TCES - The Cave of Bats

The Cave of Bats
'Near the foot of the mountain are the caves where the bats live. At twilight, they stream from the dark mouths into the azure sky...'
And if you were at the camp on the right evenings, you might see the Cloaked Emissary disappearing into those caves.

Communion?
'I cannot deny that the Emissary shares some affinity with the bats...'

I followed him, that evening, though it cost me a little to leave the camp unnoticed. He slipped into the dark space as if he had been there a thousand times.

I listened at the mouth of the cave, but heard nothing so I ventured a look. But a glimpse sent me reeling. There was no sign of the emissary, but there were letters of fire scrawled across the cave walls. Clouds of bats massed and swirled, so I could not see if the letters had meaning... but what else could I conclude but that the Emissary had left a message of some sort for the bats? And who had left a fine leather satchel in my room? It was perfect for my papers, but the feel of the fine fur on the leather was disturbing.
