Return

There was something in Firestar's eyes that caught Alex's attention, a sort of emotion that usually wasn't seen in a Divinity. Was that… shame?

Firestar took a moment to suck in a deep breath and then spat out what was on her mind.

"One of the disciples that came with me to the competition failed today. She was so close to passing. Had she stuck it out for maybe 5 more minutes, she might've passed, and yet…"

Silvermist crossed his arms, waiting for Firestar to continue speaking. She was taking her time with her words, causing him to get impatient.

Firestar looked toward Alex. "You know who I'm talking about, right?" she asked.

"Sister Riveroak, I'm assuming," Alex said.

Firestar nodded. "She said you two became friends during the competition. So, she wanted me to ask you if there is any way you could help her."

Alex paused for a moment.
