Otter Creek The last breath of autumn

Every step she took laboured against the cutting gale, but still she didn't falter. She may have been a threadbare creature that wasn't much to look at, but she had an indomitable will sometimes. That was likely the only thing going for the scrawny hybrid, who had more problems than she had blessings.

At about the same time that Meldresi noticed her, Cthulhu noticed Meldresi. It was hard not to pick a black wolf out of the scenery, especially with eyes as sharps as hers were. Her tongue flicked across her lips as she stopped momentarily, staring across the distance... and then, as though Meldresi could somehow save her from the wind, she made a beeline for the Alpha.

She didn't know what she'd say when she got there. She didn't even know why she was going. She just felt that Meldresi would be able to help her, one way or another.
