Back In the Garden---A Rift in Memory [HOWLING LIGHT 4, pt. 1]

After returning Home and recovering for a night, the search party heads out again first thing in the morning---there are people still to find and mysteries to be solved; so with Mer's map and Paige's First Gen knowledge, they decide to make their way to "The Root"---marked as the old Bonfire Garden on the assembled maps that Yikai had left behind...
