Bearclaw Valley omen

The dusty ground puffed around her, and Nanook let out a squeal of laughter, writhing against the dimly lit floor. From somewhere beyond Sesi beckoned, a call Nanook chose to ignore. The energy on the air consumed her again, and she felt her nerves tingle with the burst of something inside. The tumble could wait, but her writhing was cut short. From her throat rose a yelp of surprise as something flattened her from above.

A bolt coursed through Nanook and she acted on the surge, twisting beneath Desna and turning on her charcoal sister with her own blunt gums. Unlike Sesi, she didn't call for help - not because she didn't need it, but because asking didn't even cross her mind. No one jumped on her and got away with it - not even her sister - and Nanook set all her puppy strength in an upward thrust to right this wrong so sorely committed against her.
