I BURIED THE UNSEEMLY URGES

the patter of feet slowly moving across ice could be heard. the penguin was trespassing, sure, but the woman of yellows and pinks did not know this. she hardly knew of clans or realms. she simply knew that she had found ice and snow. her calling. so, she was excited to relax there.

currently, she was trying to peck a hole in the ice wo she could catch some fish. it was going well when she slipped and let out a squawk of shock. flapping her flippers until she was on her feet and looking about. then, she went back to picking at the ice. as if she never fell.

THE WAVES WILL BREAK! -- hellhound. regent.

he had been watching this penguin for some time, determining if it was prey or a sentient creature. a low growl escaped the hellhound as he moved through the snows and ice of his land, dark pelt hidden by the yellow-white fur of a polar bear, his own short fur a curse in the frozen lands of the north. slowly, the regent would move closer, his eyes fixed on the penguin, wondering how penguin meat would taste and licking his lips as he stalked the innocent trespasser.

as he crept closer, he would inhale her scent and rumble uncertainly. surely, this morsel had to be prey, right? he didn't want to chase off potential food ... especially not something as unique as this. but, she was alone, so she had a fair chance of being sentient right? there weren't any other penguins around, but the arrival of one led him to have hopes of there being an ocean somewhere, of a massive body of water. swallowing as he moved closer, edging around a boulder and slowly stepping onto the ice before his paw slipped and he was sent crashing down onto his shoulder with a pain-filled bark. well, there went his chances of supper, she probably would have run off now that he was revealed.

the bark made her jump, and she would slip as he had. a surprise honking like noise left her. then, she flailed both feet, and subsequently her rump, before rolling and getting up. then, she waddled to the larger beast. sliding here and there. she would stop beside him and look him over with worried eyes.

"oh are you okay?" she asked with true worry in her voice. sure, the other was hunting her a moment ago, but now they were hurt. she hated that for them. "i can't do much in the way of healing, but if i get under this ice i can feed you. would that help?" she asked. flapping her flipper-wings.
