whats up croc?

Ulmaria had once again managed to convince her uncle to take her herb hunting. She knew they'd be moving out of Fireside soon and she wanted to take advantage of her uncle's time while she had it. This time they had travelled east. She was snuggled deep in the travois for most of the trip until they arrived at the came site. While her uncle set up camp she went off to do a little exploring, not too far of course. At least she had her own companions now to travel with her. Valeria her fishing cat and Piper the lemur. Valeria was eager to go fishing in the mangrove waters, leaving Piper and Ulmaria to go herb hunting.

She was wandering along the edge of the mangroves when a terrifying hiss cut through the air. She spied the same boy she'd seen fighting a lion dealing with a huge, scary, lizard thing! Eek! "Look out! Get away from there!" She yelled then gasped as the crocodile headed toward her. It lunged and she scrambled up the mangrove roots, just avoiding its teeth as Piper brought a rock down on the croc's head before bouncing out of range of its jaws.
