She had woken up that morning feeling fine. Just okay. Everything was peaceful and then she had decided to have lunch down at the beach. Why not? It was a beautiful and warm day. There was nothing that she had to immediately tend to so having some time for herself would be fine. At least that was what she had thought would happen. The prey she had brought with her was the small remains of a rabbit that had gotten stuck in the swamp and couldn't make it out. She had eaten much of it by the time the weird nausea had struck her. It made her muzzle crinkle in disdain. The view of the ocean forgotten as she tried to fight back against this sudden wave. But the longer she waited for it to pass the stronger it seemed to get. A shudder rippled through her body and she pressed her head against her paws, swallowing thickly. But whatever it was it didn't and wouldn't be denied. Almost immediately it hit her hard again, this time it was not passing and the Luminary lunged forward onto her paws.
She rushed to what she could see as a small sand dune, the sand shifting underneath her paws and she hardly made it over the top before the sick funneled from her throat. Acrid was the taste and she coughed before shaking her head and sliding back down the sand dune almost looking appalled. What bug had she caught? She pressed her paws against her stomach, feeling antsy now. It just didn't make any sense and she flicked her tongue, hating the taste in her mouth.
