Sunset Valley a name she dared not find

A week inland from the sea... She tried to remember what she could. I have never been to the sea, so I may not be of much help. A vivid image entered her mind. I have been by a large valley. A lively place with many hills and lakes. I don't know where it is - just that it is away from where the sun sets. Perhaps that special place is tucked in there?

There was something in the eyes of the boy that told her he knew - he knew of the confusion of not knowing why, why was it all happening? But though it brought her some comfort, it was not important to her. Should the wrath of the Lanzadoii somehow turn upon him, she could do nothing but pray. Urging him to be cautious was the best she could do.

The boy's next question seemed unusual to her. Alright? He seemed concerned, yes - but why? Still, she decided to give him an answer of sorts. Yes, I will be alright. It is the other former pack members who I am concerned for. Compared to them, I am merely exhausted. 

She considered. Perhaps the boy should know a little for his own sake - so he could understand the danger, at least. Some familial ties were ruined that day. These lineages and loyalties are a deadly thing here - one bloodline will incite war for any reason. 

Other Shore sighed. These northern families. I don't know much of one of the packs, but two others I knew of here - I have not heard anything from them. Be careful. Darukaal and Saatsine will easily tear each other apart for anything.
