Finding my Twin » Places

         Scare me away? Heh, I'm already terrified of you. Illiesse thought to herself as she continued surveying... Icess and Joshua, was it? Illiesse had been in the same tree still, now quite far back from the two, watching them through the trees in the forest. Once again, she gave in to thought.

They seem to be close to the ends of the forest. I will soon be of no use to them. No matter, I've had my fun for a century. I hope the boy does well on his quest.

Follow them.

What? Illiesse looked around. Her pounded faster. Surely she was alone. But this aura, it was warm and bright, and all around her. Could it be...?

Get out of the forest. Follow the boy. Under my command, you will learn, and you will teach.

The voice spoke no more, Illiesse could only think it was the Deity of the Forest herself. The aura was sweet and kind, like she would've thought, but Her voice was strangely dark, coarse, panicky, almost evil of sorts. She shook it off though, she has been given a mission. Follow this Joshua, learn, and teach. She spread her wings for the first time in a decade and flew over the forest to catch up to the two and explain why her presence must be kept.

But... learn and teach what exactly?
