Dated: August 11/12, after the raid returns to AniWaya
One of the Guardians, Armis, led him to where they had taken the prisoners. With hiscloak wrapped tightly around him, he stepped carefully, but quickly. Sikyatavo jumped with ease next to him as they traversed the paths, almost impatiently. The gray wolf shot the guide a quick smile, but there were nothing he could read in the Hare's body expression; no hints of whether he was satisfied, disappointed, contempuous. He merely appeared to be in a hurry, and so Maska hurried, sometimes offering sparse words to Armis, telling him to speed up. For the first time since arriving, Maska saw the outside of the AniWayan Village. The land was much the same, but they were headed towards strange buildings, the likes of which Maska had not seen before. Sure, they were not that much different from their own Town Hall, except for the deterioration. Strange scents reached his nostrils and Maska sniffed it in eagerly, looking to the old human hut eagerly.
Armis showed him to the door and remained there, his face silently asking for Maska allowing him to enter. Doing no such thing, the councilman instead halted as he was nearly inside the hut, one leg on the outside. "Wait here." he said in a low voice, before entering. And then, as he took a few steps inside, through a little doorway, the main room opened and he saw three figures sitting there. He had not known who they were until he had pressured some of the AniWayans to tell him. Sikyatavo hopped inside the room ahead of Maska and stopped in front of the one they knew to be named Anu. "Well well." the Hare snapped. Somehow, Maska knew the wolfess could hear his Guide. Something told him Sikyatavo had been waiting for this.
