Cora Ray
I'm shaken awake by Atty.
I takes me a second to figure out where I am. Then I remember. I'm in the woods. On my way to Westhallow. It all feels more real now.
"What's the time?" I ask.
Atty looks at Aino's watch.
"6:15." she says.
I nod and get up.
Aino is already up, packing up the little we have. Atty is trying to wake up Inez.
"We should read into the clue more." I say once everyone is up.
The other 3 nod in agreement.
"You shall go to the town in the west,
At a healer's house you shall rest,
Prepare yourself for what comes next,
And prove you really are the best." Inez recites.
I nod thoughtfully.
"The town in the west is obviously Westhallow." Aino says.
We nod.
"So we should try to find a healer I guess?" Inez asks.
"We should try to find food and water, we don't know how long from here the healer's house is." Atty says.
We all agree on walking around in the woods to look for an opening or food and water.
"Are we splitting up?" Aino asks.
"That's probably a bad idea."

Inez Ashcroft
We walk arond the woods for what seems like hours until we find a river.
We all drink thirstily from it.
"I have a bottle." Cora says.
"Fill it up here so we have water." Atty responds.
Then we continue walking.
I recognize some berries that we eat and pack a few in my plastic bag.
We walk for what seems like a few more hours until the woods finally open up.
"There!" Aino points out a sign.
"Wyverlight."

Atty Elsher
We walk into Wyverlight and start looking for a healer.
"It has to be here." Inez keeps saying.
Finally we stumble across a market. There, someone is selling herbs.
"Excuse me, are you a healer?" I ask, since I have the best manners from all the fancy dinners.
"Yes." the woman answers.
"You are going to Westhallow, yes?" she asks us.
"Yes ma'am."
"Come with me."
The woman starts shuffling around packing all the herbs.
We stand by awkwardly and watch.
"Do you...er... need help?" Aino finally asks.
