for her.
She walked towards Evelyn Sunderland and gave a small bow. "Lady Sunderland, you've mentioned that you have a report. I would like to see its contents. I've talked with many people since my arrival and all of them say the same thing. Talmaria has gone silent and no one knows where the Wood Elves went. For an entire nation to vanish, it is unbelievable. 5 years ago it would be unthinkable for those creatures of the night to even set foot in our domain. Have you heard anything from Tabetha Lockwell? She is a close friend friend of mine and was once under your command. Last I spoke with her was 5 years ago before she went back with the Wood Elves to our lands."

The last time Aenwyn saw Dustorne, the city appeared ready to crumble down to its very foundations. Now, Dustorne had changed for the better. The city still bore the scars of strife but the reconstruction appeared to be proceeding smoothly.
Before the meeting at with Evelyn Sunderland, Aenwyn spent her time trying to ascertain the state of Talmaria. Five years should have been enough time for some hopeful but all that she learned was that no one had contact with the Wood Elves. This turn of events surprised Aenwyn. Thinking back now, she spent the last 5 years isolated on some island training to be a scholar. For the Wood Elves to not communicate with the other races since the end of the war was very concerning.
With little else to do, Aenwyn returned back to her quarters to gather her thoughts.
What were her kin up to? With the discovery of new lands, it wouldn’t be surprising if there was another new continent that sprung up near Talmaria. Perhaps there was conflict in the land? If not conflict, then perhaps the Wood Elves simply wanted to isolate themselves. For what reason then? And what of Tabetha Lockwell? She had returned back to Talmaria. What happened to her?
At night, she and the other members of the Watchers gathered in front of Lady Sunderland.
"It looks like we've both come a long way, care to introduce me to your new comrades?"
"Lady Sunderland, I am Aenwyn Loradi, scholar, at your service."
