Howling at the Moon

Again, the priestess was chasing a hare in the night. She had driven it out of it's warren, but it got past her and darted away. Meldresi followed it, gaining actual ground this time. She dashed down the mountain, gravity pulling her down faster because of her weight, getting closer and closer until she tripped the hare and let it tumble down, hearing it squeak as its neck broke.

Satisfied, Meldresi skidded further down the slope towards her kill. She grabbed the dead hare in her jaws, seeing a ledge where she could sit and eat. But as she grew closer she saw a barn owl resting on the ledge. She was about to turn away then, not willing to disturb the owl.
