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
TULA: So - as pleasant as this has been, we need to start thinking about how to get ourselves back to the Valley Of The Moon.
ZONN: I can probably help you there. For you three, it shouldn’t be impossible to climb over the blocked pass and strike southwest over the lower peaks. That way you’ll avoid the worst of the Urtt territory - well, what was the Urtt territory twenty five years ago. If you take my advice you’ll head due south for at least two weeks of solid trekking before you go west again.
ZONA: It will take months of walking to finally get home.
MENTL: I dunno. Maybe we can work out something else. We have some … resources. Maybe I can figure out how all three of us can … (Sees them all staring up at the sky) All right - what, what?
