I asked Hertz to remain outside the caves as I delved into it's depths, calling out for others, Azeeza helping in her own shrill chirping, as I scouted around, searching for anyone below that might not have heard the news.
Seeing nary a soul, I rose from the depths and nudged Hertz gently, gaze concerned. "Come... We'll return to the Meadow.. Can you make it, or shall I try to carry you?" I wasn't questioning my son's endurance, I was merely concerned. I was unsure if I was strong enough to carry him, but Gods be damned I would try.
Hoofsteps capture my attention, and I raise my head as a black mare approaches, accompanied by another. "Ho, friends, If you've not heard of the Earth God's missive, head to the Meadow. If you have, and come to warn others, I can save you the trip. None are in the cave." I address them, wing brushing Hertz's side.
