Broken Antler Fen out of the danger and into the flames

After traveling through the forest, which had been much to her liking, Maegi ended up in a vast, marshy land, sweet-smelling and rich with the songs of frogs. She weaved her way through the place, avoiding the deeper puddles, her paws squishing through the bog. She ought to get home soon, but she was liking this small exploratory mission. It shook things up, a bit.

But even the new surroundings couldn't distract her from potential danger. Movement ahead brought her to a sudden halt, and she peered warily into the distance, eyes narrowed. One step, then another. She crept slowly toward the figure, which revealed itself to be a lone female wolf, looking apprehensive.

No packs claimed this land--she was as sure of that as she could be. So she was not intruding--what was this woman doing here, then? Just traveling through, like Maegi? The girl stopped a short distance away and stared, waiting for the stranger's response. No sound, no greeting--simply staring.
