Fighting and adventure—two of my favorite things!

While her and her father were exploring the unusual land of bones, she spotted a big skull that was mostly exposed from the ground with part of a skeleton sticking up from the ground behind it. It was a massive mammoth skull with huge curved tusks and she gasped softly with excitement and awe as she ran over to it, hopping up on one of the tusks with a grin. She climbed up the tusk and on top of the old bones, now several feet off of the ground from her new perch on top of this skull. "I’m the queen of… whatever this thing was!” she declared with a giggle and a pleased wag of her tail as she looked down at her father.

However, as she was standing atop her new vantage point, the hyenas that apparently had been using this skull as their den started filtering out and surrounding her dad with their signature laughing yips and barks. Her grin fell away and a more serious, concerned look took its place, her ears flicking back as she prepared herself to jump down and help her dad with the fight if she needed to. She didn’t know how dangerous or hard to fight hyenas were so she didn’t know what she was going into, but she wouldn’t just sit back and watch her dad her hurt! What’s why she was learning how to fight anyway, right? To protect herself and her family! Well, and so she could leave the island without worrying her dad so much, but that came hand in hand with the other stuff.
