Guardians of the Grove - Recap 02/16/23

 The Trees!! They’re alive!!

          On their way to Falanton to possibly secure some info on Atheya’s debt and a plan to infiltrate Worschester, the Guardians decide to rest. While resting, Atheya and El are visited by a dog-like creature, a blink dog. Unusually the dog can speak with Atheya in a language they both share. After bonding for a while, the dog is able to warn the others of incoming danger. Walking trees that trample the group and attempt to separate them. With some difficulty after being caught off guard, the group dispatches the living trees and tends to any wounds before quickly moving on along with their new companion. While on their way, El and Blood discover two bodies, one already deceased, while the other is slowly dying and put out of their misery by Blood. Atheya quickly revives the fellow, who quickly warns us that we are approaching the Red Queen’s domain. 


                                                  Mira, the Red Queen


    The now revived Merchant, warns the group about a powerful figure that has changed Falantan; this figure is confirmed to be Mira, the Blink dog’s former owner and an old comrade to the Guardians. The Blink dog confirms that something has changed in Mira but is unsure how or why. At first reluctant to charge right in, the Guardians decide to press forward into the woods. Wulf tells the merchant to warn the council of the present danger. As they enter deeper into the woods, the light disappears and is replaced with the terrifying presence of several red lights from monstrous-looking trees. 



Not Your Type

      While investigating the woods, El suspected that they were being followed and checked out the area nearby with Wulf. This leads Wulf to misunderstand El’s intentions and let her know that she just is not his type, El, confused by this sudden humble nature of Wulf, walks back to the group with Wulf. Meanwhile, Blood and El discover more tracks and decide to follow them. Not knowing what they will face or their goal, they may very well be heading closer and closer to the Red Queen herself and an unfortunate fate.
