Llhassa

The grass just below her paws smelled sweet and wet. She shook herself releasing thousands of tiny moons twinkling into the grass where they blinked out one by one as the water drops made their way to the ground. Raigan was dead. Their pack was disbanded. NOw she was no longer safe in the cliffs, on the grasslands, nor anywhere.
As was custom once a pack's leader had died wether from natural causes or otherwise they must disband. The females would normally come together in order to be most protected against their enemies. The males on the other hand would fight over the group of females or go their seperate ways. The females of her pack would come together for protection especially at this time of year so close to the time of snow and ice. the males would duke it out for leadership.
Even before the first fight broke out she already knew the leader would be the ruthless Gaigin. Gaigin tall as a mountain and stronger than anything she'd ever seen. He was however cruel, and most unattractive to her. He would goad her into returning to the newly formed pack, but Llhassa would have none of it. She would instead brave the Jarouri in the forest. They wouldn't have total dominion over all of the vast forest. Their numbers were far greater than those of the luarzi, though the luarzi were gaining ground thanks to Gaigin and his lackies, but the forest was larger than both species could ocupy. The only reason the Luarzi aren't in the foest is because once you get farther into it the more eccentric and dangerous it became.
Drolgans and Balrigans occupied much of the edge of the forest making it hard for the Jaruori to stay alive muchless create more life. Llhassa had seen the large scaly Drolgans that resembled toads. They might look stupid, which they were, and harmless, but those creatures had teeth the size of a Jarouri's claws and the eyes of an eagle. It was no wonder why her ancesters had instisted upon their tribe staying out of the forest instead choosing to live within the mountain range full of hidden dangers of cliffs, snow,ect.
