Unwanted Recognization Part 2
Firestorm walked through the Human camp to the young one's pin.
They were leaving today and they would take him with them. If the others knew that yet or not.
She stood out of the Human-Guard's sight and SENT.
(Blade) In her minds eye she could see him jolt up on his cot. (You will HUNT with us today.)
(We're leaving?) He asked, disbelieving.
(Yes,) She called her Brother-Wolf* to her. (Blade, I want you to get on behind me on Blaze.)
She rode up confidently on her meter-tall red-furred mount-brother.
She rode out from behind the Human hut and directly up to the Guard.
"Kiln." she spoke and he looked up at her. "The young one hunts with us today."
The Guard shook his head and sneered. "No, Wolf-Bitch."
She did not get up mad. He was too close to the truth. She is female, and part Wolf. And female wolf is a Bitch.
"It is time for him to learn our.ways." She spoke, undeterred.
"The Chief said nothing of this." He spoke back, sure of himself.
"Then shall we call up to him and ask?" Thistle said coming up behind her.
The guard gulped. "N-n-no. No, Sor. That will not be necessary." The Guard opened the Door.
'These foolish Humans. They fear Thistle and not me?' She thought. 'They fear the Tracker, not the Huntress? They fear the Nose and Eyes, but not the Claws?'
(Clam, sister.) Thistle sent to her.
She felt her body relax.
'Damn.' She thought. It was well known that Elf twins have mind-bonds. Bonds that allow some emotional control over some more jumpy members of the bonds. She really hated that.
But Sometimes to the point that members of Twin pairs can only Recognize, or lifemate with, members of other Twin pairs.
That bothered her too. How many Twin-Pairs could there be? In the entire remembered-History of her tribe, she and Thistle were the only ones!
She gave Thistle a dirty look and waited as Blade walked out.
The boy walked out bravely and pulled himself onto Blaze with little help from Firestorm.
Once she gave him a few pointers on keeping his balance while riding a wolf on a hunt, in the Elvin-language of course, they rode toward the City Gate.
There they donned Winter Furs over their clothes, then their weapons.
Each of the Hunters gained a short hunting dagger. Seeker, as Spearman, also gained a spear. Thistle, as tracker, also gained a longer hunting dagger. Firestorm, as Huntress, gained a Human Long Sword, a symbol to lead the hunt with but not very practical. Heartsong, as Healer, was given a bow and quiver, to keep her out of direct combat.
Their Human Escort came to the on horses and they all began to leave.
Thistle stopped them and gave Blade a small child's bow with a child's quiver. The lad slid the bow over his shoulder and tied the quiver to his belt.
After gaining a nod of approval from His Huntress he wrapped his arms around her and let the wolf move them like one being.
* RedWolf had RECOGNIZED Bloodsong, thus their children were born Elves. The other 4 that made it to adulthood were born and stayed as wolves. They are Blaze (Male, Firestorm's mount), Stormcloud (Male, Heartsong's mount), BirdSong (Female, Seeker's mount) and Sharptooth (Female, Thistle's mount).
