Greatwater Lake A story to tell

The woman takes off after the badger as soon as she’s given free reign over it. Shivali is quick behind her, watching as she takes the creature by the scruff. At first, she does not offer any help—had she wanted it solely for herself, even if she’d found the scent trail?—but she does not stay still for long. Soon, she bolts forward to the other end, the smaller animal barrel rolling in the hold of its scruff, and she latches on to the opposite end during the squirming. Her mark is not for long and it slips between her teeth with torn flesh, but she does not let it get far or out of reach before she’s trying again to keep it still for her companion.
