One More Time

It was shaping up to be a beautiful day. The sun was shining and climbing ever higher in the sky, offering some warmth despite the cool breeze from the north. Lukina padded through the battlefield in search of her next fight, her cousin behind her as she walked. The sun was causing some of the snow to melt and she pranced through the mud, not worrying an ounce about how badly she was staining her pure white coat. When she found a dryer patch of land she tipped her head and called for an opponent with her high pitched puppy howl. Tail wagging she took a deep breath and started to put her defenses into place, getting in a bit of practice before her opponent showed up.
