(Dated back to the day Asa and Mordred take the pups on a walk.)
Aliel wasn't doing much. She never did much, really, except lie in camp and watch the rest of them go about their duties. Sometimes she helped Merlin, and the others, with light tasks, when she could be supervised and watched to make sure she kept her mind on her task. But nothing right now, because everyone else was busy. Sprawled out on the ground, Aliel simply watched, her eyes tracking the wolves and dogs as they padded back and forth on their missions.
There was squealing and high-pitched yelping from the sleeping dens, and a moment later Asa, Mordred and their children emerged, padding across the camp and disappearing down the trail. There was a prick in her mind and Aliel lifted her head, watching as they disappeared. She blinked, and a thousand pictures rushed across her mind. Attack, screaming, yelling, orders, fear and pain and panic and then... relief and anxious inquiries and then silence. When she opened her eyes again, she was back in the clearing, her body stiff and trembling, so tense her legs were cramping.
She forced herself to relax, folding her legs and feeling the tightness of the cramping ease. Her thudding heartbeat slowed and she rolled back to her belly, testing her legs again before rising to her paws and turning to seek out the one dog she was pretty sure would help her. She just had to find him. She padded off up the path to the garden, knowing this was a good place to start looking for Merlin.
