"Then should we not head for that property?" suggested Edhener. "It is the only one we know of, the only place where we can search. We need somewhere to start, and this seems the only alternative, unless you count searching blindly through the entire Rohan, North, South, West and East."
But they were too few for that, Edhener thought, and time was too short. He thought that making for the property in the woods would be the right plan, if such a property existed. He had never heard of a house in the deep thickets of the woods; unless he paid heed to the rumours of dark and perilous cottages, which he had long stopped believing in, and which he took to be only a tale to scare children off from going too far into the forest, and encountering dangers far greater and more real than restless spirits and monsters.
"Can you tell me more about this place?" he asked turning to Mayonette. "Have you ever seen it? Do you know how far it lies from here?"
