I think the second idea.why don't they turn back in a few posts of conversation? then Chenoa would meet the other nightwings, and she would be just in time to do the 3rd continent mission.
Or do you want to do a different mission? Like have Ender and Chenoa try to start a trading post up towards the Icewings? Then she could see her friends up there, and Ender could do some more traveling! That sounds like a much better plan.

But if they go to the Rainforest, they’re bound to be led to Blackflower’s mission, so I’ll try and turn the story. Let’s try the LeafWigns first because @Bakbuk has a character we can meet.
Ender’s face appeared slightly upset. *Perhaps we shouldn’t go to the village.* He thought. *It seems like they might have a lot on their talons right now, thought the fire looks out out for the most part. So that’s good.* Ender looked over at her as he stopped, flapping midair. *Should we try visiting the IceWings or the LeafWing?*
