The seven-day journey that was supposed to be sightseeing turned into an expedition that threatened to take their life before they made it to the Verdant Maw. Visha constantly had to use the Rite of Vitality. She was constantly tired.
Although she would eventually get the power back, being constantly tense and throwing away life force like it didn't exist was taking its toll on Visha. It wasn't until a section of her hair started turning white that she truly understood how serious the matter was.
That day, it was Uri who saw it. Because of the constantly tense environment, they had not had time to take care of Visha the way they would want to. This led to them neglecting her and only noticing the problem when it was too late.
Finding another patch of land with only rock was hard to do. Most of the spaces around them were completely green. Even now, choosing a place to stay is dependent on whether the trio will be able to run quickly enough.
