Hunger gnawed at Ngurulivu’s gut as she made her way up the slate gray stone path of the mountainside. Claws clicked against the stone with each step, her sky blue gaze flicking to the clouds above her. They were cold, a steel gray that brought with them the threat of a snow storm, given how high up the mountain she was anyway. The air had become a bit thinner here, colder, and while she was sure she could catch herself something, she didn’t doubt that the weather could turn at any given moment while she was on this mountain. She was better off making the kill and eating some of her fill before trying to find somewhere to buckle down, right? Maybe others wouldn’t agree with her, but Nuru didn’t care. They weren’t here, and she was. The monochrome woman knew the name of this place well enough. Waterfall Peak, a name that had been appropriately earned. Somewhere beyond where she stood, the mountain dipped inward and foliage grew wild and in abundance… a basin of sorts at the bottom of the mountain. But more than that she could hear the cascading sound of water roaring as it fell from somewhere above her to a lake down below. She was sure it was a beautiful sight, though she had yet to get somewhere she could make out the waterfall streaming in all it’s glory. That was fine though, Ngurulivu thought to herself. She had come here to sightsee but there would be time for that later, she supposed. For now, her goal would be to find herself something to chow down upon and make sure it became her dinner. She had an idea of what could work, too. Dall sheep enjoyed making mountains like this their home and surely would make for a nice treat. Both genders had horns, with the difference between the two being how heavy or full they were. She was sure she could handle a ewe on her own though, ideally, she’d have liked to have someone to hunt alongside her. The sheep could be tricky to take down if you weren’t careful after all. Ngurulivu had made her way a little further up the mountain when she caught a stranger up ahead. She hurried forth, ears perking forward as she called to them. “Hey there!” "Talk, 'Think.' |
