As she trudged through the snow, Velyre bared her teeth in a grimace.
Her paw stung from a fresh cut and the bitter cold. She remembered the bite of the knife that had inflicted it, but not the words on her tongue. Nor the voice that answered. It was responsible for bringing her here, she knew; beyond that, little else, besides her growing frustration.
She limped along a narrow, shallowed trail. Other—other beasts had passed through here. But even beasts had their own order, she was learning. She had heard whispers of a place she might find safety and rest, in exchange for services.
Services, she could provide. The only trouble was bloody getting there.
“The fuck does this mean,” Velyre grumbled at a stick decorated with a fish skeleton. It was a sign post, clearly, and if she had been in a patient mood, she could have deduced it pointed in the direction of water of some sort; but for the moment, she was too cold to be anything besides irritable.
