"We have a plan that I think will make the best use of each of our skills," Aspakos said, gesturing to one of the slate boards sitting nearest to Hauke that depicted an intricate series of chains wrapped around the young Frost Walker's horn.
"We have two plans, if the Mother of Trees is willing to hear me out," Erkembalt said. "But it depends entirely on her ability to regrow a severed horn. I've been told that witches possess a unique magic that can regrow…"
"No," Ashlynn said, immediately putting a stop to the artificer's train of thought without letting him finish his sentence. "I do know the magic that you speak of, but the costs to use it are far beyond what anyone should be asked to pay. Unless you're willing to sever your tail and blind your eyes to pay the cost, you should forget any notion of solving this problem by severing his horn," she said firmly, giving the artificer a very pointed look until he nodded in understanding.
