The questions were the pebble dropped in a pond, and the ripples were whispered in the wind to the Elementals throughout the continent of Thaisia. They flowed through the Great Lakes and down the streams and rivers, and they were part of the rain. They became a scent in the earth that was picked up by more than the shifters and Sanguinati willing to reside near human settlements.
That scent did not please the earth natives who lived in the most primal, and pristine, parts of the wild country.
And when the ripples became surf, Ocean took the questions into herself and sent them far beyond Thaisia.
