Otter Creek I'll be the match to your candle

 

For @Aries

Now that Wraen was stil recovering, Nara hunted day and night to make sure that there was enough food to go around. She had journeyed to Otter Creek, hoping to find the famous creatures the place was named after. When she arrived, it was already dark - almost a full moon. With careful steps she approached the rocky shore of the stream. Trees hung low over the creek, their branches casting an eerie shadow on the water. It smelled like fish. Nara peered into the depths, but saw no movement. Her big ears moved to all sides as she tried to listen for any sounds. Nothing. Only the soft sounds of water could be heard. 

She could smell a pack nearby, they were fresh scents, but she didn't care. At least not right now. She was too tired to return to Sunspire. With an overdramatic sigh she plopped herself down beneath a tree and curled up in a ball, folding her tail over her muzzle and paws. It was going to be a cold and restless night.
