Arad started walking. "Follow me. We should follow them since we don't have any other leads."
Mira looked at Arad and then at Aella, "We don't have a choice." Everyone started following him.

~You're getting closer. But you won't find me~
The voice rang again in Arad's head, "We are getting closer. I hope we won't have to fight anything."
Mira stopped walking and rushed to one of the trees. "Come look at this!" She started digging blew the trunk and revealed the roots. "The veins. The elder tree is close." She smiled.
~That one doesn't have much time. Child, would you mind pulling him out?~
Arad blinked, ^What?^
~Grab and pull, you can do it. Can't you?~
