"Ashen Steppes, past the Tangled Green... I got it. Thanks for the help, and the warnings, but I think I can handle myself around here. Just gotta get used to the laws of this place and-"
The dragoness cut herself off and backed away from Ludwig and Jr Troopa a few steps when her sensitive ears caught something. Moments after she'd backed away a large brown-furred creature bursted out from the foliage and landed at just the spot she'd been standing at, slamming its two front paws where Alexyana had been with a deep growl. The Kumdo backed away and gave a fearful scream before running away back the way they'd come from. As for the beast... It looked a bit like a bear, but it was longer, with shorter fur and much more developed mandibles - the jaws stood out from the rest of the skull in a similar fashion to a baboon's, but they were sharp and pointy like those of a carnivorous predator.
It had aimed for Alexyana, apparently considering her to be the bigger threat and attempting to get her first. Alexyana eyed the two Koopas for a few seconds, then she turned around on her heel, slapped her tail across the beast's face to enrage it and began to run.
"I'll be seeing you two!" She yelled as she ran from the beast that gave an enraged roar before setting out after Alexyana. The Koopas would be safe, at least for now, while the dragoness did her best to lure the beast away from the path while following her Kumdo.
----------------------------------
She was almost all the way back to the portal before she noticed the Kumdo in the distance and turned around. She allowed the beast to slide past her with its momentum and the surprise, leaping onto its back and digging its claws into the back of its neck. "You're a strong predator, but you got the physique of a bear." She remarked as she cut through the nerves of the beast's body with her claws, killing it before it could even stop its slide. It was a quick, painless death...
She pushed the carcass off the road into a few nearby bushes and examined it. But this one was only a young adult, its fur wouldn't be enough to fashion any warm clothes with it. She cursed to herself, then took the Kumdo's reins and eyed her surroundings. Ludwig and Jr Troopa were far off now... it had been nice to meet them but that conversation was over now. She instead returned towards the portal. Camelot was an interesting place, but where might the other portals lead?
