After a long four minutes, she emerged from the hut with her arms cradling several small sacks. She dumped them onto the grass and gave us a stern look. "Each of you will take a sack and fill it with either Kalna fruits or Lipry fruits, which can be obtained from the Kalna tree.

Fiona's head bobbed up and down in understanding, her eyes gleaming with decisiveness. "Yes, don't worry. I'll keep them all safe," she reassured the woman.
