 Maon and Anat had encouraged her to take some time to herself when she had reported to them directly after arriving back home, but Eanah only managed to do so for three days. To be honest, she was amazed she had lasted that long. Sitting around the Sanctuary was soothing enough, good for clearing up her remaining injuries, but she had never truly thrived on being soothed. Only movement and exertion would take her mind off of the past few months, and she knew just what to do to get herself going.
There were rumors that a rising number of Riistäjä had been creeping away from their haunts near Koralifel and invading nearby villages in the night. Some of the rumormongers went so far as to say they were stealing babies, but Eanah doubted that quite sincerely. The animals hunted by themselves, from what she could recall, and she didn't see how stealing something that would cause such a large amount of backlash could possibly be beneficial to their survival. Riistäjä were smart enough. If they saw one of their brethren make that sort of mistake, they probably wouldn't repeat it. She supposed she would see for herself.
It hadn't taken much to get Thren to stay in her rooms while she went exploring. The keindred seemed to be slowly inching toward some sort of rebellious teenage phase, and while it hadn't manifested itself beyond his desire to sleep until midday and eat his weight in meat, Eanah was still preparing for much worse. For now, he was happy to lay around and be pampered while she stalked about in the night.
She crouched in the tall grasses, near to where she had met that powerful Ysali Dovaa so long ago, thinking about her drakein while she waited for the dark bodies of Riistäjä to slink past. She didn't look behind her at all. That was her first mistake.
A low growl rumbled past the air near her ear and Eanah gasped, scrambling to her feet as she turned toward the sound. Her scepter was in her hand before she had fully risen and she pointed it at the animal with an unintentional growl of her own. She didn't bother speaking. Unlike dragons, which she had found possessed a certain measure of intelligence, Riistäjä were just beasts. They could not be reasoned with.
It lunged for her, grazing its claws across the back of her arm, and Eanah cried out in pain. She backed away slowly, her footsteps silent in the dirt. The Riistäjä crouched and sprang again, and this time Eanah only barely managed to throw up a shield before it struck. She could do nothing to effectively retaliate now. She couldn't even hide when she was already this exposed.
With one last frown, Eanah turned and sprinted away as fast as she could, only dropping the shield when she had gone too far to hold it. Next time, she would be prepared.
