Dragoncrest Cliffs skipping like a stone

at tokota's junction sobeille traveled the sea's swash-line, following the contours of the coast all the way north. a trying and time-consuming task, wading the shallows of the tide -- but it was necessary to do so, knowing two saatsine beserkers hunted the wilds for her scent.

returning to sapphique the evening before, sobeille immediately searched for @Yura, @Shadess, and @Astera. @Lafayette she did not call for, knowing he'd likely made his journey to the creek by now. each of them were told of her harrowing escape; she described the features of their enemies and advised they all remain vigilant.

were they connected, these saatsine wolves and marauders?

that morning sobeille felt herself drawn to revisit the sound. sivaak knew of this place, and she worried she would one day find the caribou-killer at her door.

instead of a pale leviathan, she found someone else darkening their doorsteps; a darkfurred male with feet adorned in peculiar white stockings. sobeille's expression darkened with rage.  pirate or saatsine did not matter - he was intruding, and moreover, male -- thus forfeiting his life to sapphique's mercy.

and sobeille did not feel very merciful today.

a blur of scarlet, sobeille fell upon him in hellcat furor.
