Wheeling Gull Isle young blood, gotta pull the trigger

Mind if we change the location to Blackwater Islands if it's not too much trouble for you? Change of plans for the Nereides. :P

Akantha regarded the rocky crags of the island with a spark of hope in her eyes, and a fire alight in her heart once more. They could thrive here away from the land, surrounded by the Sea, and secluded from the judgement of the outsiders. Her ears cupped as a seagull swooped low overhead and settled among the higher rocks where a few peeps told her of the family that he'd nestled in the cliffs away from the harsh winds. She waved her tail as she watched him offer up morsels to the tiny chicks, pleased to see life thriving here. It inspired her.

But the wind shifted and, with it, came the musky scent of another—no, two distinct scents. Both male.

Akantha turned, hackles rippling down her spine as she locked eyes with the first in line. A rumble began deep in the pits of her stomach, rolling around in her lungs, before vibrating out her throat as a very pointed warning. Her tail raised high behind her rump and quivered with the effort of keeping it elevated to such extreme heights. She hadn't officially claimed this area as her own, and her Sisters were not here to back up her position, but she was in no mind to yield to two strange males.

"Come closer and I will bleed you." she growled across the distance between them. Sizeable for now, but she did not like this feeling; she was vunerable, and outnumbered. She flashed her teeth to prove her point. "What do you want?" She shouted over the din of the waves.
