"Ghost lights." Focus shrugged. "The spirits of dead people that died here. Don't touch them."
"O-oh. Thanks, didn't know that." Iist kept her hands close to her chest and continued to walk forward. "So why is the northern forest so dangerous, Focus? Any legends behind it that you might know?" She asked while walking.

Focus stared at you. "You don't know? What do you guys do in schools these days? You do know the main gods and goddesses, right?" She shook her head. "Anyways, I'll give you a quick history lesson. Shadowbinder was being possessed by a particularly powerful mage who happens to love making machines. So he then made her create all of the horrible things in the forest and gave them life. Eventually stuff got so serious and the creations were destroying stuff, Destiny cursed them to stay in this forest. So then, evolution happens and the creatures are even more dangerous than before. Shadowbinder was really upset, and she withdrew even more from the world, even though she was already very anti-social. I was a pupil of her when all this happened, so it was quite scary."

Iist listened carefully, though none of the names nor the story rung a bell from what she learned. With so many gods and goddesses, she found it hard to remember them all. "Ohh...was Shadowbinder a goddess too? Does she...or did she live here in the forest?"

Focus stared even more intensely than before. "Do you like under a rock? Shadowbinder is one of the great dragons that represent nature's forces. Other examples, Earthshaker and Windsinger. She didn't live here, only her creations got cursed to stay here."

Without further ado, the griffin picks up a rock and so does River, and the barrage of rocks starts again.
Focus stared even more intensely than before. "Do you like under a rock? Shadowbinder is one of the great dragons that represent nature's forces. Other examples, Earthshaker and Windsinger. She didn't live here, only her creations got cursed to stay here."
'I mean, I heard that in my history of Sornieth, not so much Ethernys...' Iist scratched her head, wondering if she should buy a history book.
"Ohh...the great dragons..." Iist blushed and looked down as they walked. "I'm sorry, I suppose my knowledge on the world outside my village is a bit shaky."

You successfully dodge the rocks. Your defense has gone up one level.

"Wherever Sornieth is." Focus snorted. "Go buy a history book, okay? Let's continue."
