the
beaded up sweat her hand contacted with she rubbed lightly in a
circular motion. Her old voice cracked slightly, as she began to
sing lullabies that she hadn’t sung since she had comforted her own
children when they were little. That had been a long time ago in
another world it seemed than the one she now lived in.
    The words of the songs calmed the man
beneath her palm’s touch just as she had known they would, because
she knew what he was. He was a Valley Lander just as she had once
been and the words were ones that he had heard before. His
breathing evened out and she let her words drift away, as she sank
to her knees painfully at the head of the table.
    Zora eased the sweat soaked black hair away
from the hunters face and combed it back over his ear. The fury was
gone from his eyes and all that was left was pain.
    “Oh you poor boy! You remember everything
don’t you? Everything that you’ve done?” Zora said in a choked up
whisper, as she leaned forward and kissed the Hunter’s sweaty
brow.
    Hoarse from screaming his voice came out
rough, “Kill me!”
    Zora shook her head no, “No, I will not do
that and neither will you when you have the chance!”
    His eyes closed and he made to turn his head
the other way, but she stopped him with a gentle pressure to his
head.
    “Look at me!” Zora said in fervored
passion.
    Almost reluctantly his eyes slid back open
to view her.
    “This is the way it will be, listen closely!
You are going to remember who you were before all this happened and
you are going to be that person again. You’re going to need help,
which is why I’m going to send Kana in the morning to help you. I
need you to find a way through this! Do you understand me? There is
work that needs to be done! There is a purpose to everything I have
come to learn in my long life. You have a purpose and you need to
step into it, because you are needed! Soon we will need you! Now
try to get some rest. I’ll send Kana by in the morning. She’ll show
you what it is to love life and to pursue it with everything that
one has within oneself. Now I wish you a dreamless sleep. Good
night dear.” Zora said leaning forward and kissing him lightly on
the brow once again, as she got up stiffly and left the tent.
    Kana turned in her bed of blankets and then
popped upright with a surprised gasp, as she saw Zora standing
above her. It had to be very early in the morning, as it was just
becoming to grow a grayish half light outside.
    “What’s wrong? What did he do?” Kana quickly
asked.
    “Nothing, it’s more of a case of what you’re
going to do. He needs someone to take care of him Kana and I
believe that you would be the perfect woman for the job.” Zora said
confidently.
    “Me? Take care of him, how?” Kana exclaimed,
in disbelief, of what was being asked of her.
    Zora just smiled at her and didn’t say
anything.
    “I can’t handle him Zora! You’ve seen him!
He’s a beast! What do you expect me to do with him?” Kana exploded
out with in what seemed like one breath of air.
    “Well I expect you to go about treating him
the same way that you’ve treated all the wild animals that you’ve
tamed and gentled over the years. First you show him that you’re
not a threat, then you show him that you care for him, then you
trust him not to hurt you and that you’re not afraid of him,
because you in turn trust him to do the right thing. Once you’ve
accomplished that I think he’ll be just like the rest of the wild
animals that you’ve befriended over the years. He’ll want to be
with you wherever you go and he’ll do absolutely anything for you.”
Zora finished with matter-of-factly, it being an apt description of
every pet that Kana had ever befriended.
    “Why would I want that?” Kana asked thickly
not daring to meet Zora’s eyes with her own.
    “Who are you trying to fool Kana? We both
know why you would want that.” Zora answered forcefully not letting
Kana retreat.
    Kana felt like her face
