Duskfire Glacier may these words be the first to find your ears

And so, trouble enters

The young pup had trailed off from her care sitters once again. One might accuse them of doing a horrid job, however Makatza was always looking for a way to escape the babysitters and her parents. Always looking for the next big entertainment, just for her. The world was her candy store, the puppets were the employees, ready to serve her every whim. When Makatza got an idea, or wanted something, she would most certainly try her hardest to get it. She always wanted things her way and her way only.

Today she had the marvelous idea of patrolling on her own by the borders. Not only was it charmingly dangerous, but it was right up her alley. She giggled to herself as she tiptoed quietly toward the border, and she went completely unnoticed. Pathetic! Who was watching the borders? No one it seemed, so she would have to do it all by herself, correct? Of course! The world was for her taking after all. She began sniffing the ground and follow a scent she did not know.

She was rewarded! Two strangers! One did smell of the pack, but she had never seen him before. He seemed very familiar with the female, whom certainly wasn’t from around here that was for sure. She hid herself slightly and listened in on their conversation and stayed downwind. She did not want to be found, not yet. She overheard them talking of joining and that brought a smile to her little devilish face. Now was her time to shine.

She did not announce herself, but came out of hiding and came toward the two adults, The young child had her head and tail raised high, and she smiled a very innocently smile at the two. ”Well hello~” No reason to be rude, was there? ”I am glad to see you two lovebirds are acquainted.” She went ahead to stand with her front toward their sides, watching them, glancing from one to the other.

Then the smile faded. ”We don’t let just, anyone in here you know.” She directed herself toward the female with a serious look. She had to prove herself, didn’t she? That was the only way, the way she wanted it and she always got her way. ”I am the princess of the Glacier and I command that you fight.” She smiled again – just not innocently anymore.

”Just a friendly spar. We want to see what you can do.” Oh friendly indeed. Until she interefered of course. No need to give away spoilers to the lovebirds though. For now she would sit and watch the show.

Her only regret being not having any snacks.
