Two Eyes Cenote sky raven

Heph had received news of the coronation with excitement mingled with sorrow. The lowlands, a place she had heard of, a place she had dreamed of going with Samani and her children, a place she wanted to see. And yet she did not hesitate. It would be a grand gathering and a rare opportunity. Raiyuk was going and they stopped by Moontide, a chance to spend more time with Seal, granddaughter to Towhee and Phox too in a way.

The earth beneath her was welcome, it was a long distance to travel and yet she marked the major points, let her sight and instincts again dictate the path that they took rather than knowledge and it felt good to be once more on shifting sands. When they reached the edge of the desert she chased after pronghorn so that she would have a pelt and a fine skull with tines on top to bring as a gift.

She would offer conversation and laughter if her companions were inclined on the journey, pointing out interesting or even dangerous features. But when they approached they were greeted by a canine with a voice that carried well and who spoke with dips in each enunciation that seemed to echo off the stone.

Approaching she tipped her own head, not wishing to dislodge her gifts by mirroring the unfamiliar deeper movement of the other. "We're honored to be here. Thank you." She slid the pelt from her own shoulders, the weight of the skull coming free and making her feel more at ease. "We're from Moontide and Moonspear. My name is Heph. I'm not sure I caught yours?" A brief glance and she stepped back to allow the other two to speak for themselves. They were both younger than her, but not by much, and coming into their own.
