Stone Circle Crescent moon

@Alarian

Steph trotted through the forest, slowing as she broke through the edge and headed towards Stone Circle. It held even more of a special place now that some of the stones were named. The most recent body placed here, Cebra, laid at the base of the Warrior Stone. Steph hadn't known the women well, but she must have been some kind of strong for Valette to honor her in such a way. She sat down on her haunches next to the stone, hoping to draw some of that strength into her. Steph didn't feel particularly strong, but she knew that would have to change. And soon.

She stayed for a while, but knew she needed to get back to patrolling. Ever since Tulimaq had graced their borders with his presence, she had upped her search of any signs that he passed them. So far, nothing. Maybe he had gotten the hint and stayed away. After all, he had been training Merrit apparently outside their home. Why not continue that?

Her trotting came to a slow halt as she paused to catch her breath. The sun had settled a couple hours ago, and the temperature had dropped. The warm air that came from her maw was visible even in the darkened night.
