The vultures had found her pretty quickly after the wolf had left.
The sight of her silver body tainted with the red of blood and the black of chilled mud hadn't masked her at all, and so when Kanuk woke the abrupt movement of her body startled a carrion bird. The thing hopped back, wings open, and then craned its neck over her seeping neck where a swatch of fur had been ripped clean off; its beak clattering like a castanet.
Kanuk sucked a breath, flailed a limb, and found herself half-submerged in mud with an ache to her temple - likely resulting from the stone that served as her pillow.
