How can he help?

“With each note, I further sealed her fate,” Terba trembled.  “It ends now.  I will no longer betray my charge.”  She knew Rock Monster would be looking for her message this evening.  “If I stay, I leave everyone to continue to have to live in terror as to when he will strike back.”  As the spectrum of color surrounded the squad, Terba hid at the edge of the mountain and slid unnoticed into the darkness.  She walked many lengths until she came upon an abandoned dwelling near a small lake still in the moonlight that shimmered along the surface.
     Terba rested until the following nightfall.  She prepared a simple meal longing for her child to be near her.  Resting throughout the day, Terba took flight as sunlight faded from sight.  Rising slowly in the breeze, she flew, not toward the assigned spot, but facing the path she felt her soul, her precious, precious soul had traversed.  Searching with each sweep of the wind, hoping above all that she will be safe.
     Traveler and Dweller came to the woods beyond the river, as the path became steep and rocky he stood before them.  Each jumped at the sight and thought, “What now?”
     “Pardon me, sirs, I do not mean to intrude upon your hike,” Ralgam politely spoke.  “Gentlemen, I have been dispatched to inform you of the latest findings.  While Lan-Oea is progressing along on her path, her previous taunters have returned.  She has attempted in vain to battle them, but have succumbed to their ravages.  My comrades have been monitoring her.  She has fallen into a trance, a deep trance.  We do not know how to help her awaken.”
