Redsand Canyon a new home

Dear Lord. Sorry for the wait. I’m swamped with homework.

Amsu had smelled the cat long before he’d seen her, but was not sure exactly where she was. His solution had been to hold still and pray to the Sun and Moon that the cat passed him by. Usually big cats avoided wolves unless fighting over food or if the wolf were too close to a den. But the Light was not with him today, it seemed. He shrank back when the cat appeared around a corner. They were in a tight space and fighting here would not be easy. Nor would turning around to run. Amsu shrank back as she hissed, whining in fear. He was not a fighter and he was usually with others, for there was protection in numbers. On his own, if the cat decided to attack, he’d probably die. Fearfully, he kept his eyes on her, wondering what she would do.
