Description

A nasty storm was rolling through tokonta, ripping up the land and forcing residents of nearby towns and tribes to take shelter in their homes. Kira and her small pack of tokotas has been exploring the Anitriit Vally for crafting supplies when it blew in. She adjusted in her saddle to get a better view over her large black fire mount, Storm. How ironic she thought to shelf as her warm breath caused a stream of steam to form on her lips and the back of Storm’s ears. They could see the sky getting dark on the horizon, but the vally had little to no places to take shelter among the rocky knolls. “Let’s go.” She said in a firm tone to the two standard built tokotas bellow her before snapping Storm’s reins and sending the female dire charging in the opposite direction. Night, the lilac black shirt mane took off after them first and Alva, the more submissive seal halfmane took up the rear. They ran as far as they could it through the valley, scratching up their paws as they leaped over boulders that littered the ground. They ran until the storm was nipping at their heels and Kira became frantic. Luckily, they stumbled upon what appeared to be an old abandon mine shaft and Kira ushered everyone inside. Her wet and exhausted tokotas were in no condition to venture further into the cavern so Kira decided to keep everyone held up in the cave’s opening for the night or however long they had to in order to wait out the storm. Storm used her large body to block out the rain, but unfortunately also most of the light; leaving Night and Alva to lick their scrapes in the dark. Kira removed everyone’s tack so they could rest comfortably and they all huddled together to rest for the night.
In the morning everyone awoke to the sounds of birds and the odd bah of goats. They emerged from the cave to see, sure enough, a considerably large herd of mountain goats. Alva poked her elegantly curved nose out of the cave’s mouth and came face to face with a scruffy old billy goat. The goat shouted at her, sending her flailing back into the cave, tumbling over Night in the process.
Everyone looked back at the nervous toko as she cowered behind Night with her tail between her legs. Night seemed unimpressed with her cowardice and simply strolled past the guard goat and into the open field. Storm and Kira followed behind her, then Alva, but only because she was afraid to be left alone in the cave. As she exited the guard goat gave her a another loud bahh, sending her running to catch up with the front of the pack.
