Say it wasn't so! How could this be happening? Dagger was cornered, she had no where to go as the Devourer's slowly approached, their inky flesh twining and writhing excitedy around the skeletons that made up their frame. They knew the situation was hopeless… well hopeless for any regular wolf but not for Dagger! Her emerald eyes narrowed, hackles raising as she sized them up… it was now or never… a patch of ice stretched out between her and the Devourers. All she had to do was time it just right…
Dagger froze at the sound of something moving outside the cave… something big. The Devourers suddenly began to shift nervously, screeching like frightened screech owls before they fled into the shadows, the bones that had housed them falling to the cave floor in a clacking cacaphony. A shadow fell across her. Dagger quickly recoiled, playing dead and backing into the shadows as the creature entered the cave…. closer…. closer….

Dagmær remained frozen, eyes shut as she listened to the breathing of something in front of her. She did her best to try and stop her breathing but it was hard, she was already so starved for air and she could feel her throat itching, thick with mucus. Shit… hold it Dagmær come on don't give yourself away. It'll go away, the big thing will leave.
"Whoa!"
Dag flinched and cautiously cracked an emerald green eye, just barely to see another girl staring at her. Oh! Well… that wasn't a Giant Bonebreaker or a Frozen Beareater.
"Are you dead?"
Both eyes snapped open and she frizzed up, trying to look as big and intimidating as she could to scare off the other girl. "No! I-" Dagmær immediately broke into a coughing fit. "I…just…. one… sec…." She fought and struggled and swallowed a big glob of mucus down her throat before making a face. "Yuck! I hate being sick! I'm not dead, I was just pretending I thought you were a Giant Bonebreaker come to eat me." She started coughing again, her frustration growing at her inability to ask questions. "So… who are you?"
