terryclothNo one came to eat me. Instead, I was rescued. Tell-tail and Rydia brought the Zephyr up alongside my tree and carefully pulled me off.
“This is a bad idea. Raspberry is dead,” Darreth growled as they set me down carefully on a singed blanket next to several segments of Candyice. Who *was* dead.
“She’s not dead,” Rydia said, “look at her teeth – they’re still transformed. The fox changed back when it died.”
Darreth shook his head, “The creature is not Raspberry. Raspberry does not fight so well.”
“She’s possessed, but that doesn’t mean we can’t save her,” Tell-tail said. The orren were seriously in denial.
Darreth flew them back up to the branch, and set them down on the shore of a Starfall lake, far from the village. They all knew that if they brought me back, the villagers would want to kill me immediately, and they wouldn’t have a chance to save Raspberry.
Darreth refused to get off the boat when the orren shifted me to their little lakeside camp, insisting that they were being stupid and that he was going to go tell Jepa’s family and return the boat. The orren weren’t happy that he was leaving, but they thought they were safe, so they didn’t really argue. Of course, they didn’t know that Darreth was never to be seen again – before the Zephyr got out of range of my vision, I could already see the Bonstable’s mind reconfiguring as a Rassimel.
Jepa had made his decision -- he was going to leave his home and his family, and sail his little airship to another city-state to seek his fortune whereever the wind took him.
