On My Own

Lukina flopped down near the hot springs, pulling her tail up around her hind paws as she laid her head down on her fore arms. She didn't know what to do. Not only had her cousin Rœkia confessed to helping plan the coup that had killed her parents but then the older woman had abandoned her. She was alone in this strange world and it was beginning to show. She had some rudimentary hunting skills but it was still difficult to keep herself fed. Thankfully she had some companions to help with the hunting tasks but things were still difficult.

To make matters worse winter was around the corner and she doubted she'd survive. Perhaps that was what drew her to the hot springs. At least there was some modest warmth here.
