the woman had not come to her. and so the prophet, sparkling with a dark curiosity, fell like a long shadow across the trail left by the pregnant woman and her companion. for days she orbited the border of the pack, never approaching. she kept to the shadows and watched.
the golden woman left. returned, with a child. almalexia knew this by the scents which led away and then back toward the border.
and when all had settled, the shadow parted from her immaterial brethren, her hidden place among trees, and she approached the outskirts of packland.
and she sang out, her voice stretching and reaching for the woman and her daughter.
i will be watching. i will be waiting.
and the prophet receded into the night.
