Redhawk Caldera It's never too late

@Jaws

She hadn't reached the borders of the caldera yet but she could still see it in the distance, it's peak chopped off as if someone had taken an axe to it. It was so far away and the sky was starting to darken considerably, making the light drizzle even more miserable. Her pelt was soaked and it clung to her thin form, making her bulging stomach look even more awkward then it already felt.

She was starving but there were no other animals out and about during that disgusting rain. She turned in place, trying to find a good place to shelter for the night, but all she could see was a clump of scrawny pine trees. But still, it was all she had.

She shook her fur, sneezed, and headed towards the pathetic clump. Upon reaching it, she found it actually offered more shelter then she expected. The ground was fairly dry and was covered in a soft bed of pine needles. After moving the pine needles around a bit, she lay down on them, a yawn opening her jaws wide before she closed her eyes and fell into a dreamless sleep.
