Duskfire Glacier flame of the heart

!!!!!!

Amekaze had been alone for much for her travels. Here and there, a path crossed with another but these encounters were always brief and she moved on. This was the about the same, even across these stretches of empty territory. 

When she thought she felt predatory eyes, somewhere deep in the instincts her skin prickled, and before she could even fully register the s sensation, her sights were red. All at once, tranquility shattered by something unimaginably foul. Tan fur, and blazing eyes with an ugly screech, her senses were turned onto painful overdrive as she bristled, pulled back her lips, and backpedaled. This could turn ugly.

These rotten beasts had already cost her so much. She hadn't seen one in so long, and certainly not so close, but she knew without a doubt that the hatred remained just as it always had. Fury burned, and she had to weigh her options. There was the temptation to face it head on, enjoy the madness of a final charge, and go.. but, could she?

So to test her luck, she spun on her heels and sped off, all while cursing her unfamiliarity with this terrain. She didn't know the best paths, or the best routes; if this were closer to her own mountain, she would. She realized she was skimming towards the east, but knew not what was in that direction exactly. Her own home was even too far for her to loose a howl to her comrades, so she was left to hope it was for her best interest in one way or another.

 Amekaze kept her ears swung back to listen to the cat's moves, and focused on not misplacing her footing and gaining speed together.
