Lily looked around anxiously for Zael. Where is he? she kept asking herself. She wanted to say goodbye to him, but she couldn't find him. She sat down on the grass and looked at the quest members. Seven people she wouldn't challenge or train with. Just like Seth only hopefully less permanent. She especially hoped Zael's absence wouldn't be permanent.

Rain stood back at the edge of the group, watching Dresyn share goodbyes with others. She had already said her goodbye and she knew he had to talk to the other campers that were leaving. A pang went through her as she watched Azura walk up to him and hug him. Part of Rain still suspected something between them. But now that he was leaving she didn't really care.

Brody walked around clapping the heroes on their backs and muttering words of encouragement. He stopped for a moment to let Dresyn know that he was sure Chiron had a lot of confidence in him. Momentarily his eye was caught as Acanthus's Roman tattoo caught in the light through the many limbs of others. His tall figure was pretty noticeable too. Brody steeled himself for a moment before walking up to Acanthus and sticking out his hand, "Good luck."
