Brandr kept an eye out for Ambi. As the great black eagle settled down nearby he knew that Allegro and Corvus were in position. Now it was time to spook the heard. Brandr tipped back his head and howled loudly, calling the others into the haunting chorus. He lowered his head, eyeing the herd as the became more alert, shuffling back and forth uncertainly. He raised his voice again, calling until he decided it was time to charge.

"Alright, let's go!" He tilted his head and grabbed one of the sticks with flaming pitch on the end that had been set upright in the snow. He darted toward the nearest mammoth. It started to turn toward him and he whipped his head to the side, slapping the flaming pitch into the creatures leg. The jolt of pain and instinctive fear of fire caused a strange rumbling to shake loose from the creature as it turned and started to run. Spirits they were huge!

Brandr darted toward another, urging them to run before he spied the beast that would make the best target. It was an elderly creature, moving as if it had arthritis in its lower back. His tail flagged to Ambi who grabbed the pitch stick from his mouth and flew higher to burn the older mammoths face, encouraging it to head for the cliff. "This one!" Brandr called. "Let's go for this one!" He snapped at the ankle, fangs tearing out hair and breaking skin. It wasn't enough to do serious damage but pain was pain, and pain would allow them to drive these beasts forward.

With now all the instructions are given for the hunt, Lyric noded ready to help with the fire. Lola was ready to help as well, and they're both waited for the hunt to start and soon it did. Brandr gave the word and both Lyric and Lola grabbed a stick with fire on the tip, Lola using her hand and Lyric his mouth and soon he rushed forward. Changing direction toward the one Brandr had chosen. Lyric attempted to run to the opposite side of the beats' rear from where Brandr was and both Lemur and wolf attempted to place the burning tips into the mammoth's skin, wanting to help drive it to where they intended to. It ignited part of the wool and soon the mammoth ran in the desired direction. "Speech"

It was time for the hunt. Corvus had been appointed to a specific task - he and Allegro were to head down to the bottom of the cliffs and wait for their prey to be sent over the edge. While everyone had an important job he viewed his as particularly dangerous. Though he wasn't the thrill-seeking type, he was almost eager to get his blood pumping as he and Allegro dove in for their kill. Maybe it was the distraction he craved. Either way, he was ready. He and Allegro couldn't see much from this position but all he could do, once they reached the spot they planned to wait, was to imagine what was occurring above. He had to hope that despite the dangers present that everyone was being smart and thinking on their feet. Suddenly after some waiting he swore he felt the earth tremor beneath his paws. "Shit," he mumbled, somewhat incredulously, casting his gaze from Allegro to the cliffs that towered high above them. "Did you feel that?"

Twig took in a deep breath when she saw the signal from Brandr’s eagle. Corvus was ready, and she would prepare herself as well, releasing her breath into the air as the master hunter did. She sang her heart out so the pack might find prosperity in their work. She stelled herself and followed the motions Brandr took, taking up her firebearing responsibility. Twig stayed a little farther back than Brandr, she wouldn’t verbally admit how afraid she was of them. Her movements wouldn’t either despite the distance she gave the woman was fierce. She waved her fier and barked through her teeth. Eagerly working to try and separate the blinded creature from the rest of the healthy herd. Hopefully they would act like bison, it was better for the weak to succumb.

Twig danced and dove, doing her best to harry the beast forward. She couldn’t think about how dangerous a position they were in, there was no room for doubt. Only victory.

Shae knew she needed to stay back, and even with her huge paws she was going to struggle running through the thick powder. She wasn’t sure a mammoth would hae the same difficulty she did. They seemed to move effortlessly through the snow. Her bright blue and lavender eyes returned to Brander as he began to lead them forward and she too joined her voice calling into the sky.

The young Destruction girl wouldn’t be assigned to carry a fire stick so she didn’t, instead she would continue to call out ferociously as she tried to bolster the pack’s numbers from afar. She didn’t dream of glory, she just wanted to see her pack succeed. Plus she wouldn’t admit but she didn’t appreciate how massive the beasts were. With one wrong move it could crush any one of them beneath its huge feet.

Allegro worked his way down the cliff with Corvus, peering up at the edge above them eagerly. He did have to admit that he was mildly disappointed that he wouldn't get to participate in herding the beasts forward, but getting in on the kill itself was equally as exciting. He didn't know if a beast that size was going to survive this kind of fall in the first place, but if it did he and Corvus would be here to ensure that it didn't live much longer. His ears twitched when he heard Brandr's howl announcing the hunt and soon after there was a steadily building, distant rumble of huge feet beating the ground. Clearly they had started getting the herd moving so perhaps the fire had been effective after all. He nodded to Corvus when his fellow hunter mentioned the tremor in the ground under their paws. "Yeah... We should probably find a spot where we'll be close enough to jump in once it falls but not risk being in the landing zone." The last thing they needed was to get crushed by the damn thing on its way down.

