Valstrath and Razeth followed at a distance of Slygotha and Nidhogg. Razeth caught small fish that swam to close. Valstrath was partially in his mind. What would it be like living amongst their enemies? When would they see father again? Was their sisters and brother alright? So many uncertainties, it was impossible to phantom their future.Slygotha nodded approval as she took the lead in the water, her third eyelids filtering out the murky waters. Her body shimmied through the water lazily, letting the current do most of the work for her. Her head only broke the surface to breathe before retreating to the relative safety of the muddy water. Her wings clung tightly to her sides so as not to hinder progress.
Nidhogg paddled after Slygotha, her claws churning the water until she got up to speed while her muscular tail waved strongly from side to side. She was trying to focus as Broodmother had stated, but doubts lingered, nagging thoughts tugging at her mind. Her timid nature would make fear her greatest obstacle in forcing the stone to do her bidding.
