Felegro lies on twisted, soot-covered grass. He's been lying there for about three hours now, with his eyes wide open. He has one cheek on the ground, and both palms flat against the blackened soil, as if listening. His cracked, parched lips form words, but no sound emerges. Even one lying next to him would have difficulty making out the words they form: "...hear it.. Can you... screaming...?"
Felegro's body, for once, doesn't look quite as destroyed as his mind. Although most of the skin has grown back, great scratch marks down his back bleed oily gold in the twilight. His right arm isn't missing, technically, but one can be fairly sure it isn't supposed to be strapped across his waist with a twist of vine. His hair, having been torn out by the root not long ago, is slowly regaining ground. Even his lips and nose appear healed, although the nose will never be quite straight again.
His right arm flops in an unsightly manner as he jumps to his feet, making an appealing gesture that none can see. "I know what to do now," he tells the arm elatedly, which jiggles disgustingly in response. "It was so simple. Can't believe I never thought of it. And after I take care of this, Voice has to see that what I'm doing is . . . " his voice trails off, as he looks up at the sky with a dazed look. "The time is now!" he cries. Pulling out a leaf from somewhere (and given his lack of any REAL clothing, this is rather odd), he rubs it franticly.
Everyone that has one of Felegro's leaves suddenly feels it quiver and twist as if it were alive. If ignored for more than 5 minutes, it starts poking the person carrying it, and then after 10 minutes, will start actively stabbing them without causing any real damage. Every leaf reads the same thing: "Come. Your urgent assistance is required to destroy the Ghostrock Threat. The time is now."
Once read, the leaf will not poke any more. It will guide, magically, any who follow it to Felegro's current location.
