 The trip into the Basin took two days of somewhat rough travel. Auburn cheerfully sang to herself in her own language while Firehorn grumbled about something innane.

The caravan came to a lurching halt when Proudhorn picked up the scent of blood. Hurrying on, Elyssa plunged through the thickets and stopped short of the trampled area. Claire was lying in the center, next to a stick jammed in the ground. She was surrounded by blood and mayhem, but seemed rather unharmed. Elyssa approached her, who suddenly sat up and screamed.

"God help me!" Claire said, grasping at the sides of her head and curling into a ball. "All of them," She whimpered. "All of them gone. Dead. Those birds..."

"Calm down." Elyssa said in a soothing voice. She noticed Claire's shirt was soaked with blood and several rather infected-looking gashes ran diagonally down her back.

"Go away! You can't help now! Let me die like the rest of them!" Claire sobbed.

Elyssa backed away slowly.

"Don't leave." A shallow and cracked voice said. It was Claire, who had broken down into tears. "They're gone. The birds took them." Claire looked into Elyssa's eyes with pleading.


{more soon!}
