Sosora, Malak, Issa, and Tilo continued looking through the forest for traces of Tair. As time passed and word spread, more people from the nearby tribes joined them.
Tair's wife, Rilere, hadn't been planning on making it such a big deal at first. Maybe Tair just needed a break from everything for a day and was simply taking a walk around the forest. But as more people joined in, it started becoming clear that Tair was missing. Otherwise, someone would have seen him.
When she saw the serious faces on the four youngsters leading the search, she realized that it was for real. So, while the four searched, she spread the word before joining the search herself.
However, they turned stones, dug up plants, and split grass without finding so much as a hair of Tair.
