Confusion, anguish, and grief haunted the maiden for the remainder of the night and into the next day. Confusion over the blind man and his sudden departure as she admonished the foul beings of the Night, anguish that she had let herself become so lonely as to put herself and her Forest in danger by inviting a servant of Darkness to her home, and grief over the wretchedness she had felt from her oppressors and the blind man in question. The blind man...
Who was he and what was his purpose in her wood? She had sent him off to the mountains along with the rest of the servants of Darkness so he was still technically in her domain. And still able to complete whatever business he had in her wood. The thought troubled her greatly and so she gathered together as many of her friends as she could muster who spoke Common Tongue. Several pairs of foxes answered her call, along with a flock of doves, ravens, and sparrows. A few rabbits even volunteered to seek the blind man and a doe promised the elf that if any blind man should stumble her way, she would be glad to pass along any messages the guardian might wish to send along.
And so it happened that as a few goblins were busily tying four victims to a tree, a sparrow came hopping over for inspection and twittered in a chirpy little voice, "Looking for a blind man, have you seen? Blind man graced by the Lady. Blind man in trouble or blind man is trouble. Not sure, but Lady is looking for blind man and this looks like trouble."
