A rattlesnake squirmed beneath her outstretched paw, it's tapered body spiralling upon the sun-warmed rocks of the butte. Even in the coldest months, the sun brought life to the desert, but already it crept close to the horizon. Ezen would have to work quickly to avoid the night.
With practiced precision, she carefully threaded the serpent's fangs through the leathered skin of a dried mouse. Then, she pressed down firmly on its head, hearing the telltale drip drip of venom as it filled the pouch. With a swift prayer, she dispatched the snake and tossed it aside, it's purpose now fulfilled.
A fool's drink. It would make a worthy trade for him, she hoped.
