Ouroboros Spine Looms but the Horror of the shade,

@ Kotsiktok Pond :3

The rainfall made the territory she climbed slick and difficult, but it made no difference. She would get to her destination. This ridge she had not yet explored, and the rain would soon pass through. Her furs clung to her side but she moved onward and upward, not to be deterred by the onslaught of water droplets. She squinted through it, the sound of the rain assailing her ears. They flattened against her crown, and now and again she would pause to look around her. It would not be easy to detect a predator nearby in this... and Tonravik took great care to look around her at consistent and frequent intervals.

Five minutes passed and the rain slowed some. She lost her footing and nearly fell, but was quick to catch herself. Surely this climb, as all of her climbs, would be worth it; the steep incline tested her muscles and with the wetness, now and again she found herself sliding backward to retrace her footsteps. She moved diagonally now, nearing the top.
