Smoke Cat contacts Summer Wind immediately. "It would require conjuring a lot of earth, in the form of stone, at one time. A LOT of rock. Or else the valley would get waterlogged too slowly to be of any use. But it's an excellent plan; I like it! I knew I was missing something," says the younger sister. "Do you have enough people to do it?" asks the shaman. "We should have, yes, just barely." The mage sighs. "Tell Syeha that she can come and make sure the water stays in its channel."

"Presumably that's so there's no chance of them getting wet and waking themselves up. So build a temporary dam. Water builds up, it runs downhill, and a wave swamps the valley." Song, just recently having been a semi-genie in a ring, is still thinking in terms of large and dramatic spells, but she's right; it should work. All the teens would wake at once, and all of the tall, or possibly short, people in black would be forced to come out of hiding and try to regain control of the situation.

"To refresh the sleepwalker spell, maybe," hypothesizes Jonas. "Quite possibly; it would be a lot of work," his wife agrees. "And second, you need that big distraction you mentioned," confirms Star Hawk, Wolf Calling's husband. All this time, Song has been trying to keep the small children amused so that they would not interrupt too much. "Divert the river," she says. "Flood the ravine." Everyone stares, and she shrugs. "You mentioned they go downstream along a river, not crossing it."

Syeha is sure he's heard at least a synopsis of the troubles in her village by now, but, being an obliging girl, she recounts everything she is able to remember. She ends with the meeting of the night before, and the still puzzling conundrum: how to evacuate dozens of young people, especially without allowing the miscreants to escape. "Well, first, I think, you need an accurate count of just how many of these gliders in black there are," says Smoke Cat Watching. "When would they all appear?"

Song has a confession to make. "It is really the horse who does most of the teaching. I was just curious and wanted to meet you." Syeha grins. Smoke Cat is easy to identify as shaman; something about the way she holds herself speaks of power and authority. Jonas, her husband, is equally simple, being the only husband not from the steppes. "Tell me everything," he says. "Don't leave out even the tiniest detail; this is a tale worth collecting! Although, of course, I'll need the end, too."
