[1.04] The Old Hut
Visions were tricky things - sometimes they came from the gods, to tell you things you needed to know. More often, though, they were spells from malefactors, trying to mess with your head. While Erlin didn't mess with that kind of magic, it seemed reasonable to her that whoever was doing this must be close by. If their attention was on the ruined hut, perhaps the one doing this was hiding elsewhere, perhaps the woods nearby?
Especially if the evil presence is not as strong as it was initially - that implied movement. Evil fey creatures? They were definitely not things anyone wanted to anger.
"We should stay together, but look around, clumps of bushes and trees and the like. Who or whatever is doing this is probably leaving tracks. If we can't see it they might be feigr, what you Southerons call Fey."
The Old Crone from her village was actually from the Land of the Linnorm Kings, and usually called them Fej, but it was pretty much all the same. Up there they were commonplace; Erlin herself had never encountered one, but she knew all kinds of stories and songs and poems involving them.
[Language unknown: "Plpaon llhind le ivwhes"], she called out in her native tongue, [Language unknown: "th ol ee t evme..."]
