Shisha held her head high. Her champagne fur, short and velvety, shimmered in the autumn sun. It was slightly thicker this time of year for winter. She was finely muscled, her powerful shoulders rolling as she strode into Alliria. She was massive even for a female devourer. Her paws were easily larger than the biggest jungle cat. Her back stood taller than the cart horses struggling to stay calm when she pushed past.
Devourers were odd beasts. Built like a mix between fighting dogs and bears, they were intelligent monsters. She was perfectly capable of walking around in a town without behaving like a complete animal. Her short bobbed tail held high, she scanned the crowd and paid attention to signs.
Surely someone needed a bodyguard.
Shisha bobbed her head delicately, regurgitating coins into her mouth from her pouch. Hm. She felt around with her tongue. Perhaps fifty left. She was running low. She plucked out a coin and tucked the rest back into the accordioned pouch at her throat.
Shisha delicately spat the coin on a street vendor’s counter, and received a roasted chicken in return. She chewed it as she walked, enjoying the flavor and using the opportunity to show off her fangs. She might have not had the impressive tusks the males did, but she have her crown of thorns and deadly fangs.
