Lord Hendrick looked up at the elder tree as if he is speaking to the very tree it self.
" Would you like some time to pray to the elder gods, your grace ? " he asked.
" Indeed I will. Thank you, Lord Gator. " Sasha said, moving towards the elder tree.
The mood here is surreal, as if the elder gods are really watching over her in person.
She felt like she must offer her prayers to the elder gods before she began her task here.
" This way. "
Lord Hendrick directed to the prayer stones covered with mats, embedded all over in the roots of the elder tree.
The mats were covered with moss that seemed indigenous to the swamp land.
Lord Hendrick left Sasha alone in the clearing.
Sasha knelt by the tree, her hands held in prayer like she did for the gods of trinity, her mind cast towards the elder tree.
Now, for the first time, she has seen the effect of the winter star.
The necklace is no less powerful than the winter fist.
