To say she was disappointed was an understatement. She'd gone looking to see the results of her decorating the skulls, only to find it fixed up as if nothing had happened. It's like they hadn't learned anything at all. The worst part was she didn't have the spirit to repeat the trick. Knowing that coyotes were behind it had crushed her spirit. Terra had never thought of coyotes as cruel before, yet here they were acting worse than even the cougar she fought. It was the first time she felt shame for her bloodline. Not even being part wolf when surrounded by coyotes had done this to her. Being part wolf had been an advantage, boosting her size. Looking at the coyotes here she couldn't even claim to have any advantage to her lineage.
Sighing deeply Terra sank into the ground. She was resting in the woods she'd used as an escape route last time. Terra had even taken the time to find the various traps in the area, and disabled them or set them as it worked to her advantage. Terra's escape routes were clear of traps, while areas that bigger canines would go through had the traps reset. The locals probably knew about the traps, but it amused the small part of her that was still willing to laugh to picture them falling prey to their own traps. Burying her muzzle deeper into the snow Terra shivered slightly. Her tracks were all across the snow now, crossing patches of mud. Anyone who wanted to could find her easily. She just hoped it wasn't a coyote.
