TULA: Here she comes.  

ZONN: (terrified) Uhhhh …

Chera: Do you want some numbwort?

ZONN: No.

ZONA: (with a shove) Go, Your Majesty.  Greet the Queen of the Moon Tribe. We’ll all wait here.

TULA: If she starts to do more than just draw a little blood, we’ll intervene.

ZONN: Oh, thanks.


TULA: I made friends with one of your local hawks here and sent her a message practically as soon as we got out of the cave and you and Zona had stopped beating on each other. So - I guess she decided that she’d come and see you for herself.

ZONN: (incredulously) That’s … that’s Ipola?

ZONA: Oh yes. I can see her now.

MENTL: Good eyes.

ZONN: Ipola … coming here …

ZONA: Yep.

ZONN: And riding on the back of a giant bloody eagle! GODS can that woman make an entrance!

ZONA: Yep.

ZONN: (suddenly) Oh … oh God. She’s going to kill me.

ZONA: Don’t worry, Father. I’ll protect you.

ZONN: (Gazing into the sky) Just look at that!

MENTL: What - wait, I see it now. What …?

ZONN: It’s an Aburor. Don’t usually see them this far east.

MENTL: Okay, what the hell is -

JEEVIK: The Aburori are raptor birds of gigantic size. They are not numerous, and their territory is in the high mountains in northern Erogenia, so I am informed. I have never had the privilege of witnessing one in flight until now. They are friendly with the Hawk Tribe.

ZONN: Ipola used to have some friends among them. Made a pact during the war where we basically keep our arrows to ourselves, and they don’t steal our cattle or interfere with our troops.
It is a big fellow. Something odd about its head. It’s … something on it?

TULA: It’s Mother.

ZONN: WHAT
