[21:44] Silence. Nothing but silence. For hours on end. On occasion the Elder would speak again. Repeating her prayer, seeking Their guidance.

Asking for their sign, anything to let her know that she was doing as they had destined for her. For hours on end did she hear nothing. Only that of the breeze and the waves below.

However, just as the Sun reached it's peak within the sky a massive Light cast down upon her. One that shined through the natural brightness of the Sun.

It crashed down upon her, slamming against the stone and rearing back up as if it were recycling itself. Immediately Elora felt a rush of feelings and power like she had never experienced.

Not even when she had channeled Their will through her to heal Thalis and Barthalamew. This was something different.

'For your entire life you have served the purpose of my Will. To protect others. To shield them from pain, from injury. To heal them and save their lives. Regardless if they were your enemy or not.'

BOOM! Like a thousand cannon firing at once did this voice echo in her mind. Commanding all of Elora. Everything that she was. As it continued to speak the Light which cast upon her from the heavens above amplified tremendously.

Throughout her being did this outward presence radiate. Shining brightly with a powerful White light.

'I have said unto you before, His gift shall be bestowed unto you. For your selfless dedication.

There is a Church on an island just off the southern coast. There is one there, plagued by illness. Go there and your question will be answered.'

Their voice exploded in her mind once more. They had spoken. They had named her destination and given her the next step in her path. Just as it had began, it had ended. That great White light which cast upon her suddenly vanished. With it the over abundance of feelings and emotions.

For some time did the Elder remain upon the stone. She knew what she must do.
