Chimera Fields We're on our way

Hi @Moor ! You can post after me :)

 

Meylodi scanned the water's surface for a fish's darting movements. A breath of a whine made itself known for half a heartbeat before it was replaced with a small gasp. She crouched, ears swerving forward, stalking on soft paws. The fish was right there- just a little bit more. It hadn't noticed her. The dark wolf watched and waited, her patience growing thin with each half-moment that passed.

After several tense heartbeats, the fish's scaled back surfaced near enough to the water's edge that she thought she could take it. She the water's surface with a splash, her nose angled toward where she wanted it to go, teeth bared. It found itself in an unfortunate situation: clamped in a set of jaws that hauled herself out of the pond and set it down. 

She quickly put a paw over it to keep it from flopping around while she delivered the final bite, and ate a good chunk of it. It felt awful on her tongue, but at least now, the pups growing within her had their first taste of the creature. Maybe they'd like fish more than she did.

Once her muzzle had been reddened, she trotted to the water's edge to drink. An' that be 'ow ya catch a fish, she said with pride. Han' on-

Her nose, however, twitched. Did she smell... another wolf?
