Uncertain times

I am uncertain of this world on one hand i finally have a chance to fight people other then Mishal on the other we've been assailed by at least a dozen people/ creatures on route to Great Forks, The hostility of the locals aside this world seems to have an abundance of strong individuals like my siblings and I. It also appears that somehow people like Mae and Storm are able to identify the magnitude of the power dwelling with in us i don't know how but it sounds like a useful skill to learn to gauge potential threats.
There is allot that we need to learn about this world, it's customs and those who can help us find The Five Days Of Darkness.
