Anyone feel free to jump in. I don't think we'll go with a real posting order or anything, just as long as we have everyone we need. XD
She showered them each with kisses, down across their cheeks and noses, as they moved towards their horses. There was a sadness that hung in the air around each of them, a hesitant feeling and yet an air of knowledge that they must go. The raven woman's eyes brimmed over with tears as each of them turned their horses, all at once turning back to wave at her one more time. "Be safe!" It was all that she could manage without breaking down right then and there, and she was supposed to be the strong one, the leader. Before long she could hardly see them and in an instant the horizon seemed to swallow them up. Ayegali stood there for a time, silver eyes staring out across the distance, hoping that at least one of them would think it was best to stay. It didn't happen though, it wouldn't, because her three siblings knew what they had to do.
Making her way across the lands, the place that the rest of them had settled down, she wondered just what she needed to do. There were so few of them now that she hadn't been sure that they would survive, but her siblings had assured her that they would do fine, the wapiti were aplenty and those who remained were capable. It wasn't until she neared her makeshift home, a small deerskin tent hidden beneath the cover of trees, that she decided what needed to be done.
Changing direction, she turned away from her home and off toward the middle of the lands to a small hill, the best place she could think of to call to them all. Once there she stood tall, head to the air, and let out a deliberate call to summon them to her. She hadn't explained to them why the rest of the tribe had yet to make it to the lands, though she was certain that they were wondering by now. Truth was, she had only just found out herself, and the fact that they were caught in a blizzard worried her to no end, but now even her own siblings were going out in to it.
