For Brendon
The terrible howling has drawn near but fortunately it does not approach for it seems to be focused upon the pursuit of another prey than yourselves. At first it seemed as if a great many wolves were on the hunt or that perhaps the great Wild Hunt of druidic legend had been unleashed in this most desolate of lands. It seems, however, that these pluriform calls sound from within no more than a handful of throats throats whose growling is thick with many voices. These voices are moving rapidly in the direction from which you saw the lightning streak arise and toward which you noted the dragon had been moving.
