Foxlock sat alone, his arms wrapped
around his knees as he watched Tito. by Karen
Bledsoe Kestrel sighed quietly. Horizon's
silence had become irritating. Not that the huntress had
asked for her company, but Kestrel thought she might at
least say something! by Karen
Bledsoe "Ack!" Cyclone yelped. "Back,
bug!" "Bad, bad grumpyhead
Highthing!"Twiglet scolded, and spat a wad of wrapstuff into
his face. by Karen
Bledsoe Foxlock leaped and seized hold of the
slender chance, just as the beast lunged. Jaws snapped shut
on empty air, and Foxlock dangled perilously by one
hand. But the thin branch bent again under
his weight and the monster seized his leg in its jaws.
by Karen Bledsoe and Lynn Eldridge
(proving once again that great minds think
alike) Horizon leaped at the monster, locking
her legs behind its head and stabbing it in the bad
eye. by Karen
Bledsoe Nightfire glanced up at Cyclone, and
saw him standing stiff, as if poleaxed. One foot, just
stepping forward, missed the branch and Cyclone toppled into
the swamp. by Karen
Bledsoe Hilltop leaped out of the tree, and
strolled casually over to the troll, passing right under
Stormrook's nose. by Karen
Bledsoe "Um... I..." Tito muttered.
"Well..." "Yes?" Starfall said, a bit
shortly. "I haven't the slightest idea what to
do next... about us, I mean." Tito turned his face to the
ground, and blushed furiously. by Karen
Bledsoe Hilltop leaped from Kruuk's shoulders,
pulling Nightfire down with her. by Karen Bledsoe Foxlock stumbled and fell, rolling
over with a cry. He scrambled back up, peeling off his tunic
as though it burned him. He yanked his daggers off and threw
them down. *Leave me alone!! Leave me
alone!!* by Mara Gil Brilliantly-clothed humans marched in
a procession around the room, accompanied by spotted cats,
bright birds, and all manner of mythical beasts. Who were
these people, and what had been the purpose of all this? The
images were beautiful, but they gave no clue. by Lynn
Eldridge *Father!* Kestrel sent again, but with
far less hope. To the gathered tribemates she said, *I... we
went to bring him back... he had the scroll untied, then a
wave swept Tito off and the scroll with him... and father...
he jumped out after Tito...* by Lynn
Eldridge Foxlock looked up at the pair, finding
something appealing in Briarheart's brave smile. Odd he'd
never really noticed her before. Because she was Allim's
daughter, perhaps? *Is it safe to be standing there?* he
asked in sudden concern. by Mara Gil From between two curtains emerged a
tall, regal elf woman. Her eyes were closed, and she leaned
on the arm of a smaller maiden, a plump lass wearing a short
gown and bracelets studded with sparkling blue
stones. by Tara
Simmons Portraits of Luit, Allim, and Tito
in the Hall of the Watchkeepers. by Karen
Bledsoe Portrait of Bluestone and Shycloud
exchanging hairdressing tips. by Tavie
Phillips Cyclone threatened the white-haired
pureblood with his spear before taking Hilltop joyfully up
in his arms. by Karen
Bledsoe Portraits of Fairsky, Vellah, and
Luit. by Lynn
Eldridge Shycloud healing. by Tavie
Phillips Allim grasped her hand. **Perhaps you
and I should talk about this. Alone.** Vellah inclined her head gracefully.
**All right. Though what you seem to need...** **Where?** Allim asked, drawing in a
long breath. by Tavie
Phillips
