Kintla Flatlands the body

Rather than making a new thread for @Twister @Szechuan and @Sweet Tooth I thought this event thread of Karm's would be an excellent place for Saena to encounter them. Karm, if you intended Pura to be in this one, feel free to keep on posting!

The flatlands were quiet as Saena trooped through the thick snow. She held her tail straight behind her and moved at a quick clip with erect ears, each held opposite the other so she had approximate 360 degree coverage. Reporting the disfigured cannibal wolf to Dante wasn't enough to keep her or her pack safe in open ground. She was uncomfortable out here like she'd never been before, and would be all too happy to cross the threshold of home.

Her trot carried her up a squat hill, and that was when she saw a dark figure collapsed on the ground. Concern caused her heart to skip a beat as Saena hastened her steps. She reached the dark wolf from behind, expecting to find a loner merely resting there with her head turned away. "Hey, it's not safe here," she said softly, "there are cannibals..."

But the dark wolf didn't respond. She didn't even stir in acknowledgement. Saena frowned and padded around the dark body, ready to ask more loudly if she'd been heard, but she stumbled back in soundless horror when she realized this wolf was dead. Not only that, but it was completely faceless and, like with Honey Badger, it was the work of a wolf.

When she regained her clarity, Saena's scream pierced the quiet air, shrill and terrified.
