She still fumed over the waste of energy, over the loss of the meal that the skinny little filly had been. Not a feast, certainly, but when she had first taken notice of the creature surrounded by all the taller horses it had seemed like an easy meal. Things had not turned out that way, not at all.

The harpy had flown all that way for nothing and had returned to her nest empty handed. She would not be able to get away with such pointless trips for long - soon there would be two extra mouths to feed in addition to her own and they would not be used to going hungry as she was. Not at first, but the brutal heat of Tallsun limited her hunting. During the day most creatures were in hiding and without the moon, her human eyes were poor in the night. She needed to plump up so the little creatures could feed from her, so she could see them grow fat and strong in turn. And she was running out of time, they'd hatch any day now.

Circling low above the sand and rock, she completed another turn above the Throat - keeping a special eye out for any sickly horses - before returning to her nest. From yesterday, a half-devoured carcass of a hare lay limp and bloody.

Hardly ideal, but it would do for now. It was something.

The large nest weighed down the scraggly desert tree that it had been made in using grasses and mud to keep it together, pieces of palm used to shelter the eggs from the sun. With her added weight, the nest sunk down another foot or so until it was only four feet above the earth. It hardly mattered, there weren’t any predators that the Harpy feared - not here.

Diligently, she settled herself down to cover the eggs from the chill of the night before choking down sinew from the hare.

For now, it was time to rest until the dawn came and she might hunt again in those early hours before the sun scorched everything once more. Time to dream of feasting on the flesh of the horses that believed themselves the masters of this land.

pictured the tree like this so low but not on-the-ground. Hit me up if you want anything changed! <3
