The World of Rhune

Kari straightened up at Trei's low whistle, the same whistle she'd heard a few hours ago, a slightly different whistle from the one she'd heard a couple days ago. She straighted quickly and was thankful Zayde was asleep, he would have bolted and ran had he seen or heard the Howlers as they came in. Kari realxed but drew her bow. She had no clue what Trei would do with those beasts, and she didnt want to take chances. Zay then flipped over and moaned pitifully again, making Kari wish her handmaid was here, who was known for her healing abilities. But she could never go back, to Xirra would be the best place, she would take Zayde to Xirra. Kari willfully kept herself awake, and the Howlers made no noise, but they smelled awful. She wrinkled her nose and kept watch, one hour, two hours, midnight, past, another hour. Zay had had about six fever attacks and Kari was thankful for the herbs she'd collected. They kept most of the pain at bay for Zayde, and helped disipate the poison. Kari breathed out, and sucked in a big mouthful of horrible dog breath. "Uhh, you dogs smell, all of you" Kari said, loud enough to be heard, quiet enough so Zayde wouldnt hear if he were asleep. She blinked the sleep from her eyes, and saw yellow eyes staring at her. What're you looking at? Pups, you barely deserve your name, compared to Phantus. They're twice as worse as actual Phantoms and you, combined. Karillian worked herself up. It felt good, made her feel like she had power to, not just some dirty runaway girl who couldnt do anything but cook. I'll show them she thought, letting a smile slip onto her face. She'd even show Zayde.
