The trees were thinning as Asha walked, making way to an open clearing. She could see the base of the mountains not far from where she was, and that was where she was headed next. To her left, her home. She could end her adventure now, if she wanted to. It would just be a short walk. But she still had a lot left to learn, and more places to see. She could carry back information - she knew there were aspiring Liaisons among the newest members. At least one that she could recall, called Nanth. Perhaps it would push the younger Ma'ome to venture out just as she had, to make her own connections. She'd made one friend so far, even if there was a scuffle first. She would love to make new friends - especially ones willing to spar with her, and help her improve her skills.
She kept her pace, towards the Misty Mountain - her next destination. Gyali had come from the mountains, and Asha was eager to learn. She heard of small groups of others, perhaps forming their own colonies, or ones already well established ones.
There was only one way to find out!
