Ta'Tuq is a barn owl, and Naniko's companion :3
Ta'Tuq had alerted her to the presence of the other canine before they had even been able to cross the border. Naniko sat on a high, solid tree-limb, watching their approach with intensity in her jade gaze. Her claws dug into the bark beneath her, fingers tightening around the branch in anticipation of what was to come. The canine seemed unaware of her as they crossed below, their black pelt allowing them to fade into the shadows every few moments as they passed beneath objects below her. The beast paused when they reached the borders, looking around a few times before choosing to breach them and step into Anathema.
She waited still, unsure if they were really that stupid or if they were simply confused by the border. She couldn't smell them very well due to her height, but occasionally caught a mixture of scents on the breeze. They were a loner. Maybe they were trying to cross through the territory on their way over the mountain, and did not want to go around. That choice would be their death. As they continued into the packlands, she dropped down from the tree. Naniko was in her optime form today, wearing nothing but her usual weapons-belt. She carried an axe and two daggers, along with the ceremonial dagger that she used to initiate members into the pack. As she approached the stranger she gave a signal to Ta'Tuq with her hand. The owl began screeching loudly in alarm, disappearing off into the trees. He'd bring more pack members to help Naniko deal with this intruder.
