Feed Her To The Wolves wrote: Genji had been fast asleep, catching up on the many hours he had lost while also resting from the sudden swinging around Esidisi had put him through. Tonight, he had fallen victim to another nightmare, though it was unlike one he had had before. In the nightmare, he was running, running as fast as his legs could carry him. A metallic scent stained the area, plaguing his senses, muffled cries of the unknown surrounding him. The moonlight acting as his only source of light alongside the lit fires, all he did was move forward. Panic had gripped him, despite not knowing who or what he was trying to escape from. It was only when a sharp pain began on his back above his heart that beads of sweat began to dot his forehead, feeling the pain beginning to increase before he gave a violent flinch, his eyes snapping open to meet a wide awake Eury.

He let a sigh, wiping the light layer of sweat from his face and rubbing his eyes. It was just a nightmare, nothing more. He reassured himself. "Eury, I've only slept for a few hours." He protested despite being awake himself, the faint memory of adrenaline still pumping through his veins. Though seeing the determination in her eyes, he pulled himself up, watching as she took his hand and ushered him out the cave hurriedly.

"What're we-" He began, pausing midsentence as high pitched wails rang through his ear. It sent shivers up his spine; it was ominous, and he didn't trust it. At first he thought it might've been some wild animal, though the closer he listened, he knew it wasn't anything from around this area. Eury's rambling also concerned him as well, knowing that she didn't really talk to herself like this unless she was beating the hell out of another statue. He was beginning to get increasingly more reluctant the farther out they went, hoping they could find their way back.

"Eury!" He barked, grabbing her by the shoulders, "Do you hear yourself right now? We could be getting ourselves into something bad here... I just don't trust it." He admitted. "I think we should just head back."

Kars had awakened overhearing Esidisi and Abba argue momentarily. Opening his eyes and turning to Eury, he paused, his breath freezing in his throat, seeing as she wasn't there. He felt the ground from she had lay before, but saw that it didn't retain any warmth, meaning she had left a while ago. He knew if she were kidnapped, he would've woken up and dealt with the intruders himself, or if not him then Esidisi or maybe Genji, but even so he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

"West? Why would she chase the wind?" He snapped towards Abba, thinking she might be lying considering her dislike towards Eury. "Have you not seen her lately?" Abba hissed quietly. Her one thing that she turned to Kars and got angry about was his lack of paying attention, "She's been looking out onto the wind. She hated that city..What do you think she's gonna do when she get out there, huh?"

Abba for once talked logically putting hard facts into Kars' head when she spoke, " Here's one option, Eurythmic isn't one to stay in one place. She likes things to change..She won't settle down...Of course she will run away when she has the chance! Settling down is nothing but a farce to her." It was such a reality striking moment yet it all made sense. She was always aloof and distant sometimes staring off into the distance, but the girl just running off was an explanation for everything. "If she arrives to the city and you've claimed her she will just use your name to get whatever you own then leave." Abba put her hand through her hair, "Or she might have been chasing the wind because she wanted whatever was in it. Meaning that if you follow the wind then you'll be able to find her. Problem is...she's faster than us. Genji is faster than us...You have around 48 hours until she disappears for good."

Eisidisi hearing how Abba spoke seemed unphased like he predicted Eury would just get up and run off at the best oppurtunity. But Genji was something more important to him. It was something that made him feel whole in a way.... Genji was protected by Eisidisi. Immediately Eisidisi sat up not caring about what was there grabbing Genji's blankets and walking out into the cloudy day. It felt as cool as night, but just a bit warm and without question he said, "Eurythmic is okay on her own, but Genji can't survive on his own. He has no inherent survival skills." he turned grunting at Kars, "Learn to control your girl next time." His hissing voice became louder with each time, "And next time don't shout at Abba when she means well..." Eisidisi's tone had turned totally different now that he decided to follow and a few moments later he heard that high pitched call that Eurythmic had heard earlier. It sounded like a horn so he ran faster towards the sound. Eury wouldn't of gone far if she was with Genji. He even went past what looked like footprints of Eury in circles, but headed west as the footprints got more spread apart indicating she ran.

Eury's eyes darted around not comprehending what he said, but she began to jog at a moderately fast pace for her species which was...probably human running speed. She had followed the sound finally following it's destination which was a large settlement of humans. They were different from the usual homo sapiens that they saw. More stocky with wider features and wore more fur.

They were larger in build as well, but they seemed intelligent. She just called them sub-humans, but these were later called Neanderthals later. Unlike Yughe and Emoc who wore feathers and golden bands...these humans were carrying spears and wore deer hides. They even reminded her of sometimes what her own people wore except with the glamorous jewlery of the humans. Upon eye contact with the Neanderthal male blowing the horn she jogged up to him taking it from him and blowing into it herself. She smiled blowing into it again. He didn't seem to have a bad reaction to her though. Being significantly more lovely in features than them she stood out as something to protect to them as they all gazed over at her. Exchanging something in a language unknown to her she responded back in her own language, but seemed to enjoy it.... It was lovely to her and they seemed unphased by Genji.

Dragging her into a tent into a woman with a painted face she was faced with someone smaller than her who resembled Old Woman, but less youthful and more aged than ever. Her grey hair wildly curled around her shoulders and was full of dust, but she put her hands on Eury's face dusting some marks on her, but then put her hand up and declared something in her language. Eury and Genji were pulled out to where their cheeks were given two lines and one right on their chin and forehead in red paint. Eury just snorted enjoying the treatment. These people just had not even questioned her. Every time she got up she would be put back down until the old lady shuffled over and spoke in their language in a heavy accent, "You are woman of the Mountains and you are man of the Lean Foot." Lean foot is what they called the people of Genji's species, "I only speak of your Mountain People. You are gods to us. We are Hunters and we gather." she spoke slowly in syllables unlike Eury who could've already finished the phrase.

A few of the children spoke their siblant language and ran over to Genji curious about his scarf beginning to pull on it, "You were called here by the Horn? You came with purpose." she momentarily elaborated on it, "Are their anymore of Mountain people with you. You are small for Mountain people." While Genji was occupied with the children she repeated fastly, "We are migrating. I am with my companion, his friend, my cousin, and my brother."

"Lean footed man is your brother?" the woman repeated, "Ah, I Kira." (no not Yoshikage Kira) she said while Eury nodded putting her hand up to her chest, "Eurythmic."

"You have mate? Do you have cub?"

"No, my people do not have offspring. We call them children."
