Offerings from The Forest

It was a quiet chilly spring night at the full moon, the animals at nigh were sleeping, and the wolves howling. The pink haired 'aheral would be walking  into the bush... She would be carrying her staff along with her in her right hand... the staff made out of bone, with golden scales stuck on, swirling around until it was crowned with an antler. She would step over a small stream, and spots a walking oyster mushroom the size of a halfling in the distance. The pink haired 'aheral would squint her eyes at it  and crouch down...  Her seeing the body of the shroomkin in her hometown was enough to know that these creatures weren't to be trusted.

 Once the Shroomkin had passed- she would continue onward... stepping over various tree roots and plants until she heard a loud SNAP beneath her feet. She would look downward, and spot a medium branch that had fallen from a oak tree that stood above her. A smile would spread across the Mali's face, she found what to carve. She would then pick up the branch, and would begin dragging it with her to the stream she was at prior. She would then plop down upon the ground- and would grab a jagged stone... she would then begin chipping away at the bark. Once the branch was clear of any bark- she would then carve various things into the broken branch.

 

The 1st part of the Branch had all sorts of blooming flowers, and the illustrations of seeds. There would also be the carving of a bear, defending its cubs.

The 2nd part of the Branch  was carved with various illustrations of bows and arrows, various apex predator designs carved into the branch. These would include the lion, orca, polar bear, eagle, along with a few others.

The bottom of the branch would then appear to branch out into a design of spider webs.. and nothing else.

 

The 'aheral would then spread a clear sap over the branch, wait an hour or so, and place it in the stream... clasping her hands together in prayer.. though not uttering a word.  She would then stand up- and depart from the area, leaving the branch behind in the stream, letting it sink into the water... 
 

When She got home, she would pen a note... sending it to her guide, and telling her all about the task...
Now onto the Grand.

Lenore looks over the contents of the letter, nodding along. A light hum escapes her as her words were regarded. "Well done dear! I suppose you may very well be ready for what's next..."
