Greatwater Lake as if i myself had no voice

astara forced her way across the water, the depth of the shallows causing slight impediment in her movements. at a high-stepping trot, astara splashed as the goose flew behind her in a honking shriek, batting her head and flank with forceful flaps of its powerful body.

ears back, astara bolted for the bank where merrick had deposited his kills. goslings were relatively easy to dispatch, but their parents were precocious, as astara soon found. the goose's fury did not slake, and she nipped harshly at the girl's tail as she scampered up the bank. faced with two wolves now instead of one, the goose landed with a crash behind astara's whirling form, flapping her wings impressively like a gorilla might pound its chest.
