That night, Seal only managed a half-sleep.
She heard a song and it pulled her from bed.
Barely lucid, she sleepwalked past Brecheliant’s gateway into the vast Meadowlark Prarie. Stars twinkled overhead and Seal could’ve sworn she heard them speak.

that night, chani had tried to sleep.
her hunts had been unsuccessful today, and so with gnawed belly chewing on the edge of her energy, the girl got up and walked the meadow once more.
it was odd to be so far from the sea. she did not like it, and yet it was exhilarating.
a song in french floated beneath the moon. chani had not yet seen she was not alone.

Her sienna, half-lidded eyes watched the constellations, hypnotized. It was as if the stars held hands and danced around the moon like a Maypole. Their songs were quiet – barely a whisper – and they began to say things in an ancient tongue that Seal was on the cusp of parsing when…
A prodigious feeling, like she was falling from a great height, made her suddenly lurch backward. Seal gasped loudly, now awake. Her eyes blinked, disoriented, as she tried to understand where she was and how she got there.

the other girl started. chani bristled. the song was broken, but not the hold of the moon over them both. in starlight she approached, comforted by the slighter lines of the other wolf which said girl and not woman. in this, chani was more welcoming.
she tipped her head toward the sky, saying nothing as the other girl seemed to collect herself. was maman looking at these same lights even now?

Seal blinked and her pupils dilated as she traversed from a dream to the waking world. It was as if the world grew darker, less illuminated, and quiet… much quieter.
A gentle breeze made the long grass brush together. It was then she spied another wolf’s silhouette. She gasped again, startled until her vision remedied enough to understand it was a wolf she knew.
“Chani?” Seal asked the seawolf as she squinted as if testing a mirage. “What are you doing here?” Seal looked around.
What am I doing here? she thought to herself.
