Permafrost Hollows You Taunt Me

Amyrlin’s encounter with the bear in Great Bear resulted in her fleeing into the Kintla Flatlands, over the Sunspire Mountains, and, finally, into the Taiga. It took the young Lynx a sleepless day’s trek to the Permafrost Hollows. She was exhausted, cold, and famished. 

All she had wanted was a couple snowshoe hares! The ptarmigan she had managed to capture only filled her enough to flee the bear, and her belly gnawed at her over the Mountains, pushing her to find somewhere safe.

The Hollows were most familiar; she had passed through after being ousted from the Northern Lights Territory by her mother only a few months ago. Many a hunting trip did she and her mother frequent the Hollows. Closer to her origin, she felt a little more in her element and comfort. 

She found her favorite tree, one she had found months ago, where the tree split high into the tree tops, a bed of boughs so thick where she planned to nestle down for a cat nap.

But, first! Food. Then, she will sleep soundly with a full belly.
