Trouble At The Border!

As she crossed back and forth between the Maze and the Ancient Oaks, Kina grew more comfortable with the route. Even though it still unnerved her crossing unclaimed territory, and a particularly creepy one at that. Kina was returning from a sparring session in the oaks and just as she was about to the border of Tojo Kai she had a sudden sense that she wasn't alone. The pup slowed, her ears twitching as she tried to pick up the sounds of a potential threat. She needn't have bothered for the threat made itself readily known. Two coyotes burst out from behind a large tree, bearing down on her. She screamed and scrambled out of the way of one's jaws. The other might have had her if not for Yuki. The macaque swung a broken branch down on top of the other coyote's head, breaking the stick over its skull.

Kina dove for the safety of the maze only to find her way blocked by another coyote. She backed up back to back with Yuki. How many were there? More and more arrived. It was a whole pack!
