Ksmvr	Ksmvr and Vofea were circumnavigating the entire maze from the outside, looking for a clue on how to find the other Horns—or just a less visibly trapped way in. He was moving deliberately, alert for traps.
Shaestrel	“Shaestrel is one of the members of the Court of the Fae. She saw your fates and where you needed to be if you wanted to help Erin Solstice. Your friends will probably survive.”
Erin Solstice	“Shaestrel is one of the members of the Court of the Fae. She saw your fates and where you needed to be if you wanted to help Erin Solstice. Your friends will probably survive.”
Ksmvr	The Satyr hesitated as Ksmvr peeked around one corner of the collapsed maze.
Ksmvr	Her silence said everything Ksmvr needed to hear. He climbed over the collapsed wall on the hunch that a broken piece of the maze meant the magic was either dead—or unpredictable.
Ksmvr	This place was clearly overgrown with vegetation for once. A purple carpet of moss or something had grown over stone, and since this place was gel-less…Ksmvr supposed the local flora had emerged.
Ksmvr	Ksmvr snapped at her. Vofea folded her arms, wincing as she climbed over the rocks. Her bleeding had stopped, but the cuts looked nasty.
Ksmvr	Ksmvr did halt in his tracks. He swiveled around to face Vofea and held up a finger; he still had his swords, and one hand held his trusty trap-detection stick. But four arms beat two.
Tekshia Shivertail	“Firstly. You are not a Horn of Hammerad despite Tekshia Shivertail’s contract because Captain Ceria has not approved your membership. Secondly. I find your presence highly inappropriate. If Yvlon called for aid, I would expect more help. Like Halrac’s team. Or Jelaqua’s team. Or both. Thirdly. You do not know the future or destiny. If it is not certain, stop saying you are going to die. If it is certain, all our choices are meaningless, and I was destined to say this, in which case I am very displeased to have been wasting my time stating the obvious.”

Ksmvr	Ksmvr made a fist and gently bonked her on the head. Vofea rubbed the spot.
Ksmvr	They continued onwards. As far as Ksmvr was concerned, lichen or whatever was on the ground proved the traps were largely inactive, but he gave things a damn good poke anyways. Vofea peeked over his shoulder as Ksmvr had a sudden, worrying thought.

Ksmvr	Ksmvr grumbled under his breath.
Ksmvr	The Satyr pointed, and Ksmvr recoiled with an oath.
Ksmvr	She snorted with laughter as Ksmvr spotted the faintest glow under the lichen. He poked away the moss and sighed when he saw the spell.
Ksmvr	Vofea skipped over the spells as Ksmvr followed.
Ksmvr	The faerie drew the word out carefully, and Ksmvr picked up his pace. They cleared the corridor and came to a broken wall and, of all things, some dribbling water. A crack in the ceiling was letting some brackish liquid down, and Vofea pointed at it.
Ksmvr	Ksmvr kicked her, and she screamed as he accidentally hit her cuts. He pointed.
Florist	“Monster.”
Ksmvr	Both of them stared as something flinched at the sound of his voice. A strange…creature two feet long and on all fours was lapping at the brackish, dark water. When it heard Ksmvr, it curled up, and Vofea exclaimed.
Ksmvr	The thing looked like a version of an armadillo, a creature Ksmvr had seen in Tiqr with Nsiia. Only, it was more compact, and instead of a shell on its back, the inverse was true. When it ‘curled up’, it turned into a weird…orb on its front where its belly was.
