1 New Blood #18 cover FOREVERGREEN PART 6óDart has his green top wrapped around his bare chest, his legs bare and is with Yun standing in water trying to find a place to see the shoreline better. They see steps going up a cliff. The forest is bigger than anything they ever knew. They feel someone watching them and Dart's feeling of this gives it to Yun but when Dart nearly skewers someone...they find it is Kimo. Yun sighs. Dart smeks his head and Kimo says, "Ow!" Dart tells him the others have to be alive. They find a hut at the top of the steps with markings that seem familiar. Yun hates small dark closed in places. Dart goes in ahead, down steps. Kimo follows and calls for himóóthe place is bigger going down than it looked. They find a dead human in a green glowing tomb. Dart thinks he knows this human...he drew the symbols. He brought his people together with the elves. He died when the Hoan G'tay Sho crossed the water long ago. Kimo calls Dart to come back to him. Dart tells Kimo the memories of their long lives just go away. Yun calls them out, she's spotted the others on the beach. They cannot be heard when they call down to them. Yun also spots humans landing in rowboats coming out of the river mouth. Down on the beach, the others are oblivious. Yun says, "You rotten fish pokers, look up here!!!" Jethel says, "It's so beautiful here. I hope we find Dart and the others soon." Dodia tells him they will, to be patient. Kimo keeps commenting on how really, really high the steps are. Strange white colored albino like humans toss nets on Chot and the others, calling them spirits. Far, far to the north, on the edge of the burning waste...Bailon returns from the fire sand to the Old One, all humans. They did not find a way through the Spike Mountains that block their trade with the coast but did see a four armed demon. The troll Thuggop bahs this and blames the little boy Yahan for missing it with his arrow. Bailon vows to find a way through the Spike Mountains over the bodies of the demons who dwell there, if need be. Troll mutters and grumbles. Windkin asks Door if he is listening. A chain to his ankle still keeps him from flying off. Aramek taunts Windkin, who hates him. A human woman slave tells Aramek who threatens to hit Windkin, that his chosen mate wants him. She tells Windkin she and the other humans hate Aramek as well. Door lives in a world of his own creation, far from places they know. He retreats there to escape the horrors that are around him. Legends say he has always been that way, travelling within. It is a thing a former master taught him, one called WinóOóWill. Windkin calls Winnowill, the Black Snake. She tells Windkin the two slave boys are KinóChi (dark brown eyes and a determined look) and Quaila (lite brown eyes and more of a worried look). They belong to a group that opposes Aramak (yes, different spelling). She tells Windkin any other spirits found outside the city walls will probably be killed by her people. Aramek flies to the top of thetower, planning. He figures the sky spirit is too strong in his will. Even drugged, he will not cooperate, not speak his words. He must keep the people's belief in him so they will not side with the rebels. Then he will lose everything. "Well, little Sky Spirit, that will not happenóóeven if I have to gut you and stuff your carcass with grass, you willl perform for me!" Chot is in one rowboat, tied with his hands behind his back, asking for something to eat, "At least give us something to eat!" In another boat are Suntop, Jethel, and Shenshen, a female albino at the front, facing out, standing. She tells Shenshen they understand the language of the Spirits and believe the Spirits have come for evil plans. Suntop tells her they have never heard of her Foundhome. She grabs his face and tells him to be quiet or their tongues will be cut out. She tells them they know all about the other Sky Spirit and his filthy alliance with the Attained Father. With Kimo and Yun on one wolf, Dart on another, the three find the group on the river. Dart tells the other two, "Those are our friends and folk down there, all we are, all we have. I didn't lead us here to watch any of us die! Let's ride! I don't care how many humans there areóóI'll fight them all if I must! We'll all be free...or we'll all be dead in the trying!"
