Aurroo glanced at what remained of her squad. Lord Kallin was going to be angry. They had lost two of the metal men. She still had the foul taste of goreaux in her mouth. She wondered why Yeenoghu allowed something so foul tasting to exist.
Only yesterday they had set out to harvest the death stones with a full squad. The trip to the sun dial on the sand crawler was uneventful. They should have paid more attention to the strange scent. The harvest was going well when they were ambushed by the strange pack. Two ferran, a human, and a half-human riding a dog. The dog fought with great courage. It took down Yeeauk and Arauul. Rraroo and Panurok were also struck down. Grrurul had disgraced himself by offering the weasel ferran his spear in the midst of the battle. She must have cast a spell on him. The raccon ferran had fired a boom stick at them. These must have been the group that Bauau had reported seeing at the Bhuka camp a few days ago. They must be more powerful then she had reported.
These strangers seemed not to have heard of Lord Kallin. Aurroo explained to them that they would be in trouble when he found out what they had done, but the strangers ignored the warning. For some reason the human female used magic to revive the squad. She must not have been hungry.
The strangers met a goreaux on a thunder cycle. They took the sand crawler and the remains of the metal men and rode off to the east.
Aurroo hoped that her failure would not bring disgrace to the Blood Paws pack.
