Blackfeather Woods First, we eat.

Nyx was not the most protective creature, especially not if something wasn't hers by right. The babes born of a paring between Relmyna and someone else (she had yet to hear the exact details, but wasn't going to ask for them) meant very little to her besides that they were property of the woods. That alone was enough reason to protect them, to make sure they were save every now and then, but not to spend actual time with them or anything. She liked being alone and only often found herself craving Maegi's companionship (wherever she had gone).

But the woods smelled of danger. It was no wolf, not one of the coyotes either - she didn't recognize the scent beyond being different and therefore dangerous. She was quick to sniff the stranger out, spotting him just in time to see him longingly stare at their den (where the hell was the mother?). She glared at him for a split second and then, with the thunderous sound of rushing footfalls, made her way quickly in front of the opening.

She lowered her muzzle, protecting her neck, and her tail swept over her star kissed back. Her pearly whites shimmered only slightly in the shades of the woods, but she flashed them with all her might, a deadly growl erupting from the back of her throat. Get out. She spat as a final warning.
