Larksong Grotto for the time is near

it had been unwise of her to come here, to investigate. to linger as long as she did. but if this was the home of reek, then this too was her's. this would be her base of operations, and it would be filled by all manner of herbs, totems, and reliquaries. first she must remove the awful girl who nested here. hosannah felt no true ill-will towards the child, nor to the babe she defended, but she was afraid for her own safety. being met with an angry mother was something she had not expected nor wanted.

the red woman distanced herself from the cavern mouth, feeling much like she did when running from the wolves of the moonlit hills; her short tail tucked briefly upon her flank, and when that memory surfaced, she halted mid-stride and turned her head, narrowing her bright eyes upon the mother. she said nothing. only studied. investigated the curve of the womans face, the gauntness, the colors, and knew she would find cause to punish her one day.

silently, bruskly, hosannah departed from the grotto.
