They continue walking in a straight line in the forest, as per Mira’s suggestion, until Rylee hears a rustling sound. She reaches out to grab Mira’s shoulder, but they must have gotten far enough for Mira’s brief power-up to fade, as she’s back to being incorporeal.
“Mira,” Rylee hisses, getting her attention. “Did you hear that?”
Mira pauses and turns to face her. She shakes her head, and they wait in silence. It happens again, the rustling, and this time Rylee can hear a familiar-sounding voice.
It sounds like—and she has to rein herself in lest she get too excited—Tyren.
“It’s them,” Rylee breathes out, eyes frantic and searching Mira’s expressionless face. “It’s got to be them.”
“If you say so,” she says, and Rylee does not fault her for her skepticism. “Go ahead, though. I will be behind you.”

Tyren sighs, and stretches their arms behind their head. “Yeah,” they say, “but there’ll always be some kind of backlash, no matter what I do. It’s what happens every time there’s a new leader. If I go before everything is stable again, no nine year-old is going to be able to make the right decisions.”
“There’s always Maril.”
“Maril has her own agenda.”
“You just don’t trust her ‘cause Cora didn’t.”
“I don’t trust her because I don’t know what she wants.”
“Why can’t she want what the rest of want: this decade-old threat gone, and our peace returned? Why can’t she want thriving business like all of us do?”
