‘Shiloh! Yelled out one of the forest dwellers, this is easy for you since you don’t have a child to leave at the forest altar! You stand there and say this like it’s no big deal!

You are talking about our babies!

Shiloh responded “I am truly sorry if I seem hard hearted towards you and every forest dweller in this forest. I do feel your pain, I have brothers and sisters who have to give up their young, and those young are my nephews and nieces, so don’t think that I am without pain!

This meeting is adjourned.
