Gwenneth turned her head in fear. What would her boy think if she led him outside of the city walls only to watch as he was captured by those creatures that he most feared? She could see, in her mind's eye, his frightened face turned towards her, asking why, pleading for help. What would he think when she merely sat by and watched?
::I know what must be done,:: she said at last to Gabriel and Rio. ::But I am loth to do it. I would not ask you, Cheysuli-kin, to endanger yourself on my behalf. I will bring the boy. It will be difficult and I do not relish my boy's reaction, but it will be done.::
She lifted her head, and a faint smile played upon her lips.
::The old blood is still strong,:: she said quietly. ::Even in the world's present turmoil, there is friendship to be found. It was not by chance that we met today.::
Gwenneth rose to her feet and stretched. ::I will contact you when I have thought of a plan. I cannot thank you deeply enough for assisting me in this...:: She tilted her head, suddenly looking very solemn. ::I am in your debt, kind Rio, brave Gabriel. When all of this is said and done and you are ever in need of assistance, my lir and I will stand with you.::
Gwenneth nodded, eyes shining, and leapt the river again. She glanced back only once, on the far side, and then turned and trotted off into the brush.
