Chapter 36
Ivy held the now infant Frus with a very confused expression. Looking at everyone around her, she didn't receive much reassurance. Everyone conscious gave her looks similar to the one she gave them.
'Okay, Ygrene and Vrust knew Frus as a little kid, right? Maybe they can help,' thought Ivy. Meanwhile, Frus was messing with her hair. He wasn't pulling it or anything, he was running his fingers through it. Anyway, Ivy tried a few different things and eventually awoke the Ygrene and Vrust. Vrust was still a little out of it, but Ygrene looked at Frus and remembered when they had first met and all of the stories he had told the little guy.
After a minute or two, Vrust was back to normal, too. Well, okay, in truth he was muttering incoherently, but he was doing well in the situation. Luckily, Ygrene was done daydreaming and ready to help out Ivy. But first…
"Ivy, uh, what happened?" he asked.
"I have no idea," she answered. "I was hoping that you could give me some pointers or something."
Ygrene started to say something, when a small hand flew out of the ground. Gripped in that hand was a map. Ivy took the map and looked at it, and it showed a way to some sort of restorative thingy and various desserts. Ivy shook the hand and it vanished back to wherever it had come from.
And so, our party was on another mission that had nothing to do with getting home.
I can't think of anything else, and it has already taken me too long to write this.
