Bearclaw Valley And now there'll be no time to play

She came to stillrift with a plan—another way for @Indra III to prove herself worthy of the bear. 

She had tossed and turned against Aves the night before, gripped firmly by a vivid dream. She had seen the mother bear again, this time she had been staring into the clear mirror of the channel. Her reflection had shifted and become the bear woman. Then the ursine had risen from the water and pinned the bruin-heart down on her back. The large jaws had moved deliberately through the fur of her neck until they found the perfect spot. She felt the pain of teeth in the crook of her neck and grinned; the bruin-heart knew this was a gift, something for the healer to take and use in her learning. 

When she had woken, her skin throbbed where the bear's teeth had been in her dream; a bruise would form there in the shape of a bite. She had immediately risen and headed towards the bloodstain. 

Arielle climbed down into the rift and took a seat. Indra? she called sweetly, her heart fluttering with excitement.
