WILLOW MOVED QUIETLY to the side of Kit and looked down at the child size figure. Kit smiled up at her. Willow returned it and even though her face was lined with age and years of roaming the high desert, the smile was gentle and genuine. Even the presence of a long scar, which ran from Willow’s chin to her left temple did not detract from the warmth in her face. She sank down beside Kit and took her hand. Willow looked at the pink flesh, still tender from a recent burn, but healing well. Willow ran a thumb gently over the smoothed skin of Kit’s palm. “In a fight?” Willow asked quietly. Kit nodded and made an ugly face, mimicking a mean looking cat. Willow frowned

“A mutant? Of a cat?”

Kit nodded again and held up two fingers.

Willow lifted an eyebrow. “And two others?” Kit grinned at her. Willow sighed and shook her head. “You should be more careful, Kit. Three to one is not smart odds.” Kit frowned, thinking for a moment Willow was unhappy with her, but then Willow gave her a hug and Kit relaxed. She smiled again and rested in the older woman’s arms.

Blue picked up an old harmonica and started to play a slow tune, which quickly quieted the group. The sound was lonesome, but not sad. The small clan around the fire settled in. Mothers pulled blankets over their children and then curled around them. Blaze stood up and went to fetch more logs to stoke the fire. As he walked past Kit and Willow, he paused, kneeling down beside them. “How are you, Kit?” he asked. Kit smiled her answer. Blaze looked to Willow. “I’m worried,” he whispered, glancing back at the fire to see if anyone was listening. “The Patrols have never been like this. I’ve never seen them afraid before. What monster could they have unleashed who frightens them?” Willow thought about this, but had no answer. She shook her head and Blaze nodded, knowing she knew no more than the rest of them. He moved on to get the wood.

Kit rested, watching the fire, her head against Willow’s leg. She thought of what Willow and Blaze talked about and agreed the Patrols were acting strange and actually nervous. She did not know for certain why, but her thoughts kept returning to the funny hermit in the mountains near the Great Cave. The one who was tall, but looked weak and carried no weapons, just a walking stick. Could this be what the Patrols are hunting for? This person living in the woods? she wondered. Kit could not convince herself it was so. Still, she resolved to go back and observe the stranger further. Perhaps the funny man knew some sort of magic? Or had some power the Patrols could not control? Tomorrow she would gather some supplies and prepare. It was time to go on another scout already.
