Kat had been travelling for a week at this point. It was a bit after half way through the fourth day that they finally managed to make it to the split in the road. They took the North path as agreed and then walked for another three days after that. Kat spent the time practicing her meditation while walking.
Kat considered trying to untangle her mess of memories and read more races off that list, but the update messages she got from Lily assured her that Lily was enjoying herself having such an interesting topic to research. She kept insisting it was like nothing she'd ever considered and much more fun because she could use it to help herself a bunch.
