K'mana couldn't even raise her arm, the pain was excruciating and she closed her eyes for what she knew would be the last time...
A faint whistling sound echoed through the night and she felt the warm sticky spray of blood on her face.
She heard an inhuman gurgle and realized that the sound had not come from her. She looked up and saw one of the Amalj'aa spears pierced cleanly straight through the center of the beastman's chest. The Amalj'aa fell foward and she rolled out of his path wincing in pain as she rolled onto her broken arm. As she sat up she realized that no one was standing behind where the Amalj'aa had stood.
Standing over the corpse of the first Amalj'aa hunter about 40 yalms away stood the Miqo'te woman, *grinning* and rolling her shoulder in a stretch.
K'mana slowly lifted herself from the ground and searched the dead Amalj'aa, taking a iron ring of keys. She slowly made her way down the dune and over to the camp and the waiting women. The mood was subdued and no one talked as K'mana freed the two women from their leg irons.
The miqo'te woman spoke up "That was a foolish but brave risk you took young one, but I am grateful you are here." She looked over K'mana and dressed and splint K'mana's broken arm as she spoke. "What tribe do you hail from?"
K'mana winced as her arm was set and answered "K'mana Haaz of the Hipparion Tribe, and your names?"
The Hyur woman spoke quickly uttering a single word "Brianna."
The miqo'te woman smiled softly "Well K'mana, I am know as K'rei Heleh also of the Hipparion Tribe, though sadly I am the last of my family." She looked over K'mana once more, "You look barely old enough to have completed your trial what are you doing so far out here by yourself?"
K'mana had the grace to look embarrassed as she answered quietly "I umm....abandoned my trial to find you, or at least I think I was meant to find you"
K'rei looked at K'mana evaluating, "Did you indeed, well your little adventure may have well bought your tribe the time they need to survive." K'rei suddenly spoke seriously losing all traces of the earlier humor. "The Amalj'aa here are a small foward scouting party, while we were captive they spoke of their tribes plans to attack and secure a small tribe of miqo'te who lived deep in the Sagolii, we need to get word to your tribe as soon as possible." She looked at Brianna, "What do you plan to do it maybe be safer to travel together but we may very well be walking into a battle."
Brianna shook her head and stood stretching her legs "I am bound for Ul'dah, I will not be caught unaware agian." She turn to K'mana and saluted "K'mana Haaz of the Hipparion Tribe. I owe you my life, should you ever find yourself in Ul'dah and require assistance, ask for Brianna Hawke at the quicksand, Miss Momodi will know how to contact me." With that she turned walked into the desert towards Ul'dah.
K'rei looked back at K'mana "Will you be able to travel?" she asked indicating the arm.
K'mana looked at the older huntress "It hurts like the seven hell's but my tribe is in danger, I would crawl back if I had to." She looked up into the night sky and got her bearings and lead the way out camp, they could travel for a few hours before they would need to rest.

5 suns later, a battered and worn K'mana walked into camp followed by a young adult miqo'te woman with a muscular build and short black hair.
