My Grandma, What Big Teeth You Have

Pyralis padded toward where her old den had been to find it caved in and she chuckled. How appropriate. It was just as well. The canyon that existed under the Eclipse Empire was no more. The earthquakes, the volcano, the flood, had all changed it into something unrecognizable and even the rich dune and rust colored stone had dulled to something mostly gray and dull brown. She'd heard tell that Ashiel had set up home in a new canyon, named for this one that still had its vibrancy and more herbs and prey than they'd ever had. Perhaps this land would offer more luck to its new inhabitants. Pyralis bid it goodbye and turned to leave.

She started working her way down the path on her way to the Wraith's Woods when something bright white and moving caught her attention. That wasn't snow… it was a pup! She grinned wickedly and approached. "Hello there, little girl." She was so focused on the child she didn't notice a large male dire wolf moving in on her location.
