Ankyra Sound Remember, lads and lassies, fairy tales weren't fun stories. They were warnings.

It was the whistle that woke her up.  So quiet, at first it seemed like a part of her restless dream.  But as she came to consciousness, she glanced over to the entrance and blearily saw Reyes aside, lying near the opening.

Reyes, she said softly, rising from the pile and stepping over to join him.    He was not leaving, but she wouldn't chance it.  Children could wander, even so young as these.  Little one, what are you doing?  

She sat down beside him and ran her nose along his flank affectionately, looking out to see if something had caught his attention.  Nothing but the sea.
