For the seeker who found the purest of hearts

Eris is by Nat!

The dark woman felt her balance wobble, hitch, and finally give way, like some ruinous human structure's collapse. She was falling, sharp pain in her leg and the sudden thrust forward from the pale wolf sending her careening backwards. Eris knew she would not be able to save her stance, and went with the fall, hoping there were no roots or rocks on which to strike her head. Even as she fell, she tried to turn, both attempting to wrench herself free of the pale woman's grip and roll away.

Nothing was ad rem save the present moment. There was no time to think or lament her lack of skill in fighting. Perhaps what she lacked in skill, she made up for in rage and indignation -- she defended her claim as her ancestors had for many thousands of years. This was a sorry substitute for skill, however, and the dark-furred woman could only blindly grope for whatever it was she was supposed to do in this situation.

There was cold where her body touched the snow, but it had served to pad her fall some, and the hybrid felt only the sudden jar of stopping as she landed on the ground. She was thrashing and flailing the arm closest to Tayui still, throwing her weight in attempt to roll and stand again. She had to stand -- height was her advantage in this form, though she thought perhaps she might have fared better in halfling form. There weren't even seconds to spare on regret for her choice of body, however.
