The song of the heart

Jynn wandered the paths that led up and down the mountainside that house the Lazuli Falls. It was a gorgeous place, one of her favorites in Auster. She worked her way down from the top to do some fishing. Being a loner often meant she had to subsist on smaller prey. Perhaps when she had a band of her own she'd be able to hunt larger game and not need to spend so much energy on chance. Although, all that said, there was something about a nice, tasty fish on a warm day.

She slowed as a mournful cry rang out through the mountain, rippling up the falls. Her large ears flicked forward. Oh no, had something happened? Worried her little sanctuary had been punctuated by violence she bounded down the rest of the path and to the edge of the pool. Looking forward she saw a woman but no sign of bloodshed. "Miss, are you ok? I heard your howl."
