Neverwinter Forest guarding the tower

Eshe had heard the howl, but she had been patrolling and marking other sectors of their land when the sound had come. Kaskara and Keiran were likely at the other edge, and Kyron wherever was necessary.... they had their bases loaded, so to speak, but Eshe had not suspected that any trouble would come. She had believed they had made their peace with Silvertip after the meeting where they had agreed to keep the length of Keiran—from nose to the tip of his tail—distance...

But the instant she had heard it, Eshe was already racing in that direction. The place the call came was enough for her to guess at what was occurring. But it must have been a quick incident, because when she came across Goldhawk and Scimitar there was no third-party to speak of.

Her eyes looked them both over, and there was no injury to speak of. She noted the state of Goldhawk had improved; he was already on his feet and ready for action. Eshe pursed her lips and waited for him to speak, her mind already sorting through the possibilities.
