Bab 365: Chapter 365 Meeting with an Old Acquaintance

Evelyn could not help but be remorseful when Rehni brought up the burrowing owls that lived in the Velinis Desert.

Thanks to her Otis had died. Had she never intruded upon his home and taken him away once he was strong enough to be useful, he would likely still be alive.

Sure, the burrowing owls would take them in and give them a safe place to recover, but Evelyn could not stand to face them. 

However, Evelyn's choice was not purely emotional. She had thought about it logically as well.

"We may find sanctuary with the burrowing owls, but it will not change our current situation much. If I am to recover, we will need stronger healing magic. Something the burrowing owls certainly do not have. Instead, we will head to the Elmot Gorge. There we will find Lucia. Hopefully she will be able to help." 

Without the Roost's support, Lucia was the only friendly ally that Evelyn could think of that might be able to help her recover from her injuries.
