Blackfeather Woods meet me on the battlefield, even on the darkest night

@Damien. This one won't be hijacked! <3

It is late when Qilaq wakes. She’d fallen asleep after her evening meal and slept for several hours. The only light in the den is the faint moon illuminating the small space. She turns her head to see both her mother and father sleeping, tucked near each other. When she moves, Nemesis makes a sound, but Qilaq freezes in response until she’s sure the dark woman isn’t waking up. Carefully, she untangles herself from the mess of limbs and slowly creeps out of the den.

It isn’t the first time she’s snuck out in the night and she’d yet to be caught, always sneaking back in several hours before either of them wakes up. The young girl doesn’t go far, feeling the wool wind blow through her fur, and she makes herself comfortable several years away in a clearing. The trees opened up, allowing the light to shine down from the moon and stars, and envelops her in a softened glow. For a while, she rests here, enjoying the quiet and stillness the night brings.
