The grounds had been oddly silent today to K'deiki's ears - such as they were in her age. There had been the usual bustle of huntresses in and out in the morning and early afternoon, and the steady chattering of tias and others taking care of other chores and preparations, but there had been no laughter of children, no shrieks as the ran pell-mell through the cluster of tents, tearing up sand and bowling over any unsuspecting brother or sister who happened to be in their path, and no youthful cheers at the return of the huntresses.
The silence had weighed on K'deiki's heart, and so the calm, youthful voice that called into her tent filled her with warmth down to every aching joint. She turned rheumy eyes towards the door and crinkled her face into a smile. "Come in, dear. Tell me what you and your sisters have been up to today."

"Song dogs barking at the break of dawn, lightning pushes the edges of a thunderstorm; and these streets, quiet as a sleeping army, send their battered dreams to heaven."
