Ravensblood Forest the woods are lovely, dark and deep

Laksha's been removed for inactivity. Feel free to reasonably power play her out of the thread. This will be my final post.

Everything happened so quickly. Junior found herself tossed away from her mother, then felt the gentle impact as Hawkeye also flung Saēna behind her. The black she-wolf shouted for the children to run before joining Thistle in attacking the spitting cougar. Slightly bewildered, Osprey watched the two adults, then blinked loudly at her sister.

This was no goose, so the young Shield Maiden did not deign to disobey her mother's direct command. "C'mon," she hissed to Saēna, whose pretty face was a sight for sore eyes. How Junior had missed everyone! Nudging the smaller girl, Osprey began to lope away from the scene, though she didn't go far before whirling to watch the fight. She was riveted.

The two mothers were able to drive away the cougar and seemed largely uninjured. When Osprey turned to coax Saēna to come with her to join the two tired women, she suddenly noticed a familiar shape over the other pup's pale shoulder. The plateau! her mind screamed. Junior gave a little cry and began running in that direction without even thinking about it. Her mother's and sister's scents led the way home, home, home!
