Whisper Beach.
Zana had been spending too much time away from her clan and she knew that sooner or later she would be found if she did not return. The little woman loved her family in Inferni but she had set out to explore the lands and see just what was waiting for her out there. So far, she hadn't like what she'd found. The clan had been right, the wolves of the lands for the most part were cruel and twisted creatures, ruthless enough to kill a child if given the chance. The women seemed a little more reserved but she would be willing to bet that they were just as wicked in their ways.
The little girl had climbed up into one of the scraggy little trees that attempted to grow in the dunes so close to the bay. The ocean waters beating against the sands echoed in her ears as she waited for one of the stupid little gulls to come down and attempt to snack on some juicy morsel from the sea, then she would show them. Her eyes shone as one did just as she'd been hoping for, moving down to the sands and picking at the bony remains of a fish carcass. She chuckled to herself darkly as she placed one of her precious small dart into the peashooter and took aim at the bird. She'd learned overtime to be patient and line everything up, knowing that if she didn't that her ventures would fail.
Drawing in a deep breath she gave a short powerful burst of air down the slender tube, the sound of the dart whistled as it rang true. In the blink of an eye the bird let out a squawk of alarm. She smiled to herself as the still form of the bird lay there on the sands, Colibri had shown her the deadly poisons but she probably hadn't thought that the tiny girl from Inferni would experiment and increase the dosage until it could bring death in a heartbeat.
