Sleepy Fox Hollow Run for your life, little girl

@Korei Julia @Alarian

The trio had trailed over their first mountains recently, fortunately they were much smaller than most filling the Sunspire. Surprisingly, it wasn’t as hostile as Lennon had expected. For in the past he encountered much more of an obstacle crossing mountains in the winter. In fact, he was so stunned with how unchallenging it had been he wouldn’t stop telling Korei about how lucky they’d been. Talking her ear off more than usual, especially with the absence of Alarian who was likely off searching for another treasure hunt. 

Large was the irony, as the small group would soon realize their worries were wasted on the expedition over the mountains, when directly on the other side was a grave danger. Stalking the two was a starving cougar that found no food upon the parched mountains, and resorted to the Hollow for small, insufficient meals. It was older, not as sprite and healthy as a young mountain lion, but not as feeble as an elder either. It’s hunger filled gaze locked on the easier of the two: Korei. 

In in the middle of their one sided chat, Lennon was interrupted by the sudden odor of the feline. He stopped in his tracks, ears perked and on guard for the source. ”Korei - don’t move.” He continued to search for the creature, before his eyes caught a copper pelted cat, attempting to hide from them. Realizing it’s been seen, the feline instantly began bounding toward the pair.

Lennon barked in panic, leaping in front of his companion. ”Run!” He urged, lowering himself as he attempted to prepare for whatever the creature had in store.
