As Risha was much taller than Ziya, she was soon ahead of her sister despite lugging a large crossbow along. After chasing the tendril halfway down the mountain it retreated into a white boulder the size of a house.

Going by the assumption the sisters marked the location on the map and went back to camp to prepare.
