Elfquest #5

Plot

The Wolfriders confront a Zwoot stampede and Leetah makes her choice between Cutter and Rayek.

Life in Sun Village has become easy for the Sun Villagers and their new neighbourd, the Wolfriders. Time has passed, and it seems the younger Wolfriders have become accustomed to the life in the desert.

Just when everything is settled, a gaggle of Zwoots, giant horselike creatures, stampeedes through a deep crevice cut into the dry rocky mountains. Skywise befriends a mentor in Suntoucher, and notices a distant stampede heading straight for Sun Village.

Dewshine is nearly trampled to death, but Leetah demonstrates her resonant gift of healing, and revivifies the maiden. Strongbow saves Leetah's life by shooting a Zwoot dead-cold before it tramples her.
