She had gold and silver, and the city was hers. Her territory stretched far: east to the mountains, west to the land just before the river hills, north to the Great Freshwater, and south to the land inhabited by the cat who had given her the scar on her left ear. She lived under the Tower of Humankind, and she hunted from there, roaming far and returning to her city every four weeks or so. It was on her return from one of these roaming periods that she saw them. She was walking along the ridge when she caught their scent, and as it was new to her she followed it. She reached them in an hour. She came to a brook, and there they were, walking beside it: four strange creatures that stood on their hind legs and seemed to be always making noise. They confused her. They were not prey, and they were not hunting. Three of them were loud and careless, and the fourth seemed inexperienced, but somewhat competent. At least he saw her - the others didn't seem to know she was even there. She did not know what to make of them. <-- end transmission -->
