Dragoncrest Cliffs twilight stone

Chacal can be skipped for a few rounds <3

Chacal heard the panic in Astera's voice, and wondered what the matter could be. Her plea sounded desperate, so Chacal wasted no time in rushing to the cliffside to peer down toward Sirensong beach, silhouetted against the setting sun behind her. She searched first the distant waters of the horizon, as though expecting to see a surge headed their way. When she dropped her gaze to the beach, she could see Astera there, and more importantly, she could see where Astera was looking. 

Out toward the ocean, there was a strip from the shore leading away that was dark, and free of waves. Instantly, Chacal recognized the shape and looked out further to see the pale form of Suzu in the water. She gnashed her teeth together- Suzu knew better than to go out into a riptide! The crescent-shaped curve of the beach should have been obvious enough. She squinted, and it was only when she saw something dark and otter-like on her daughter's back that she realized what had happened. 

She couldn't tell who it was, but she knew it was one of their youngest children. 

She could see from her vantage point that Suzu was doing the right thing, and swimming parallel to the shore to avoid getting pulled directly out to sea. Chacal howled encouragement. 

"Toward de waves, to de North-
dey will bring you back to shore!"

She couldn't stand and watch- not if Suzu and whoever it was that she was carrying needed help. She began to run for the tunnel, hoping she would make it to the shore in time, and that Suzu had the strength to fight the current.
