Danika crouched low in the brushes. She had gotten separated from a group of warriors due to the raging snows and now the mystic was trying to find her way back to Chibale. At first it had seemed a great idea to visit the training camps in Jahaur but now that the weather had turned she wondered about her decisions this morning. Still I better proceed. What she hadn’t expected, however, was for a radaku to be guarding the very path which she meant to take. Down a weapon Danika didn’t know if she even dared to fight the creature but once it had her scent the radaku charged forward, blinded by its rage of the strange weather to care about whatever it was attacking.

For once Danika did not feel so bold. Wincing as she tried to dodge, the mystic slipped on the snow covering the ground and lost her footing. Ice was not something she had trained with and feeling unbalanced already from the lost of a blade the Alkidike found herself at a loss against the radaku who snarled at her in warning. It was circling her and Danika felt her chest tighten with worry. Could she make it out of this?

Mother protect me…

And it was in that moment when Danika was darting forward for her blade that arrows rained down from the higher trees. An earthling had helped her? Gaze widening Danika watched as the radaku let out a yelp and ran away. It seemed that she had lost but that once more Aisha had watched out for her by sending someone to her aid. Thank the Mother…
