To A Secluded Spot, Just Outside of Town

You follow the cloaked woman until it becomes apparent she is heading out of town. You hesitate, unsure if you should follow. The tattooed witch said that you were free to move about the castle, you feel like you're already pushing it by moving around town, you're not sure whether you should push the limits further by leaving town. The cloaked woman is getting further and further away, soon it will be impossible to follow her. You need to make a decision.

You decide that it shouldn't matter too much where you go, as long as you come back to Mistress Keylara she probably won't get mad. You follow the cloaked woman. She leads you through burned fields which were destroyed by Keylara's army. Eventually you reach an abandoned, ruined farmhouse, partially burned, but protected from the elements by an overhanging rocky outcropping. Sitting on a stool in the ruins of the farmhouse, is a slender young woman with blue hair, the colour of the ocean on a sunny day. She smiles when she sees you.
"Hello Pike. It's been a while."
"Yes Alysha, it has."
