nascence

without another word, the coyote howled, calling out to others. solaire bared her teeth in frusturation. she was a stubborn girl and would hate to leave so easily, she even wished to stay out of spite now. but she also knew she was alone. she had no one to call to herself, and was in an unknown land. if the coyotes had enough attack power to overwhelm her it was not wise to stay, but even at three years solaire was hard to force, even harder when her patience was tested. especially so now. she was larger and stronger than coyotes by nature, by her practice as an amazon too and yet- she was not sure she could best more than three at once, even if they were short and scrawny. it was not smart and she knew this. 

another arrived, bristling, and solaire's tail lashed. she fled some yards distance from the coyotes, though remained on the scene, and turned back to face her. what threat am i to you, to only sleep here? she called over the wind, though appeals to sympathy would be unlikely to sway solaire herself if it was her land.
