"On today's venture, we found a sleeping woman in a ruin, who looked similar to the tan-skinned people of Boscuta, the land of the Selabol. She seemed quite comfortable despite the stone flooring, as she did not shift very much, if at all. Curious, my team and I approached her, and shook her to wake her, as surely she had fallen asleep doing something religious in nature-she wore a pale green robe adorned with intricate art of animals and humanoid figures, similar to the holy women in Boscuta, and ruin looked something like a temple the pious Toverian people would use to speak to their gods, though it was moss-ridden and unsafe as opposed to the ones we have seen. The woman awoke, her long black hair dragging along the stone, but when her brown eyes met ours, she gasped, looked around, panicked, and began to yell a single word over and over again. After trying for a few minutes, the woman looked around once more, and tears came to her eyes. I tried to speak to her and provide some comfort, but before I could utter a word, the woman rose to her feet, gave me a solemn look, and walked into the surrounding forest with a newfound calm. It has been three days since then, and we have not been able to locate her." - Howard A. Wilson
