Spiral of Events:Strength of All

A female Nard hid behind a group of rocks, trying to keep her young child safe. She knew what the consequences would be if she got caught. The area where they hid was not exactly stable, either. The rocks and dirt were soft and moist. Every move she made could be her last. She cast a soft weary eye on her young one. She desperately needed the playing baby to keep quiet. She growled softly, trying not to be heard. As her child started to wander away, her Nard ears focused on the group she was hiding from. They stood only a few feet away from her. Their grunts and growls were unmistakable.

"Our king has left us with the woman who is not one of us. It is time we test our metal, our crystal against him and the woman. When they return, we shall lie in wait." One of them growled the plan to the others.

Her child stepped on a pile of loose rocks. He fell down, creating a ruckus. The group of conspirators heard. Heads perked toward their direction.
