Moonspear stars

Falling stars streaked through the sky. Set ablaze, shooting off into the void of the night sky. Elentari had heard of the tale of how this mountain was once struck by such a star. Wiping out it's former inhabitants, leaving dark, scarred marks in it's wake.

But this display of stars raining through the sky, she did not fear them. Possibly because of her namesake. Or that she had not been present, back when the tragedy struck. Or maybe her common sense played a role, while she watched. None were close. None struck the earth. 

That made this night no less un-predictable. Sialuk's panicked cry sent her rushing to the side of her lover, to instill calm. Looking slightly less slim than usual, she arrived to find the wise Moonwoman had gotten there first. Doing her duty as any loving mother would with a child's frazzled nerves. Another boy was there too, seemingly transfixed by the display in the sky.

Mothers to be, they carried the future of Moonspear. For the sake of their unborn children, she would air on the side of caution. She nosed under the pale chin of each woman, assuring them and taking comfort. Steely eyes turned towards lower elevation. But here she would wait a moment longer, for others to group with them.
