With two additional mouths to feed (three if one included the wolf) and a long, difficult journey to supply for, there had not been time for much except preparation since the arrival of Dart and Ninkahsi to Blue Mountain. There was meat to be hunted and smoked, the logistics of packing to consider, and, most importantly, the question of how to transport water for five without the strong back of zwoot to bear it across burning sands.

It was Kalt who spotted the two new arrivals to the ruin of Blue Mountain as they picked their way down the treacherous slope, rubble rolling out from underfoot and bouncing down to the valley floor at every step. They could not have been expected, but Aurek's ever-unflappable aura certainly gave that impression as he rose to greet them.

After wary introductions, the five elves (plus the wolf, who was eyeing the stag pen with too much interest for the Go-Backs' liking) made their way down into Aurek's lodge to take seats around the hearth. It was a strangely familiar sort of coziness for the newly-arrived Sun Villagers, this homey space with all of its stone jars and shelves, but there was little enough time for comfort before Firn spoke.

On the other side of the Forbidden Grove, they kept to the trees that hugged the edge of the river. Blue Mountain used to rise up beyond, cold and forbidding, and Dart fell backwards in time for just a moment.

With only two, not counting Filcher, who could fend for himself, they moved swiftly through the desert; Ninkahsi might not be accustomed to long journeys but she didn't complain to Dart, anyhow. He was too lost in his own thoughts, at once remembering the last time he'd crossed the desert toward the tunnel, where the trolls had sealed his people in the desert to die all those eightspans ago. Dart had been hopeful; with only two, they could also avoid whatever occupied the tunnels now, troll or not.

It had been barely a handspan of days since the Sun Villagers had lived through the unthinkable - war had come to Sorrow's End. Elf had slain elf, watering the insatiably parched earth of the desert with elven blood.

Murdered Sun Villagers had been laid to rest beside invading Go-Backs. Those wounded beyond the ability of Mender's nescient healing skills had been surrendered to the care of the Preservers, to a timeless dreaming entombed in wrapstuff. There was little time to mourn the living or the dead, however; even before the arrival of the Go-Backs, the Sunfolk had been living under a doom cloud.
