Moonspear diamond is unbreakable

She had spent the morning experimenting, testing whether baiting and luring worked on small woodland creatures. Scraping together the small amount of plant of knowledge she had picked up from her sister, Wildfire had plucked a few different types of grass and leaves (a difficult task this time of year) and laid them out on a bare patch of light snow near a shrub at the mountain's base. She had then stuffed herself into a cramped space inside a hollow oak nearby to watch and wait. She did observe a few rabbits and squirrels pass by, yet none of them showed the slightest interest in grazing on the food conspicuously left out in the open. She could have gone after them anyway but she didn't want to spoil the experiment.

At long last, Wildfire sighed and gave up for the day. Unable to bear another moment wedged into the tree, she slunk out of it, stretched her muscles, then went loping around the surrounding forest. Perhaps she would try again tomorrow. Maybe she just needed better bait... or probably just more patience. For now, however, she would satisfy her hunting urges the good old-fashioned way: by tracking and killing her prey on the move, seeking it out rather than waiting for it to come to her.

This method paid off much more quickly. Ten minutes after beginning her hunt, Wildfire trotted through the darkening forest with a fat rat tucked in her maw. It wasn't particularly large and she found their flesh peculiarly flavored, yet meat was meat. The young hunter intended to drop it in the closest cache, yet before she could sniff out a stockpile, she found herself crossing paths with the pack's Alpha female. Unaware that she was about to unwittingly surprise Ame with a birthday gift, Wildfire altered her course just slightly to catch up to her leader.

"Hi, Ame," she greeted after letting the dead rat slump from her mouth to her paws. "You hungry?" Wildfire asked, keeping her head low and tilting it toward the limp rodent. If Ame was patrolling, it might make a nice snack to give her a temporary burst of energy for the task.
