She strolled slowly, enjoying the crisp air around her as the sun was setting quickly by this time. She reached the edge of the village and looked out over the hillside that heading towards the dragon castle. A faded dirt road marked its way for it. She played with her ring briefly as she glanced over the road before she turned back to head home to the castle.

Halfway along the path, she hears a twig snap behind her. She turns in her wolf swiftness just before something came darting out at her. The new ring glowed bright and seemed to almost shield her from this unknown attacker, buying her time to counter attack them.

She quickly took her wolf form and jumped upon her attacker, snarling and snapping her fangs at their throat. They screamed in fear, not realizing just exactly what she was.

"Who are you?" Ember snarled at them, standing all four large wolf paws on their chest, pinning them in place.

"I- I am not of your concern," They stuttered, clearly scared now.

She snapped closely at them, "Attacking me is my concern. Why?"

"Unknown, I am just sent to do so. I don't ask why." They continued.

"We shall see about that." She grabs him up and drags him up to the castle to interrogate further. Her wolf form speeding easily up the path until she reached the castle steps and changed back to human form as she went. She quickly grabbed his ankle, dragging him along behind her harshly up the stone steps. She motions to the guard to keep him in the dungeon for later.

She quickly heads up to her chambers and draws a bath to temporarily forget of the last moments.
