Manifesto

For @Skull whenever you get accepted :) Backdating this to before Tuwa returned to SCC... she's still on the mountain. Discovery thread?

Day transformed into a vivid twilight before cascading into a sultry night. It was warm, even on the mountainside, and fireflies flirted between the trees while enjoying the peak of summer's temperatures. The sky, a deep and velvety purple, was painted with large smatterings of twinkling stars; obscured by the clouds which had stormed through the previous days. The forest, now freshly watered and damp, buzzed with activity as creatures of all sorts enjoyed the season's still plentiful bounty. Tuwawi was one, and she crept between the roots of some rare, deciduous trees on the hunt for curious voles.

She had scouted a part of this new territory so far, and even though she had been attacked by a lynx, the event had done little to dissuade her. The shallow marks in her saffron whither still stung, but the savory taste of plump prey eased her pains. The chubby voles were plentiful, and easy quarry for the new mother, though she hungered for a large meal. For now, this light supper would have to see her to the end of her journey.

Earlier that day, Tuwawi had been on the hunt for a new den, though no place suitable had presented itself. For now, she dined alone, and thought of all the things to check off her to-do list before returning to Swiftcurrent, Njal, and her children.
