Emberflame Ridge euthyphro dilemma

The wide, flat mountain creek began to materialize forthwith after Paladin received an initial sign of it. As she prowled forward in the lope of an agitated panther, the sound of babbling water, gently rushing, grew steadily stronger to her ears, and her dangling tongue started picking up on the moisture in the air. She felt relief when finally laying eyes on the lazy river, ceasing her disquieted panting even as she rushed forward with an elephantine splash.  

Senses still curved by the cloying scent of blood, she could not yet detect the male upwind of her. She also could not see him downstream, because of the unlevel lay of the land separating them. On top of these unfortunate circumstances that left her virtually prone, the salt she-wolf was also intensely concentrated on getting her coat cleaned; Running the water red for a brief stretch.

Refreshed and halfway washed, Paladin stopped dunking herself long enough to catch the scent of another. Stock still and dripping, she snapped her muzzle towards the smell and searched the frosty undergrowth for something that likely wasn’t there.
