A great murmur arose in the glen; 'Who would go with Francis and Sebastian? ' Crow had already determined that he must go. Who could stop him? Of course, Worm would go; they needed his glow-ability. Robin was worried about Crow. She knew hew would insist on going and she wondered how many wingeds Creator would permit on the journey.
Raccoon was sure his talents would be needed. He smiled to himself, a knowing smile of sweet satisfaction. He would not campaign; he would merely wait for them to come to him, seeking his talents for the trip.
Vole had already given up any hope of going. Surely her eyesight would keep her from the adventure. She sighed quietly as she listened to Rabbit go on and on about his reasons for being needed on the trek.
Francis and Sebastian were deep in a planning conversation. It was decided that they would gather supplies for three days including tents, food, water, a mule (not to be counted as one of the seven), and medical supplies. Sebastian was to leave in the morning for his home town, Folignio to gather donations. The would meet up in Assisi to begin their journey to the Holy Lands together. Enrique would join them from his home town of Perugia.
The planning was done. Both men were exhaused, so they embraced and went their separate ways to sleep.
