All The Words Are Going To Bleed From Me
Idunn Hunting
12-14-2022, 06:07 PM
Terra is out on the hunt again, searching for another suitable prey animal to bring back to Lotus. The scent of many creatures has drawn the girl out to this grove of willow trees and, from within their long branches, she spies some suitable targets. A small group of buffalo drink from the cool water that surrounds the grove, their tails lazily swatting at flies that try to land on their rumps. Emerald green eyes scan the few large animals that crowd the bank, hoping to find a younger, smaller one among them.
Body lays still in the grass near them as she looks, the wind working with her and keeping her scent away from the animals. While there is no youngster near the group, she does hear a sound in the grass a little way off and turns to find her prize grazing there. The herd has grown confident in their ability to survive and the worry for the younger one wandering too far has waned. Unfortunately for them, Terra is very hungry and, she is confident that, if someone appears, the young buffalo will not leave this place alive.

Black-rimmed ears turn back at the soft sound, the girl’s head turning a moment later to find Iðunn approaching silently. A grin tugs at her lips as the older wolf joins her and the girl waits to hear what she thinks. Terra cannot help the flash of surprise that crosses her features but she quickly covers it with a happy smile. Dipping her head in agreement, she says, “Alright.” Green gaze turns back to the young buffalo and she quickly works to put together a plan.
Eyes find a large bush that is some ways out but it would perfect for concealing a wolf. Pointing paw to it, she says, “You hide in that bush. I’ll drive the animal to you and together we take it down. Okay?” Eyebrows raise in silent question as she waits for the woman’s approval before the experienced wolf moves off. Patiently, Terra waits in her hiding place, looking from the young buffalo to where she expects to find a set of blue eyes staring back at her.
Once Iðunn reaches the spot and signals her readiness, Terra takes a deep breath and holds it. With a sharp nod as her only warning to her hunting partner, she releases the held breath and, at the same, time pushes off the ground. She raises, running swiftly and silently towards the waiting target. A sound of alarm rings out but the herd is too far away to help and she is swift to begin driving the creature toward the waiting ambush.

Terra races toward the young buffalo, long legs galloping across the earth with ease. The young animal startles and turns to flee but it is forced to go in the direction of the wolf’s choosing. Hooves pound the ground as blood thunders in her ears, the thrill of the hunt singing in every fiber of her being. Closer and closer the pair draw to the ambush point and, as they charge alongside it, Iðunn springs out from her hiding spot.
The experienced woman is able to dislocate the left hind knee of the beast but it continues to try and hobble onward, determined to shake the wolves. Terra runs up its left side and launches herself at the side of its throat. Unbalanced and scared, her move forces the buffalo to try and brace, which means placing more weight on its dislocated joint. With a cry of pain, the leg buckles and the trio fall to the earth. It thrashes wildly, trying to uses its hooves to keep the predators away.
Releasing her grip, Terra moves to pin the front legs to the ground and shouts, “Go for the kill Iðunn!” With its front legs pinned and its only good back leg pressed against the ground, the beast has no defenses left to fight them off with. Not that it doesn’t still try to anyway.
