"We should travel with you. I don't know what the tree or Sylph would think if I don't make the trip." Cerilla looked at Arad and then at the world outside, "I can feel it, it isn't about the destination, but about the journey. This trip is most likely just a training ground for what I'll face atop the tree. And if previous kings made it, I can do it as well."
"You making it up or not isn't my problem." Arad looked at her for a long moment, "All of the previous kings died not long after returning from the trip. It took a toll on their bodies."
"As all things in life do. But keep in mind that most of the previous kings took the trip later in their lives. I'm still young and strong." Cerilla sat on a log and looked at Arad, then at Jasmine. "I can't ignore my duty."
