Upon their return to Muria's treehouse in Eleusis, Skye and Xel learned that Muria had incitizened Thriaf as a formal member of Eleusis. As he daydreamed, a vivid [[illusion]] formed before them of a grove with three willow trees by a pond, and of his mother. As he snapped out of his reverie, the two asked him of what they had seen. Not realising he had conjured an illusion, he became panicked at what he saw as insanity, and in an instant fires sprung to life in the room. When it was pointed out that he started the fires, this only frightened and confused him further. Muria became agitated, having witnessed the illusion of Skye tossing a log from the fire onto the floor, and ordered everyone out before she called the guards. | Upon their return to Muria's treehouse in Eleusis, Skye and Xel learned that Muria had incitizened Thriaf as a formal member of Eleusis.

Later, a small group of forestals returned to Muria's treehouse, including Greyda, the [[Speaker]] of Eleusis. Thriaf again started a fire, but denied doing so. Having gotten better, he opted for a breath of fresh air in the woods, and took Greyda up on the offer of discussing citizenship as they walked. Greyda, Thriaf, and a few others journeyed through the Eastern Ithmia before finally happening upon the young man's former grove on the edge of the [[Dryad Burial Grounds]]. He told those gathered that he left Eleusis, both in location and membership, because he did not want to endanger them any more. He knew that fire stalked him wherever he went, robbing him of everything he loved. When he became scared, flames would flow from his fingertips against his will | Later, a small group of forestals returned to Muria's treehouse, including Greyda, the [[Speaker]] of Eleusis.

Despite offers by other forestals to help tame his powers, he insisted that he go to Ulangi to speak with his father about what had happened. Skye was reluctant to do this, as she knew that the shock of finding that he had killed his father would only trigger in young Thriaf another surge of wildfire. However, he urged her to bring him there, and lacking any real argument against it, she acquiesced. | Despite offers by other forestals to help tame his powers, he insisted that he go to Ulangi to speak with his father about what had happened.
