The mountain lion fled and Mæva whirled around toward the sound. Instinctively she moved closer to Azure, ears flicking forward. Out of the bushes emerged two of the ugliest creatures she'd ever seen. She couldn't even really describe what she was looking at. Sort of like a coyote and a warthog got smooshed together. "I… I don't know," she whispered back. "I don't know what those are."

"They're hyenas," said a familiar voice. Mæva jumped and looked to her other side.

"Geira, you found me!" She was delighted to see her caracal friend but she didn't get much of a chance to say more as the hyenas dove at them. Mæva snarled and snapped at the one closest to her and the hyena slowed and instead started circling her. Geira frizzed up and hissed.
