The Shadowkin were few. When the shaking-of-the-ground started they looked for shelter and found none. When the shaking-of-the-ground ended, they found the rocks-that-were-tall and saw that these were good places. Small groups of Shadowkin began to move towards the mountains, and as they did, they began to learn. Some of them began making noises, like those-which-flew. Others found that they understood these noises, and could make them back. They taught those that did not understand and the Shadowkin knew it was good.
