Io looked to her sister, "Come on, Chan." she tugged lightly at her sister's mane. "Let's gather everyone," she said in a calm voice. "We'll be okay." she tried to reassure her sister.
-----------------------------------
Sengdroma watched as her girls turned to gather the herd. As they moved away she turned making her way slowly down to their lake...the lake where she and Maion had met...where their children were conceived...and where they now made their home at night.
Drashi had said it was a beast that had attacked, her mind immediately thought of a skinwalker. They were far more dangerous than a kalona. Their sharp claws did more damage to soquili than the normal hooves could do. In all of her training, Sengdroma had never had to defend herself from the paws of a skinwalker enemy.
She took a deep breath and took her place in her nightly bed. Their clearing felt so empty knowing that Maion would not soon be walking up next to her, laying with her until she fell asleep. She looked up to the moon over head, praying to the Spirits to give her guidance.
The breeze began to blow gently, the sweet smell of the moon blossoms filling her nostrils. She closed her eyes, steadied her breathing, and cleared her mind. A plan began to form as she rested.

Chandra was reluctant to leave her mother but knew it was what she wanted. She nodded, kissed her on the check and followed Io. "Ok." She whispered, and deep inside she prayed for many things.
1. That her father was safe.
2. That her mother succeed and saved him.
3. That they both returned hom safe.
And finally.....
4. That she was strong enough to stand in until her parents returned.
