Adelard didn't argue with her decision to leave, though he did leave a teasing note about keeping spirits company. Enera resisted the urge to tell him that their spirits weren't here, they were in the sky. A new thought hit her; did everyone become a skywalker, or just the good ones? She would have to ask mama. Mama knew all about the skywalkers.
She turned her back fully on the hill of bones and headed off, Adelard with her and inviting her to lead him somewhere else. She had been in a sour mood when she'd originally headed out, and the hill of bones certainly hadn't changed that, but Ad did make her feel better, and she wasn't quite ready to go back home yet. "This way," she said, picking a random direction. Maybe this time she'd find something a little more pleasant.