Walk | "Talk" | think

As promised, the young pup was regretfully staying back from all the action. It felt like her role in this hunt was so small, but remembering her contributions during the discussion to take down the beast, she still felt quite mighty. She let that power course through her triumphantly. She stayed out of the fray, but her eyes caught the massive beast as Brandr pointed it out. She took off towards it, getting within a decent proximity of it, sticking alongside her sister as she puffed herself up to try and make herself appear as big and threatening as possible even if it was nothing compared to the size of the beast they were trying to take down. She barked and howled as loud as she can in an attempt to scare the beast, proud that it was a contribution she could make.

You Can Break Me Down If It Takes All Your Might ___________________________________________________________ Balthier joined the younger wolves in the back of the group as they met just before the hunt. When Brandr started the chase, he kept a close eye on both Shae and Psalm, he figured his brother, Solo, could take care of himself. He still had an overall eye on the young ones he was with, he wanted to keep them all in line so they wouldn't get hurt. Now that he was away from Allegro he felt like he was in charge, whether that was to his siblings or the rest of the seedlings. Of course, he wasn't a jerk about it. They proceeded forward, Brandr calling out the one they would drive to the cliffs. Balthier was much too focused on his group to watch the other commotion of the adults doing their damage. He moved forward, tapping Shae on the hip before letting out his own nasty snarl. He was testing his not-so-changing voice, he still had plenty of time before he was considered a man. He turned his head to look towards Psalm, hoping she wasn't too far behind him. Walk "Talk" ___________________________________________________________ Because I'm So Much More Than Meets The Eye

Psalm was with the other pups, kept from the action but she honestly wasn't bothered. She could feel her brother's gaze on her and the girl glanced at him over her shoulder, sticking her tongue out at him playfully. The girl had quickly grown closer to her brothers since her sister's sickness had taken her out of commission for as long as it had.

They would start forward, Brandr pointing out the giant they'd single out and Psalm lifted her own voice into the cacophony. Psalm tried to keep herself as aware as possible and noticed her brother glancing around for her so she picked up her pace to rush up beside him, pressing in as close as she felt she could without tripping them both up.

Brandr raced along after their quarry. After delivering his message, Ambi swooped down low so Brandr could again grab his pitch stick. So far the flame managed to continue burning despite his running. He twisted his head, ramming the flame into the creatures lower leg as his companion pecked and hassled it, working to keep it going in the correct direction. The pitch was so sticky that part of it stuck to the mammoth's leg. This had the effect of driving in the burning pain that drove the beast forward at a surprising rate but the loss of the piece of pitch left little of Brandr's own flame. A moment later his torch went out. Brandr tossed it to the side and put on speed as he aimed for the front right leg of the beast. Twisting his head to the side he delivered a blow with his fangs. The hide was thick but not impenetrable.

Ambi's shrill call pierced the air and Brandr realized they were approaching the cliff. He howled out a warning to those in wait and also his fellow pack mates. They almost had it.

ooc: Due Date - June 7 - I'd like to reply again before I no longer have internet. If anyone needs some extra posts to make the 3 post requirement let me know and we can work something out.

Lyric rushed beside the beast as the fire that his companion carried in her hand helped with driving the mammoth to the desired direction. The rest of his pack mates worked splendidly as like the unit they were, they were getting it. And as that recharged his energy he did his best to keep up with the run, having not a good physical condition as he was just a healer not someone of a very active task. Only the long travels helped but never he had to chase.

His tongue poked by the side of his open jaws, feeling his heart pound hard from the extreme race.

Oc- I would like to have the three post req , I need these points <3

"Talk"

Onward they hollered and harried the massive beast with fang and fire. Twig dove in and out on the shoulder opposite Brandr so the giant beast could see her fire. Partially blinded by the light and mostly blinded by fear it barreled onwards towards its doom. Twig continued beside it, her dainty paws carrying her through and on top of the snow as fast as she could. The only reason she could keep up was the snow the mammoth had to fight through. She realized as Brandr called out that now was the time to fall back anyway. She continued to wave her fire and run, but didn’t try and catch back up, only steer their prey where they wanted it to go. She said a silent prayer for Corvus down below as she watched the inevitable unfold.

