The trips back and forth between the prominence and auster were, in a way, wearing the woman out. She wasn't used to feeling body weary, but since she knew now that she was in fact pregnant, she wasn't exactly surprised either. Because of this, she allowed herself to stop and take periodic breaks as long as she didn't take too long before getting started on the journey again. She didn't plan on taking long this time either, but as her stomach growled with the familiar pangs of hunger, she decided it was better to stop for a meal now than later. She did have a bunch of hungry bellies inside of her, anyway.
She wasn't after a large meal to save the effort and managed to catch herself a rabbit for now and a rabbit for later so she wouldn't have to hunt for another meal. As her stomach growled, she wasted no time devouring the small mammal, but the sound of crunching grass caught her attention and her head snapped towards it, however most of her vision was blocked by a low hill. "Who's there?" she barked, her voice carrying a warning as she scented the air. It was no one she recognized, and certainly not one of her own.
