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!

"Ack!" Cyclone yelped. "Back, bug!"

"Bad, bad grumpyhead Highthing!"Twiglet scolded, and spat a wad of wrapstuff into his face.

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.

Horizon leaped at the monster, locking her legs behind its head and stabbing it in the bad eye.

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.

Hilltop leaped out of the tree, and strolled casually over to the troll, passing right under Stormrook's nose.

"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.

Hilltop leaped from Kruuk's shoulders, pulling Nightfire down with her.

*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...*

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.

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.

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.