Shae grinned brightly as Balthier reminded her where he was and he let out his own vocal attacks towards the great beast. The girl grinned despite the howls and barks that left her as she tried to convince the creature she was much bigger and older than she looked. She was getting close to like Twig’s size and she was running up right next to the mammoth! Shae was chasing but she was also watching, this was some incredible feat that the group of them could take such an animal down for themselves. Blue and lavender eyes couldn’t be taken from the massive reddish form. It was nearing the cliff but Shae would slow her efforts, she continued to cry and make a commotion as they aimed to drive ot over the cliffside.

You Can Break Me Down If It Takes All Your Might ___________________________________________________________ Balthier gently pushed Shae with his nose as the torch Brandr threw obstructed their path. He quickly looked behind him to make sure no one was behind them and would trip over it either, but he didn't see anyone. He kept up his howls and growls, he was determined to keep his part in the hunt considering he couldn't do more. He wished he could be along side the adults or even down at the bottom of the drop with his father, but he knew it couldn't be that way. Maybe one day when these mammoth prey weren't on the lands. He looked back once more to psalm, a smile on his face as he let out another yodel and prepared for the giant to go over the edge as expected.

Even now, Satire wished she could help more, but keeping her distance also meant the adults would fret less… that was helping in it’s own way, right? She kept her eyes on the creature as they drove it to the cliff. She joined in vocally. All she could think about is the amount of food they were going to get from this beast. It would be enough to feed the entire pack so many times! It was hard for her little brain to comprehend. She was howling and crying again, hoping that soon the creature would fall over the cliff as they had planned.

Speech

With a light giggle, Psalm matched her brother's yell with one of her own, fighting down the flash of a fear instinct as the torch caught on the creature's pelt, her eyes growing wild but the rush of the hunt was upon her now, paws flying over the ground and her mind focusing in on the beast they'd started driving away from the herd. Her voice lifted of its own accord and her calls became more primal, less controlled. It was only as the mass of other young wolves around her started to slow that Psalm would return to a sense of control, her limbs aching from the pounding of her run and protesting as she started to dig in her heels, slowing, but not stopping. It wasn't over until they drove the creature over the cliff and she though she wouldn't be reckless Psalm wouldn't stop until the job was done.

Even without Brandr's warning howl, he could hear the loud thudding of the mammoth's feet hitting the ground as it moved getting closer and closer to the cliff where he and Corvus were waiting at the bottom. He moved off to the side from where it sounded like they were heading and moved closer to the cliff so that if anything the mammoth wound hopefully fall past them instead of on top of them. "Any second now..." he warned, after Brandr's howl, his head tipped up and focused on the edge of the cliff while they waited for the animal to drop. It sounded like they were making good progress so at least he knew their plan of how to chase the thing toward the cliff had been an effective one.

The hunt was progressing, that much was obvious even from where Corvus and Allegro stood, away from the group and out of sight. The steady drumming of the giants' hooves on the ground almost sounded like thunder at first, a low rumble that he felt in his paws before he really heard it, The mammoth was definitely coming this way and he and Allegro had to be sure they were prepared. They were a good distance from the cliff but not too far, and Corvus poised on the pads of his paws to flee backwards if necessary. Ending up under one of those beasts would spell certain death; the thought made him shiver. "C'mon," he urged them quietly as he focused his gaze on the cliff, ready and waiting.

Brandr picked up speed, using his proximity to help pressure their target toward the cliff. He didn't know where the other beasts were. Some ran along beside and others likely had split off in hopes of avoiding the predators. Brandr suddenly put on the breaks as the cliff neared. The mammoth could not stop in time. The cliff appeared so suddenly and as a new arrival it had no idea the cliff was there. The beast tumbled over with a huge crash, plummeting down to the base. Brandr quickly shifted course, scrambling along the side of the cliff as he looked for a way down. As soon as he landed he joined in with the wolves below in hopes of aiding them. Already he could tell a number of the mammoth's legs were broken and its lack of hind leg movement suggested paralysis somewhere in the spine. They were in the final stretch now.

The cliff was coming up fast and Twig needed to find a medium between when she should cease her chase. Too soon and the mammoth might balk, too late and she was going over the edge with it. Delicate paws carried her through the slush but she stopped and watched as the giant beast went careening off the side with a final trumpet of protest. Twig followed Brandr to the base of the cliff where Corvus and Allegro were working on bringing the final end. The beast was still struggling but they would soon bring about its demise. Twig raced in, careful of the finality of the flailing limbs, and helped to finish the creature for the good of the pack.
