Word Count → 000
Even if Zalen preferred Adonia close to the communal den instinct dictated she find safety for her puppies. Especially after Adonia sensed many were against her and Zalen reproducing. Something told her no one was happy with it, safe of Shawcert and Tharin. The only two she could feel safe with, and both were male. However, Adonia never had female friends, so it was okay...really. Her paws carried her gracefully through the territory. She was too sleepy to dig, so first she'd find somewhere that looked like it could easily be hallowed for her. The slight density of the woods appealed to her and she also focused on being near water. Deer Lake was close and that pleased the young female. It meant food was readily available.
As she came close to the middle of Glen Eyre something caught her eye. It was a hallowed den and it appeared to not be claimed by any wolves. She knew several females beside herself was carrying, so she was being cautious of that. Slowly, her paws brought her closer to the hallowed out ground, ears forward. The young-to-be-mother brought her upper half closer. Nose scanning, ears listening. One could never be too cautious. Finally it seemed safe and she put her whole upper half into the hole to see how much she had to renovate and make bigger. As she looked around a dark lump moved in the darkness. Something was in here, and before she could pull slowly back the hissing noise was enough to make her fly back as a badger came barreling at her. Adonia fell back onto her behind. She went to quickly stand as the badger made another charge at her. Adonia attempted to get out of the way. His teeth came closely at her causing her to yelp out.
She wasn't sure what to do. Everytime she went to move the badger charged hissing and spitting at her.
