Sylvestra moved through the lush forest, where towering trees stood tall like sentinels, leaves forming a verdant canopy above. The air was alive with the harmonious melodies of chirping insects and the gentle hush of whispering leaves—a sanctuary of nature's wonders.
She journeyed to a tranquil pool in a grove of vibrant ferns and luminous flowers. Here, she found a wise guardian of these woods, Elithros. Laying the youngling on a large stone at the wise being’s base, Sylvestra reached out with her mind. “I need your help, Great Healer.” “What is it, my child?” “This two-leg child has been injured.” Elithros, an Elder Tree Guardian, wordlessly extended one of its gnarled branches, bathed in soft, silvery light, to touch the child with the very essence of Veridora. It was not magic but a profound connection with the planet itself.
As the wound began to heal, the babe stirred, looking up, her breaths becoming deeper and more rhythmic. It was as if Veridora, in all its splendor, was tending to its own wounds.

Elithros, through its silent wisdom, knew this was no ordinary child. This was the one that was foretold. She would bring the humans fully into the realm that was Varadora. Not only mended her injuries but granted her a deeper understanding of the forest's secrets. In this sacred moment, White Feather glimpsed the intricate harmony of nature, the rhythms of the planet, and her place within this vibrant world.
When the healing was complete, Elithros retracted its limb. “Thank you, Voice of the Forest, for your healing on this young one.” “Climb on my back, child. I must call a Clowder to determine the next steps.” “This is a special gift the mother has presented to the world. The significance shouldn’t be taken lightly.” Elithros caused. “I agree Forest’s Renewal. There is much to consider.”
With a heart full of gratitude and a sense of newfound purpose, Sylvestra carried White Feather back into the woods of Veridora. The encounter with the healing guardian had marked the beginning of a journey that would lead White Feather deeper into the enchanting embrace of this beautiful and mystical planet.
