Shadess had known the sound to be a sacred place to her people. The details of the story she did not know, but knew many a battle had been fought here. A war won of her grandmothers and since had been a place they watched over and made sure it didn't fall into the paws of greed again.
Shadess strode here in the quiet. The forest of towering trees was dark and thick and she felt that it was only by luck that she was ever able to find the secluded strand beyond. She followed the scent of saltwater at first and then as it grew stronger, she followed a sound: a sound of crashing waves with something... shrill. It wasn't until she was on the beach did she realize it was screaming which she had heard.
Waves crashed. The night deep, savor the blood moon overhead. Screams further. The mahogany wolf followed the source through the veil of mist and shadows and came to a little cavern along the beach. Within, the thick scent of blood and birth. Shadess didn't intrude, yet woofed lowly and leveled her head with the opening.

You be alone, woman?The woman of Sapphique would never have to endure a birthing alone, lest they willed it so. They were surrounded with strength and protection of their own. Maybe this one had someone Shadess could seek?
