Herbalists' Cache cen

Other Shore could not tell if Star Eater had said too much or too little, or just enough. But there was a spark, and - in a blink - it had become a wildfire.

She heard one name. Ghenaya.

And then - too late. Another dark body reached the child before she had slipped far enough to find the pup. She had not made it far enough into the den, and Ghenaya was gone.

No - ! Too late! Dammit, too late! TOO LATE!

Eyes locked onto the figure, and Other Shore lunged at the Lanzadoii woman, sprinting, running, as chaos and horror alike dawned upon her. She heard a snarl rip past her ear, and the surging of bodies and blood - but all she had in sight was Ghenaya.

And now, Ghenaya, too, was disappearing.

Other Shore let out an involuntary screech - GHENAYA! SOMEBODY HELP! - and hoped someone would heed her desperate call as she pelted after the woman.
