She asked her why she had left her own people and how she had come so far south as the country of the Alus, where I had found her.
Id-an, the son of An-un, sped swiftly toward the cliff-dwellings of the Kor-ul-ja while the others charged the oncoming Kor-ul-lul, the war cries of the two tribes rising and falling in a certain grim harmony.
