A howl.

Tallen, if fortuitous. Simply a wolf, if not. But Atzi leaned towards optimism more than pessimism, and possessing no talent in tracking, she was fine with heading northeast in search of the wolf and the huntress.

And yet, in the vacuum of noise that was the howl, there was another sound. Like the crystallizing of ice, crackling against a snow-drenched pond. The hiss of a beast, starved and ferocious, predatorial rather than threatening. A sound she recognized, and a sound drawn in the wake of the blizzards that levelled Dawn. A Rimebeast. A fucking Rimebeast!

Without hesitation, Atzi leapt off the roof, her feet sinking into the snowbanks before she grabbed the cabin’s doorway and practically pulled herself out. Snow coated her brown skin, melting instantly at the heat of her body, and she bulldozed through the space just in time to see [i]two[/i] feline monsters ambushing Vammy.

With two hands on her wooden club and a roar hurtling out of her lungs, the barbaric woman stepped right past her demonic companion and took a powerful, horizontal swing, aiming to smash the leaping beast right in the face and send it flying ceilingwards.

And as for the one that blasted out cold air?

Blast it, she could take it!
