Zirani's tracking technique was rather complex, but its main principle was simple enough. Using a drop of the former madame's blood and some of her aether she was able to create a sort of one-way link that would lead her to the source of the dream aether. There were parts of it I didn't really understand, but I was sure if I wasn't focused on other things I could have figured it out, though she wasn't entirely using just nature. She had formed a simple piece of circular bark which she had carved a simple array onto, and after dropping the blood onto it, and then feeding it aether, the link was formed.
"It's above us," Zirani said her eyes far away. "It's not moving, so I think I was right in assuming it's an object rather than a person."
