The Tessitore di Sogno had been incredibly busy ever since her promise to give an avian companion to Dalgina. She had worked hard to create beautiful sculptures and several wooden pieces of jewelry that she could use to trade for the chick that Dalgina was to receive. Hotaru even entertained the possibility of picking up a chick herself, although Fawkes had been less than thrilled with that idea. He had been in a foul mood ever since the pond incident, and had even gone off on his own for a few hours to cool his head. Hotaru worked hard to assure her dear friend that he wasn't being replaced, but Fawkes still remained in his sour mood.

A small whine drifted through the window and Hotaru grabbed her satchel and walking staff. With graceful steps she moved out of her house and greeted Dalgina with a wolfish bark. The heavy bag bounced against her side as she knelt down to the puppies level. It was filled with her creations, and she hoped to be rid of most of them by the end of her trip. Her hand reached out into the darkness to pet the young wolf's head. "Ready to go?"

Fawkes, who had gone off scouting the day before, led the way. The marry band moved quickly through the forest, the well worn trails were familiar to Hotaru and it was easy for her to move through the land. However, once they reached the boarder of the Ethereal Eclipse, Hotaru was forced to slow down. She heavily relied on her staff, the wooden tip trailed in front of her in a wide arc. Fawkes moved skillfully from tree to tree and provided instructions for his blind master.
