Much has happened since I last rested and reflected. Silver flashes darted through the water and I could see the fish darting back and forth. They had provided a good meal before. Oh how I missed the hunt and chase as I tracked down my food. Now as I stared into the river at my feet it seemed rather appropriate. It all happened suddenly as well like water rushing through the grove in the earth.
It was not long that I had been near this river for the first time, trying to keep a low profile in the grass that one of those that walked on two legs came nearby. Behind her a creature unfamiliar to me, with the head of a dog, walked behind her. It was him that sniffed me out. I did feel fear, what if she attacked? Or went for others of her kind. It was strange though; she brought no weapons and tried to talk to me in their language. A language I did not understand but for a few words. I could smell fear on her too, she looked worried as well. I tried to understand, but did not manage well. I did find her name was Mirran. And then more of her kind arrived, a man stepped out of nowhere it seemed. And once he did I was ready for a fight, he had snuck up upon me stealthy like a hunter. He did not attack though, which was a relief though strange as well. He spoke he name when I gestured though it was hard to pronounce. So he settled for Ely. He drew in the ground, making pictures of my own kind running amongst the grass. It brought back memories of my life before. Of running free in the grasses, of when I was young and teasing my eldars. Then the hunts we had been on, the pride of my parents and then... their deaths. A great sadness made my heart ache.
It was not long when another came as well, a female who he seemed to know. Much to my relief she spoke the tongue of animals and I was able to communicate to some extend with her. She spoke her name as. It seemed they wanted to know why I was here, and with her help and the pictures I was able to explain to some extent why. A fourth man arrived as well, one whose named I picked up at Ni... the rest of his name was hard to speak as well.
To my surprise they had me come with them, until I realized we were going to that place of stone and stink. The place I had only so recently escaped from. I did not want to go there. Was I wrong? Where they leading me off again before I would be trapped and caged. I was angry but afraid too until Ely managed to coax me to come. It was there to my surprise he gave me weapons of the hunt. A spear and bow to defend and hunt with. Though unsure and what to think of this I took the weapons, grateful to have such things with me again. Strange how these beings had been kind to me when others had not.
