Her family spent the next few days looking for her, and could only assume she was dead when it came time to leave. The family never returned to the plains due to the painful memories there. Mastema took refuge in the large cave and found the beat up longsword and armor she uses now. Some 7 years later her spouse died after the birth of her daughter.
