[Aynia]

Aynia's eyed narrowed and her mouth pursed a bit, but it was the only indication of the horror she felt inside. Three portals? Would there be time to warn the holdfasts near them? How many creatures had escaped the portals so far? Her mind was racing with questions and formulating answers as the Oracle continued to speak. She was still listening intently, taking in every word and filing it away. As soon as the Oracle was finished she walked confidently to the large map laid out on the table.

"Could one of you," She picked up a small token, "please locate on the map the approximate location of the portals, as best you know?" She looked over at Carrot to see him standing with a very concerned look on his face. She spoke to him gently. "My love, if you could take care of issuing this information to the holdfasts? The ones closest to the portals should take priority. We also need to organize forces to send to those areas. We can't leave them undefended and we must protect the holdfasts. If you need me in a meeting with your captains just call on me."
