I followed the Divine and we exited the building.
The suns were still high up in the skies and a few lazy clouds slowly moved with the wind. The clearing was as empty as when I arrived, and the treetops swayed with the wind.
A few birds flew by, flapping their wings and making abrupt turns mid-air when they crossed into the clearing. They went back into the forest and followed the treeline, then went on their way.
"My Ratnak fell asleep," I told Shorvanna, gesturing in the direction of my party which I felt through the Bond. "How come birds don't?"
"They fly," the Goddess pointed out the obvious. "If they fall asleep while flying they could get hurt."
"Aren't you thoughtful," I chuckled. "Will I have to carry my companions into the clearing?" I inquired.
"Not at all," she replied. "I will set the barrier to allow entry to those Bonded to Halves."
