AISHA
the night and the dark appreciate
Oh perfect, a sled. The extent of what magic could accomplish never ceased to amaze. Somehow she still was more astounded by conjuring a sled than she was of the gods and vampires; it was always the practical problems with simple answers that impressed her so. The leopard snorted her response, then easily began to change back into the woman of a similar golden hue.
Back in this skin, in her clothes, she pat herself down, checking her body as it was. It was nothing at all new, the swift change from one animal to another, but there was always a moment to adjust. For one, she no longer felt the ground with thick paw pads but leather boots, and her bare face was victim to a cruel wind. They'd come out for this so close to the season change, the tundra was more vicious than ever.
But she ignored it and pulled a fur up over her face, respite in the shelter it provided. By the time she'd adjusted for the journey back in human vestige, there was a sled before them as well as rope. Aisha aided Deimos in tying up the bear, taking hold of her share. "Ready," she replied, beginning to pull, so they could trudge their way back to the citadel.
