"We've got time for a visit, don't we? I mean.. it's in the same direction right? We slayed a big ol monster for this forest's protector!" The little moogle said, hovering like a hummingbird behind Lume. The two of them sat on the runner which really seemed odd to the Caelumite. Of those two he was the most excited.
"Indeed the Malboroba was slain by the work of our party. Perhaps she will grant safe passage to us if we exchange this favor." Lume said, wondering just who this witch was. "Is that not the Boon you speak of, Selie're?"
"Baba Yaga," Galren began, "The Witch of the Twisted Tree. I believe that is the one you are referring too, Wallas Farmohn. She is a Primal like that Book says, however, she's much more like an animal than a witch. I have seen her form in the sky as one would a hawk." He spoke with an old accent from the same continent as the Selie're and Wallas however, those two would notice a strange twist to his tongue, as if he'd spent a long time learning many dialects of the common language. However, above all things he spoke with confidence over this matter. "I have seen many a Primal, this one is what you may call neutrally aligned."
"What's a Primal again?" The moogle asked. It was obvious he'd never been outside the walls of the his home.
"It is the Patron of the wild, one who has not united with its people. Baba Yaga will one day become a Patron when her people arrive at this place. However, this is not going to happen within our lifetime. A Primal will wait until the end of time for its people to find it within the wilds. Kingdoms will fall and the seasons will pass like that of a single hour for a Primal." The Geomancer was very knowledgeable of these creatures, having traveled across the world for most of his life.
"Oh... so what if we were her people?" The moogle asked being nosy.
"Then the Primal would show herself to us upon our arrival in the forest, asking for an offering of Magicite for her to ascend to the Goddess Shrine."
"So she'll go up there and then what?" the short one stared into the sky, seeing the crescent of the goddess shrine (a moon) already.
"This forest will transform, a blessing will be given to one of her people, and a great deal of work begins for the new kingdom." Speaking from his experience, this was a gold mine of information for Wallas. The Geomancer wondered if the Mahngan was taking notes.
"Oh! I wanna be blessed!"
"A king has many duties." Lume said, wondering if the moogle would ever cease questioning the old man. "Besides summoner of Navire, your Patron has blessed you with the power to bring fourth a creature to this realm."
"Oh that's pooey! I can summon cause I just can, no Patron required!"
"A creature that you must one day show us, Greg." The Geomancer said. "Now, as the Warrior Koji has given us a report, we can make the choice to go around a Primal's nest, visit her, or attempt to get close but ignore her. I doubt that she would stay hidden if we traveled close to her nest. Yet the way around this forest is unclear to me... much has changed since I last passed through this area."
"Heh, you're taking too much time. Just go already." Kevess appeared behind them, his bandages covered in red blood spattered across his hands. It was clear that he'd just killed something. However, no scratch marks on his body indicated a biased battle in the shadow hunter's favor. "What? Can't handle blood?" He moved on without them, heading toward the large tree.
