Witch didn't like the taste of lizard meat. It was nothing like the lantern mice she would eat with her colony. This was bitter. But it was what she had to eat- the Rot took more energy than it used to, and the lantern mice and spiders she would eat when she wasn't exiled didn't provide enough anymore. She sucked it up and continued to eat, her teeth ripping into the lizard hide. It was tough. She could really go for some lantern mouse right about now. Pushing the karma flower in her fur into a more stable position, she got up and tossed the lizard remains into the flooded waters of Riverlands. Witch watched it sink out of sight. She stood for a moment, then the Rot on her back alerted her to a rock that had been thrown at her and was now approaching at a high speed. All she had to do was move a slight bit and the rock missed, skipping across the water in front of her before sinking like the lizard remains. Although she was tempted to look behind her, Witch didn't, choosing to wait to see if another rock was thrown. None came. Instead, she heard the soft padding of another slugcat's footsteps. She looked behind her, scanning the bushes for the source, when she noticed something rather odd, at least for Riverlands. One of the bushes was burning. Under the burning bush was a slugcat. It was orange and red and yellow like fire, and had rocks on its back and paws. The new slugcat watched Witch intently. Witch stared at the peculiar slugcat, not knowing whether she should make the first move. It stood up, hitting its head on one of the burning branches. However, it didn't seem fazed, and it walked through the bushes to get to Witch, leaving a small trail of fire behind it. Its expression seemed more confused now, Witch's more concerned. As it moved closer, Witch stepped back, almost falling into the water. It stopped getting closer as it noticed how concerned Witch was and stepped back, smiling softly. "Hey," it said in a soft voice as it waved, "I'm Ember. I wasn't expecting to find another slugcat out here."
