Nocturne Summit chase and hide

Hydra moved after the trail of something that smelled quite peculiar. Whatever it belonged to, Hydra did not know—though she knew it was not anything predatory in nature, as her parents had made sure to teach her those scents in particular. @Alya was around, somewhere near, and @Lyra was too (one to get to know the terrain, the other to do some naturalist research)—if whatever the beast was proved to be a threat, Hydra and her sisters could take it out... but as she drew past a spiny tree, Hydra detected blood. Her nostrils flared and she drank the scent deep, curious—what had injured it?
