Yuma tightened her lips, thought for a while and replied, “Madi said she’d lead the children to the large Red Wood near the Dark Pool. I hope they got there but I don’t know how far it is.”

 "I know the way there." Hari whispered from behind, confidently. “Many a time I have passed there on my hunting trips in the forest.”

 “But never alone, always with the Elders.” Arden added grimly.

 Rubia laughed nervously, "Are you really sure, Yuma. I have heard that Red Wood and the Dark Pool is the haunt of the mysterious Alvaine."
