Ellie goes looking for Dame Ash., peekiing in her room.

It's empty, but she notices something, a broken gray crayon.

Well... crayons are for childlings, right?

She creeps into the room to retrieve the crayon.

She finds the gray cryon, and bits of other colors, as she bends down, she finds something under the bed. A sheet of paper.

a drawing!

Ellie retrieves the paper, looking it over.

Lots of gray... a drawing, a good one, of a mouthless boy holding up a tattered purple star trying to put it together. Other children without eyes huddle around him and a dark cold shadow looms over them all.

Ellie frowns.

The purple is really the only color besides the gray

She takes the drawing with her, looking for any other clues in it.

On the back side, Ash has written something

A bigger frown, and she stops walking to puzzle it out.

It takes effort 'Dauntain? Fenix nearest hold but outside city'

Something bad! Dauntain make her shiver - thallian are scary, but in a different way.

Yes. Avoid avoid avoid Dauntain she was told.

"Ellie, where you been?"

Ariel bounds up
