Nocturne Summit BWP3: PREY OPPORTUNITY

She couldn't go further.
The stone dropped down in front of her, a sheer drop, and with her leg she could not hope to make the jump. She growled lowly in frustration, glancing up to see if she could go back up. She placed a single paw on the rock, trying to heave herself up...and slipped. Her paws flew of the rock, she barely manged to stable herself. It was too sheer, too wet, and there was no way she could make it up there, especially not now with the rain that pounded down like a waterfall. She huddled into herself on the small rock ledge, blinking furiously through the rain as she tried to catch sight of Floki. 

She saw no one around her as she squeezed in on herself, desperately trying to regain lost body heat. She lifted her muzzle and howled, a desperate cry, for anyone. Floki, though she did not like him especially, was injured, if not dead, and they needed to attend to him quickly. Perhaps and able-bodied wolf could make te leap, but for now she was stuck. Then, as if to make things even more chaotic, a bolt of light fell from the raging skies. It was so close, and Althaia imagined she could feel it as it thudded down onto the earth. It's nearness and the sheer sound it made, like a rock falling from a mountain top, made her flatten her ears against her slick skull.
