Xavier started feeling confused at what Professor Elwood just said. Did seers REALLY decide what they were going to do based on animal footprints? Now since they had all seen the tracks, did that mean that this was going to be all of their fates? Or did it only count when you are the first one to find them?
It sounded slightly bats to her, but she put those thoughts aside for now so that she could hopefully find something interesting and get some points for the ravens. And she didn't have to wait long, just by a pile of pretty pale rocks were a set of footprints.
At first she couldn't determine if these footprints were cat or dog footprints. Both kinds of animals seemed to leave similar ones. She assumed it was dog, because cats don't leave toe footprints, but these tracks did. At least that's what she remembered, these might still be cat. The footprints vanished at the edge of the rocks, the ground at this point onward was covered more in small rocks that sand, so further searching would more than likely be pointless.
After observing them for a long time, she stood up and raised her hand. "Professor, these footprints start off between two piles of rocks, but then they enter this clearing of sand where there are nor boundaries from the left or the right. But then they keep going and they meet a small wall of rocks, and that's when they stop." She shrugged and continued, "I don't know for sure what this would mean to a seer, but it COULD mean that I am or will be or have been trapped on a path going only one way. Like I didn't have a choice or something because there was something blocking me from going anywhere else on either side. But then the boundaries vanish and I am free to go whatever direction I want. But then I keep going forward and I curve to the right a bit and that is when something blocks me from going anymore in that direction." She paused, before saying awkwardly, 'Not that I am saying this about myself, you know."
