The Sentinels Well we hurt each other

time and time again deirdre had tried to hunt within the ocean. three times she had failed utterly and completely; she knew she needed to be taught and guided, but foolishly she exhausted her efforts alone. on the morrow, she would request her fathers aid on this front; she wanted to help donnelaith in its trying times. many insisted that she and emaleth eat in these times, though deirdre wished all others would eat, too. she comprehended the world had changed in a way that did not bode well for those that walked upon it, but any moment she could deirdre exerted her efforts in doing whatever she could to make it right.

she had heard osprey had her children; as she escaped the ocean today, beaten and tired, it was her friend she thought of. as she thought of the woman, there came a glowing light—deirdre knew what it meant, and did not question it. she did not sprint after it, either, as she usually might; she moved slowly, keeping her energy in check as her father had bid. the babe soon came upon the whelping den and then, the phosphorous whisp was gone; she paused here, letting out an excited little whine, smelling something so very new to her and wondering what, exactly, it meant.
