Galo grins and extends his hand to the tree that used to be his staff. It winds back together until his staff is exactly as it was. He plants the butt of it against the earth.
A pulse runs through the forest and Galo realizes he can hear the forest far clearer than before. Had there been some kind of imbalance in himself? Had he truly been as wounded as those he helps?
He still is. He can feel the gaping wound in his soul but it’s mending little by little. Galo opens himself to the world around him and a new path winds between the trees. He is truly of the old ways now. He lifts his staff, and walks down the path. “Let’s go. This will take us to the edge where forest meets the lake. It’s been looking like it will flood the forest since things started tipping out of balance.”
But with Lio they can set that right. His grin is wide and bright like the sun coming out. “We can do some temporary work today. We’ll fix it entirely when we deal with Kray.”
