Blacktail Deer Plateau inbox zero

Build-up? @Saena :)

Saēna climbed the ranks like wildfire through dry brush. Despite her foul mouth and bursts of teenage attitude, she was well liked, moving easily among the other inhabitants of the plateau. Pura watched her meteoric rise from his place near the bottom - with the newbies and those less liked.

The sight of her success filled his heart with blackness.

A chasm had opened up between the siblings. They had never been much alike, but Pura noticed it now - saw her laugh and play with the others, tend to Blue Willow's brood. All he wanted to do was snap off their fat little legs. He felt betrayed, insofar as he could. It haunted him like a persistent wasp.

Today, he would seek her out. Pura crept through the forest in the early hours of the morning, following his sister's scent.
