Between a rock and a hard place

Iskra did a LOT of dumb things, and she sure wasn't afraid to admit it either. Sometimes her pursuit of a good time lead her to pushing things too far. Like today, a tale in which the Astral woman went a wandering in the woods and when she found this ravine, what did she do? Why, the red lady thought to herself "I wanna climb down there! and proceeded to do just that. Rule number one; never climb down into unknown ravines alone.

After a great deal of padding around in the low lighting, aimlessly treading paths until she hit dead ends, kicking rocks as she tried to keep her mind occupied Iskra came upon a snoring fuzzy brown creature curled up in a hole that was scooped out of the wall of the ravine. She'd never admit that today she was in a bit of a foul mood, or that said mood lead her to do probably the most foolish thing she'd ever done. Poke a damn bear while it was sleeping. Who even does that?! Iskra, that's who. Waltzing right over with narrowed eyes the woman stuck out a fore-limb and poked that fuzzy snoozer without even thinking. Then it woke up, and Iskra suddenly recalled why you didn't let your mood dictate your actions.

Stupid, stupid stupid! Racing through the passages, the Aeris woman cursed herself for being such a dumbass. Even playing with badgers wasn't as insane as this! Her breaths came fast, gasping while her legs carried her at breakneck speeds through the lengths of the ravine until her worst fear was realized - a dead-end loomed up before her, trapping her between it and the snarling bear behind her. With her rump against the dirt wall, shadows casted over her faintly trembling rosey form, the beast she'd pissed off stood looking rather pleased by her predicament. Shit!
