The Sunspire here comes a fierce battle between a king cobra and a honey badger

I'm being vague about her injuries out of necessity. Come and get 'er, @Summer and/or @Jace! :)

Licking her chops, Honey Badger traveled north, making a brief pit stop at a large, icy lake to slake her thirst and wash her wounds. She then made a beeline for the mountain range straight ahead. Even from a distance, she once again detected the signature smell of pack wolves. Like before, she completely disregarded the olfactory warning and traipsed right up to the foot of the nearest peak. Her black lips wrinkled back from her teeth and she growled under her breath as she began to march up the mountainside, ears thrust forward and tail erect.

Once again, she was looking for a fight. Despite the injuries sustained in her prior altercation, she had not suddenly learned her lesson. Honey Badger had not become humble or cautious or fearful. Her electric yellow eyes flashed with menacing purpose as she scaled the rockery. When no one immediately came after her, she announced her presence with a high-pitched, soaring howl that seemed to say, "Come and get me!"
