The Month of Ioannes, in the Season of Summer, Era II, Era XIV Post Fractum
The wood, Areka enjoyed all wood. She could hid herself away from the world. The wood never talked back, accepted in some rare cases, and the wood was peaceful. Areka could attended to her thoughts without bother. Areka did have a gentle side to her blackened heart but most would never get to see the softer, lonelier, lost side of her.
Areka had made it to the meeting spot in the wood apparently early. Faust had sent word for her to meet up with him in this wood. He also said that Serion, who she was told had disappeared a little over two eras ago, would be joining him. It would an interesting meeting to say the least. Either way the plan remained the same, learn how to use this dagger and then it was off to Acumim.
Areka looked around for a source of water near the meeting spot. Luckily there was not to far away and if she wondered off to the stream she could still be spotted by Faust and Serion when they arrived. Making her way over to the stream Areka left her hood up as she bent over to cup some water in her hands before filling her water skin. All that was left to do was sit and wait for her fellow Vysstichi to join her.
