The bramble did not really bother Sabelle. Yes it was annoying, but that was the price one paid when cutting through the woods and in all truth it could have been much much worse, thus her surprise when she looked behind to find Calden so vexed as to pull up a bush and then abruptly take the lead. It was easier to navigate, but Calden's frustration did not seem to ease by the act.
Further through the woods they went. Occasionally Sabelle had to get Calden to pause so she could get her bearings. The woods had changed greatly, but there were still small hills and outcrops of rock that helped her find her way, and as they started to noticeably go uphill she knew they would be to the temple grounds shortly.
Instead of the well manicured clearing she had expected, the first sign of the temple grounds was a broken pillar among the deciduous trees. Sabelle completely stopped and went over to one of the larger pieces. She said nothing to Calden, nor made a sound. A small shiver went down her back when she noticed traces of glass imbedded into the broken fragments, suggesting great heat had been involved.
Standing up straight she looked around. Getting her bearings once more she dashed off. She had to get to the heart of the grounds and to the sanctuary!
