Go with her
She makes an attempt to walk fast, but you stumble and she slows down. The half woman leads you through the village. It's bigger than you initially thought. Many tents are placed around a big fire. Small tents, meant for one or two people. Big tents meant for families. They seem to all be made with straw, weaved straw.
The children look at you and whisper. The women try not to stare, and the men keep their eyes on you. A stranger is in their camp.
The woman who found you leads you to a big tent, the tent of their leader. By the entrance there are placed multiple skulls. There is smoke coming out the top. She stomps her hooves three times and a voice sounds from inside.
"Come in."
She pulls you in with her.
Inside is decorated with dream catchers, talismans, and various paintings on some kind of papyrus. In the middle of the tent is a small controlled fire.
You meet the eyes of an elderly man. His eyes are very light blue, you wonder if he's blind. His hair is gray, as are his ears and legs.
"I have foreseen your arrival." His deep voice startles you.
"What happened to me?" You find yourself asking, desperate to know the answer.
