it was a rare moment that eshamun wandered, but today she did so. her cycle would not be upon her until the snows were full upon the land, and so she did not draw the attention of males, nor did she seek it. the ekar-aji merely roamed, drinking in the frost-rimed beauty that the woodlands granted her. she was drawn by the metallic, salt-scent of blood, and some steps later, she discovered a she-wolf, resplendent in pearl hues, a hare between her paws.
her beauty captivated eshamun; the wolf of the malkaria made herself known with a gentle chuff, fixing her viridian eyes upon the stranger. she was not close enough to take the fragrance woven into the other's withers, but it did not matter.[/tr][/td][/table]
