Otter Creek Shine & Shade

Open to anyone! <3

Drawn by the promise of this new, un-explored land, a stranger emerged from the shadows of the trees flanking the creek. Dark and dull coated, the young break away female paused by the edge of the water for a drink. Her fur was slightly tussled and dusty from weeks, maybe months on end of travelling. Skirting through one territory to the next, never settling long. 

She always had favored water. Not just to quench her thirst. In the spring rivers and lakes were a reliable source for a quick, easy meal. If, you were skilled enough. Aliki happened to be one such wolf, particularly adept at fishing. Though young, she already had quite a few catches under her belt.

Droplets dripping from her chin, she pulled back and continued along the bank. Startling purple eyes scanning for a spot not so shallow, where the coveted trout would be most likely to gather. Then, she would chose her point and wait.
