Bella POV
Elephant Rock, Ravines of New Irismus
I knew this creature wanted something from me, but I wasn't sure. Here, deep in the ground, I could sense Ivy's impatience and anxiety, and also her thirst. We were all thirsty.
I drank the water and felt refreshed beyond measure.
"This is good water, it will heal your pains and sores and make you less tired than before!" The creature said.
"Thank you," I answered, wiping my face. I already felt better than I had in days actually. The forced sojourn at the whispering pillars had drained me somewhat. I felt more myself again. I felt Ivy tug at our bond. She wanted to know if I was all right, so I sent her a surge of energy as well. She surely would be needing it.
I looked at her and asked, "Now what?"
"We slither down the river to the place where the seal is and then you break it."
