Meadowlark Prairie mirage

for @Cash

She has left behind the cliffs and moved into more accessible lands, ones that would have stretched greenly in all directions before her had not the plague descended upon them. It is a slim and pale creature that moves confidently across the darkness of the destruction wrought upon this world, and she pauses in the remains of a meadow to hunt. Her first two attempts are fruitless; she draws up in anger and lies in the shadow of a wilted bush to pant and to rest, attempting to stifle the gnaw of hunger in her belly.
