"When I left Rotao for Giant Tree Hill and disembarked from the ship, I was penniless and had nowhere to go. Miss Atira took me in. She is a priestess of Goddess Ameya and a Forest Ranger of the Forest Sea Temple, so I became a Hall Guard Knight there. You know, although I follow Lady Marlan, Goddess Ameya doesn't require those who guard her gates to know the Way of Ancient Tree, and the kind elves don't mind that either,"
"Miss Atira is a Holy Tree Ranger?" Fang Hong was mildly surprised, "But I've heard that the Forest Rangers of the Forest Sea Temple are the chosen of Ameya, pure maidens, and they can't easily leave the Holy Tree Forest?"
"She made an ancient oath to the White Oak Tree, so it's not against the rules," Reed replied, patting Fang Hong on the shoulder and winking at him, "As for the rest, when Ade, she wants you to know, she'll tell you."
Fang Hong nodded.
"And what about you, Parker?"
