They started their march into the WIllowlands, and when they finally reached their destination; they stood brave in the face of danger.
Creatures gathered around them, and Clare proved to them the truth of the Emperor Turtle. Emperor Turtle was sent to be judged by the Order, and the animals took foxes in as beloved allies.
