Torene opened her eyes. The fire had burned down to embers. She rose, stretching lanquidly, like a cat. Stepping carefully over sleeping bodies, she made her way to the cave entrance. The sun was just rising. Off in the near distance the Eradisian walked. Glided would be closer to the truth. Torene had seen her the day before but had not spoken with her.

Torene lifted a hand and cast the woodpecker into the air. Go and eat, little one. She watched the bird fly away, then turned to re-enter the cave.
