Shadow

In a truly magnanimous and munificent gesture, the wiry ginger tom actually acknowledged the presence of the spirit.

"Hello there. Something seems different about you."

Direct.. but that can work. Certainly doesn't waste time. She stands by Shadow, content for him to lead. This is his area.

The spirit seemed incensed, but turns towards Shadow and says in an angry tone "I burn." It might seem that was enough as the spirit stopped speaking for a moment, but then in a hiss of flame it continued "this night all things can mingle with all things. It is the way of things." The voice was less angry there for just a moment.

Shadow

The wiry ginger tom pondered his chances, weighed the spirit's words. On balance, careful speaking was still needed here.

"It is the way of things, you speak the truth. Our truce still holds? Has something roused your anger nearby?"

She watches, ready to react if necessary but happy to let Shadow lead. She can feel the tension.

The spirit crackled and hissed, though it made no answer immediately. It didn't stop staring at the cats though. Finally it said "the truce still stands. This is but one night." Silence continued "something has taken advantage of this night to make mayhem. Power is being shifted from some to another. Something greater this way comes."

Shadow

He looked to his fellow cat, ears twitching. It sounded very much like what they had witnessed at the place the Burdens were taken.

"Can you sense where the power transfer is going on?"

She shared the glance with Shadow. It is a knowing glance. They both saw what happened in that large place the burdens were taken. They had disrupted that, this might give them another direction.

The spirit crackled and hissed. "What do I get for this information, guardian?" The spirit bargained.

"Like for like. We will tell you of another place where the power transfer was taking place earlier."

The spirit crackled and hissed "fair." It continued to pace and offered "I sense a disturbance in the hills, near the old hole in the ground."

Shadow

Good enough to leap from, at least. He upheld his part of the bargain.

"We found one in the place where the hurt burdens are taken, a spirit drawing out life energy high up within. Sealing it away stopped it."

As Shadow converses, she thinks about the location they have been given - old hole in the ground in the hills. She tries to recollect if she has ever seen such a place.

Tiger doesn't remember a location like that, though she knows the direction to go. She had ridden there with her burden when they had found the dead boy.

The spirit crackled for a while. Eventually it said "dangerous, something dangerous is going on. Be aware guardian. It is by no means done. The mid of darkness will be the best time for things to cross over."

Shadow

He bristled slightly at the implication that they might be lax in their vigilance or unaware of the time of easy crossing, but now was not the time to make an issue of it.

"We remain alert. We will track down these disturbances."

"So, to the woods then?"

She whispers to Shadow with a nose-tip to tail stretch in readiness.

If their ride to the woods earlier had been in indication, they might need the help of Tiger's burden.

Where do the cats go?

"To the woods," he agreed.
