[Gallagher]

Lindche lead his newfound human companion straight through the forest until the trees parted before a stone road, winding around a hill and toward the human gathering. Though there wasn't a soul in sight along the road, the sounds of life grew more prominent the closer they came. The human nests were tall and enclosed, made of wood and stone and quite unlike anything that he was familiar with. Rising up above the others in the center of it all was one that looked entirely of stone.

This is where the human-young said it had lived, after leaving its first nest. He had been near the gathering before, but the humans that followed the road always chased him back into the trees. He hoped that his human wouldn't decide to do the same.
