Ch. 617 Traces in trees

Flying down the tunnels made from stone hard wood that was beyond ancient, the trio of winged part-time explorers kept their hopes high and their expectations low.

Even if Elric, Sareia, and Aphrodite, had strong beliefs about the ancient stump being the remains of the world tree of legend and scripture that was the main focal point of the fae kingdom in the days of old, they knew that the traces of tiny feet and wing beats could have vanished with the rest of the once grand and mighty tree or the passage of time.

As they flew into the dark, illuminated only by their spells, they searched high and low for any hints that fae of any variety once tread those passages. Even a slight worn spot could be seen as a major clue that something or someone had made use of the tunnels in the past.
