Soft moss littered the ground in a soft plush, her paws squished into the moist spring ground. With the rains from spring, the forest was alive with bright green and songs of birds as they taught their chicks to fly. There were plenty of off plants and flowers she had never seen before, little white ones that sprawled across the floor, others tucked into spiny brush, another white one with bell like flowers in a bush of wax like leaves. It was beautiful as other flowery trees rained petals down from above. 

But the flowers were what originally caught her attention, but now she had her eyes on something else. A squat beast with brown fur and an off white marking on its back. It looked like a mini bear with a flat back, almost like a badger - but not quite. Oh, you're a strange one. She pushed forward, trying to get a better look of the beast.

She had never seen a wolverine before, the beast crawled up trees, dove underground; What an odd bear. She told herself as she continued to get closer.... only for the thing to turn around abruptly. Staggering back a bit, the damsel's ears flattened apologetically, stepping back while keeping her eyes on the thing. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to startle you.

Her soft voice had no effect, the beast snarled and false charged, preparing to lunge forward as she stumbled to try and move back. Her awkward footing didn't do her much good as the beast finally came in for the attack. Sinking its thick fangs into her soft flesh, tainting her snowy pelt in a deep ruby paint.

A loud yelp escaped her maw in surprise and pain. Trying to pull herself away from the attacker she twisted and turned to get it loosen its grip on her shoulder.

Hurriedly she tried to push and move away, her legs desperately trying to make distance with her and the beast on her shoulder with no progress in the matter. When the first stranger appeared, she was barely aware of what was happening - so focused on her own wound, the pain she felt. She never had this happen before!

Then the grip was released. She eyed her own oozing wound for a little while, shocked at the sight, at the feeling; only then to sink her eyes on the sight of the two others tag teaming the beast. W-wait. It was hard to see what was happening, but from what she could tell one was on the beast's tail the other on his neck. They were going to kill it!

The thing was incredible! Completely unfazed by being surrounded by three larger creatures, two who were on it and fighting back. It had wrath to spare! It was horrifying and yet, she was in awe despite the fear. it kept biting and twisting, now it hurt the other female, everyone was bit! But did that merit to tear it apart? 

She was uncertain, but in the pit of her stomach it didn't feel right. Not if she can help the situation. She winced a little at the female's comment, she wasn't wrong. She was very right, and had come in to help without hesitation! Reiko should be thankful. She was thankful. 

She gave the... strikingly familiar looking male (like something she's seen in her reflection a million times kind of familiar), a soft smile while he managed to get himself onto of the beast and ask for the next step. Granted his tone was clearly... mocking Reiko in some way. But never the less, he was kind enough to give her an opportunity to save the attacker from being shredded limb from limb. Ummm. she looked around, heart beating fast enough, just enough so the pain in her should was numbed for now.

At some point she couldn't come up with a satisfying answer quick enough, she was beginning to succumb to the situation until... There! She quickly ran over to the object in sight, rounded, pointed bone sticking out from the soil - an antler! The rounded spaces would be perfect to trap the beast on the spot, the sharp edges to easily stick in the ground..

Dragging the antler over, she placed the rounded area gently over the neck of the beast, desperate to not stab it with the points, and then - stood on the thing to let it sink into the ground. This should keep it here for now, don't you think? She glanced back at the male first, see what he thought - then to the female, almost scared to hear what she had to say. It won't stay stuck, it seems strong enough to wriggle out - but it would give us time to lose it! She said smiling softly.
