Swiftcurrent Creek from out of the smoke

4

Still keeping up her low growl, Mella risked stepping into the fast moving current and was almost swept away. She managed to keep herself firm in place because of her paws against jutting rocks. Multiple fish swam by before she felt confident enough to focuse on them. One of the scally creatures tried to swim between her legs, but she lowered her head and closed her jaws firmly around her prey.
Carefully but quickly, she climbed up and out of the creek with her prize. The fish was small, but at least it was something. She layed down with a plop from her soaked legs and belly.
