Cheeky little excert from White Ghost and the Poison Arrow...
"""She sets up her targets again, a dozen of them all in the trees. When pinning the last brightly coloured leaf to a tree, Arella pricks her finger with a boroana spine. She winces at the pain, but does not make a sound. She heard something. Just a small noise, a crack of a branch in the distance and a quiet thumping sound, but something doesn't feel right. Arella takes this feeling and does the only thing she can think to do, she sheaths her knife and climbs up the nearest tree with low branches, hiding herself in the foliage.
High up in the safety of the tree Arella listens, and surely enough the sound comes closer to her. A small herd of fawn brown motto deer stampede through, clearly spooked by something. They hit the clearing and scatter slightly, a few go off to the left but most head under the tree Arella is hiding in and keep on going. One of the males gets his moss green antlers caught on a tree branch and panics slightly, freeing himself in the struggle and shaking free leaves and blossom, causing it to rain down on the ground.
Once they can no longer be heard anymore, Arella begins to think about leaving the sanctuary of her tree, believing that the deer were the sound that she heard. She was wrong. Just ask she was about to climb down, he came into view. A large beast with long black fur, highlighted with a deep purple that shined and caught the still orange glow in the air. Her eyes as yellow as the sun its self, looked up at Arella in the tree. Her big paw padding along on the mossy ground, making no sounds as she prowled, the end of her bushy tail flicking as he smelled the air. The big cat was beautiful, and the biggest creature Arella had ever seen on four legs. It was bigger than a wolf by a foot in height, and looked powerful and strong. Arella's breath caught as she realised she was staring right at her. The big cat just watched on under her, under the tree, never moving its eyes from her gaze. This cat was distinctive. It had a large scar covering most of its face, and a white patch of fur behind its left ear. Then quick as a flash she was gone again. Arella has heard stories of cats such as this, ancient auron cats, but thought they were all but extinct in her lands. No one has seen one for over one hundred years, or so her tribal elders have said.
"She could have easily climbed up this tree and taken me." Arella thinks to herself, still clinging to the branch she was holding onto for balance just a minute ago. "Why did she leave me here? He saw me for sure. Those beautiful yellow eyes were looking right at me." She pauses. "Perhaps he was not hungry. Although if that were the case he would not have been following the motto. And I wonder where he came from, I thought they were all gone now." These questions will stay on Arella's mind for quite some time. There is no logical explanation why a creature with as much power as an auron cat would leave something that was as easy prey as Arella was just then, but she did."""
