Greatwater Lake And now I'm laughin' through my tears

As it so happened, at this late, dark hour, Aliki was in the area. She was returning from a midnight hunt at the lake. Having been raised around water, this was where she was most comfortable.

In her jaws she carried and impressive salmon. It's scales gleamed silver in the dark. She would find a place to enjoy her feast.

Afterwards, she would curl up for a well deserved rest. Then consider, in the morning, mingling with her pack mates. She may be new, but she fully intended to establish herself. On her way past the location of Khaba's den (unbeknownst to her) she paused. Scraping the ground vigorously with her paws, spreading her scent to let everyone know she had passed this way.
