A scene

From the ridge above the Eridanus, Lenna, druid of the Otesi, watched the dust on the far side of the valley sharpen into riders. A mile away, and yet she could count them: nineteen Scythians on shaggy ponies, fresh scalps swinging from their bridles, one with a split lip, one favoring his left arm. She could even read the painted marks on their shields. The spell would last a while longer, long enough to see which ford they chose. Then she ran down the slope to tell the family groups to scatter into the woods.
