Redtail Rise wetfish

She had, in fact, taken @Lilia up on her offer. In her mouth swung the hefty body of a fox, hips thickened with the barest promise of life come spring. Had Metis not taken the creature, she would have birthed more in the spring.

But she hadn’t even known that when she hunted her down. And the vixen had, she had fought to the bitter, burning end and left Metis herself with a carved chunk of her shoulder gone, exposing the raw muscle underneath and staining the fine white hairs of her pelt bloody red.

But she had her offering. And, hopefully, that meant something to these wolves. She lugged the body to the edge of the border, where she dropped the vixen to let her blood spill into the snow. Then, the youth would throw her head back, offering an iron tinged howl into the heights of the sky.
