Just as Rosacer was contemplating the meaning of the vision, Fea's voice rang out.
"What did you see?"
Rosacer did not hesitate. "Elizabeth is in danger. Men in black were chasing her, and it seems they will catch her."
Fea frowned, clearly dissatisfied with the answer.
Still, a deal was a deal. She gave a firm nod. "I see."
"So, you know her as well."
Turning toward the trees, she raised her hand. The bark twisted and split as unnatural eyes formed within the wood, shaped crudely like those of a human. At her silent command, they scattered, vanishing among the forest. The root-like tendrils sank back into the ground.
Rosacer said nothing.
"Why not take the road from the village instead?" Fea asked.
"I do not wish to invite trouble right now," Rosacer replied, his voice firm.
Fea finally laughed, a soft giggle. "So, you caused trouble in the village. What did you do?"
She clearly did not expect an answer.
