Incana had just go to dreaming in her warm bedroll; when she heard Brand's panicked voice, "Vaenosa, Incana! To the horses with your weapons they're under attack!" Fully awake at that point she heard Starlight. The mare was making a horrible snorting scream. Incana quickly jumped up and grabbed her knife that had been tucked under her bedroll. It was still dark and very little could be seen, but she heard everything including a low catlike rumble that came from the trees as she passed them to get to Starlight.

Incana reached her horse and went to untie her, but because the horse was so spooked and scared the lead that was around the tree had been tightened. Incana tried to untie the knot but to no avail. She brought her knife to the lead and began hacking at the leather straps. Incana's actions were making it worse for the mare and she started to pull back even harder and whinnying louder. Incana ignored the protesting horse and kept working at the lead. She finally had freed Starlight and held the remaining strap in her hand. Incana approached the other two horses, this time she did not take as long on their leads as she had on Starlight's. Now that she had all three nervous equins in her grasp she headed towards the dying firelight. Suddenly Incana heard another yowl from the animal in the trees; Starlight became spooked again and reared up almost bringing Incana's arm with her. The mare's hooves came down witht a thud her right front hoof grazing Incana's thigh. Incana let out a blood curdling scream of pain, she desperately wanted this night and this wretched beast in the shadows to be gone.
