Haunted Wood your kingdom down

for @Serem/@Radar

her wounds are healing well enough—most are shallow flesh wounds, and she's spared serious damage by the simple fact that both her and Valour's jaws are underdeveloped, lacking the serious strength of an adult. still, her cheek-wound is a constant bother, and there's only so often she can shove her face beneath the riverbank. 

late evening finds her hungry, and irritable as she ventures nearer to the center dens than she usually would. the prey seems to be vanishing, the quakes increasing in strength and the nightmares seemingly unending. she's half-searching for a trail to follow, but her hope is at an all-time low. pausing, she investigates a spot of dried blood; wolfblood, and therefore useless.
