Saia needed to get out and stretch her paws more. She had been pretty absent since the Armada had grown sick with some illness. That all seemed to subside now, so she could feel a lot better about leaving the pack lands.

She was still pretty reclusive by nature, but she didn't want to be like that. She had spent her whole young life shadowing her mother. And while she cared deeply for her siblings she had never spent as much time with them as she felt like she should have. And now they were all scattered to the wind. Unbeknown to her quite literally on all corners of their world.

She was looking down at the glowing ice that followed her paws under the stars, and maybe that's how she missed the danger nearby. The sound of clipping ice shot through her ears and before she knew it she was turning to be greeted with a massive white paw across her shoulder and chest. Face to face with a polar bear. She had been lightly scratched by it's paw, but it wasn't something she couldn't handle. Finding her footing under her was difficult above the ice, but it was something she would have to learn from the northern lands. For now she stood defensively waiting for the opportunity to evade and counter the white bear's next move.

"Saia"

Ice, snow, icicles, all white and glittering a tinge of red beneath the blaring red sun. It was a miserable place. She wasn’t quite sure why she was here. Well, actually, Mags wanted to explore. See different places, but this was boring. Even the strange tendrils of ice that rose and curved above the surface did little to impress her. Wasn’t there anything more interesting here?

Oh! That is!

Her wide eyes land on the polar bear that attempts to swipe a lone wolf across the ice. She’d never fought one before, but today would change that! Running directly for the massive ursine, Magdalene lowers her chin and aims her antlers at the polar bear’s thigh. Digging her tines in deep, she watches the blood begin to spill as the bear lets out an angry bellow.

Saia wouldn't really notice the child until she was making connection with the bear. She wouldn't have wanted a young one to be throwing themselves into a dangerous situation but she wasn't the girl's mother. And she was quite a brave soul when she was young too. Looking after the colorful girl wouldn't bother her too much, but it was on her mind.

The bear was now distracted by both parties surrounding it, giving Saia the opportunity to get her paws back under her. Living in the north was definitely something she was having to adjust to. She took just a quick glance to the girl before locking eyes back onto the large white bear. It was unlikely they would actually scare the beast off, but they would have to make the opportunity to flee the scene. It was used to the icy terrain. Saia leapt a bit forward, causing her to slide on the ice and for a splint second panic before she opened her jaw to grab onto the bear with a bite to the ribs and the rest of her body colliding into the bear. That wouldn't help their predicament much, but in the heat of the moment without being able to stop her paws sliding across the ice, she had to do something.
