>You follow your old path, and soon depart the village. The two of you walk along the fields of oats and barley and past pastures of sheep. Soon the forest comes into view again, and after a short distance, you find the road. According to Mamizou, it leads directly to King Pendragon's capital. Following it, after a decent walk you find yourself in familiar territory. You see no signs of any other seelie, but Mamizou insists that they are there and that if you cared to, you could probably surprise and catch a faerie. After a couple more minutes of walking, you find yourself near the place where you first emerged into this world.

>"It is certainly nostalgic, " says Mamizou, as she looks around. "Ah, the soil is the proper color and everything..."
>It is still light out. Upon thinking about it, it should be getting dark very very soon, given how long you were away. It's rather surprising that it hasn't already.
>You head forward, leaving the stand of ash trees behind, and look for a place where it would be easy to take to the air, when you hear a smooth feminine voice from behind say, "Mmm, that would everything, wouldn't it?"

>You turn around, as does Mamizou. to see a tall, blonde Youkai standing there, holding a lacy white umbrella in one hand. Wearing a white gown with a purple overlay decorated in trigram and a white mob cap, you have never met this woman in your life. However, you are quite certain you recognize the gap youkai by reputation alone. She regards you and your companion with calm expression that you cannot read.
