"Lifemate?" Nightfall asked again, worried. *Ulm, ulm speak to me.*
Lock sending he opened his mind and his heart to his lifemate. His fears and memories of madcoil were all mixed up with his memories of the ordeal that they had just gone through.
*Ulm,* she whispered mentally to him. *Your pain is mine, give it to me, and I shall keep it safe. You are the root, the tree, the leaf. You are the season of newgreen and life. Let me be your sword, your shield, your trollforged bright metal armor.*

"Nightfall?" Cutter asked, concerned.

"There was one, pony," she said, hesitating on the odd term. "She was a fireshaper. And she used the fire as a weapon."

Nightfall nodded. *She was attacking some plants he was trying to shape at one point,* she sent to Cutter and Leetah, so that Redlance wouldn't have to relive that pain. Hopefully the now of wolfthought would help him find peace.

Cutter nodded, thinking. There was only one thing he could think of to perk up his plantshaper tribesman. He sent mentally, privatly, and knew the sound of feet before heard it.

Three quads of legs raced towards the somber elves. A red head poked through the bushes first. "I win!" Ember cheered happily.
Suntop trotted over to his father and sat. "Did not, you had to get to them, not to a bush."
"I did to win, this is where they are!" Ember insisted as she struggled to free herself from the bush.
Redlance smiled very softly as he reached down and encouraged the push to move for her. It did. HE nudged her free then blinked. "I'm sorry my chief!" he said quickly as he realized what he had done. He had used his magic again.

Cutter shook his head, grinning despite himself. "the magic worked, you grandson of a treeshaper. Magic that works is not what created Madcoil. We will be careful in using our magic, but we will not shun it. We are Wolfriders, not gobacks."

"I like magic," Suntop said softly.
"Bearclaw would have been more like a goback in his outlook, I think," Nightfall mused, "But then he would have given us a harder time about the shape we came back in. In many ways, you are a better chief for this tribe, Cutter."

Cutter laughed. "I think it's the tribe that's changed to make me have to be the way I am."
"The tribe?" Leetah asked, arching a brow at him as she concealed a yawn.

"OR maybe your lifemate had something to do with it?" Nightfall asked with a grin, glad things were getting back to normal.
"Or having Cubs," Redlance offered, spotting Tyleet up in a tree. He had a feeling if Suntop and Ember were here, she would be too. He was glad, he ahd wanted her to get the chance to grow up with other cubs. She had Venka when she was younger, but only Venka, and they hadn't always been close.

"Could also be having Skywise for a soulbrother," Leetah added in with a grin.

"Or it could just be that Cutter is Cutter, was Cutter, and will always be Cutter," Nightfall teased.

Redlance chuckled and opened his mouth to speak.
Tyleet jumped down from the tree and landed before her father.
"Ty... Tyleet," Redlance whispered in shock.
"Cub?" Nightfall asked, also amazed.
Tyleet gave a small shy smile. "Father, mother."
"You got biiiiiiiiiig" Ember informed her.
"Not big feather head, she grew up," Suntop corrected.
