In over her head.

That's what Koi was.

It had seemed like such an easy hunt: an injured young boar, alone, its tusks not even grown in. It hadn't seen her--she knew they had horrible eyesight--and didn't notice her as she grew closer, spear at the ready. Normally she wouldn't even dream of taking on a boar alone but she had the upper hand here and this was a rare opportunity.

So confident was she that she forgot one crucial fact: boars rarely traveled alone.

And that boar's mama was pissed.

A great deal of squealing and screaming later and Koi found herself stuck up a tree, her spear out of reach on the earth below, while beneath her the boar grunted and paced, clearly wanting to make sure her tormenter would not be tormenting her again and her baby again. Heart hammering in her chest and sweat beading on her brow, Koi shifted her balance on the branch she was perched on and watched the two through the leaves.

Go away, already!

She didn't know how much time had passed since she'd gotten herself stuck up there, but enough time for the jungle to grow darker. And she did not want to still be here at nightfall; larger things came out in the dark.

A sharp crack made her freeze, all thought clearing from her brain and leaving behind only a singular one: Oh shit.

The branch. That was the branch. Koi held her breath. as though the slightest move would break it, but that didn't stop it from giving another low, ominous crunch.

Her time was very quickly running out.

Just then suddenly there was rustling through the bushes some distance away from the tree Koi was trapped on. The noise grew louder and louder so much that it actually started the mother boar and it's bady, causing both pigs to squirm and flee from what they assumed was a large predator already out. Seconds later however Koi would see it was a wet brown cloaked figure coming out of the brush and dripping all over. The stranger was struggling just to make another step forward, breathing heavily, murmuring in an female voice.

A moment later the mysterious newcomer dropped face first to the ground in front of Koi's tree.
