### Barbarian's Treasure (Flashback)

Cashol and Megan resonate. Megan shared her history with Cashol.

The next morning, with resonance fulfilled, Megan still felt insecure with her place in the tribe. Cashol overheard Megan talking about this and he is hurt and regretful. Remembering Vektal’s advice, to take things slow, he decided she needed to come to him and puts space between them. This mades Megan feel worse, not better. The two proceed to miscommunicate through attempts to make the other comfortable.

A couple of weeks later, later they go out hunting together, but Megan broke down when confronted with killing a hopper in a trap. This breakdown had more to do with insecurities than just killing the animal. In a hunter cave, they had a discussion, coming to a better understanding of each other.

The next three weeks pass happily. That was until a number of the roots in the storage turn up half eaten. Due to a joke Megan made earlier, a young Farli thought Megan did it. Some members of the tribe were upset about the roots, and Megan thought they blame her. She decided to leave but Cashol interrupted her before she does.

The next day Cashol went out to replace the roots. Megan realized she loves him. Later, they realized a hopper had been eating their stores.

### Having the Barbarian's Baby

All the hunters had been going out on the trails and gathering supplies for the long months. All but Cashol.

Megan is clingy by nature and couldn't stand the thought of her mate going out on long hunts, but when Vektal asks, Cashol knows he is needed. Made worse, Megan could give birth to their child any day.

Worried about the mental health of his mate, Cashol left a scavenger hunt with gifts for her. While he is gone, he works with Haeden to as much hunting down as quickly as possible. Despite the terrible snowstorm, Cashol heads back to the Tribal Caves, sure that his wife was going to give birth soon. He returns just in time for the birth of his son Holvek II, which Megan named for his father.
