After speaking with Alice, Ashleigh and Caleb waited to leave for Moonguard.
Knowing that Myka was the one she needed to guide her to the Spring ley line, she wanted to stay until she knew he was all right.
But, after reaching out to Talis and feeling like there was little to be done. One day became two, and she knew they couldn’t wait. There was no guarantee that Myka would wake up any time soon or that he would get better at all.
The ley lines in Spring would have to wait. The mission to Moonguard needed to happen now.
Travel to Moonguard would take them a day and a half by car. They considered running. It would have been much faster. Still, after Myka’s attack, Caleb insisted that they needed heavier armor than the weave provided. Which meant they would need to wear real armor, and their shifting would not be possible without removing it.
