find a reason to smile everyday

after visiting sea's plain, the yearling wandered further away, she had fun playing in the waves and low tide, but now her stomach was hungry. fairytale was growing more and more hungry, twin peaks face forward as willow trees came into her sight. birds sang their songs within the branches of the willows that sheltered them and their nests. the ground was soft and soothing to her paws as she continued on her journey. there was streams that flowed under weeping willow's roots that came up out of the ground. her tail dancing around behind her, as gentle humming came out from her. some willows hugged closer while others were separated away from the others.

it felt like this land was calling out to fairytale, the beauty of the entire area. the young girl lowered down onto her haunches, her eyes scanning the entire area around her. laid out as if it was painted out just for her. her heart sang out to it too as her own howl played forth. it wasn't a summon or anything of sorts but a gentle call to what ever might be lurking and watching her. maybe the stranger would enjoy looking around and possibly get a bite to eat?

Alaric was out with his cane corsos Maul and Cinder. They weren't too far away when they heard the call of Fairytale. He decided to go check it out of boredom. Large paws carried him through the willow tree land until he grew closer and closer to the call. When to arrived in the area, he found the dame alone. He dipped his head in greeting as he approached, his mastiffs wagging their tails behind him. "Hello Fairytale." He greeted casually. "What brings you here?" He asked, slightly tilting his head and flicking his tail. His stomach growl softly. "Are you up for a hunt?" He asked, looking around the area. There had to be prey somewhere.

Her tail danced around when Alaric had come into veiw with Maul and Cinder. She greeted the trio with a gentle dip of her cranium in return. Moving into his direction offering a gentle nudge to each of them as well. Her own stomach gave a little sound. "I wanted to explore some and then build up my hunger. But we know how I am, I'm always hungry." Offering a warm smile before looking around. The willow tree's hung low, some branches dancing into the waters. "Isn't it pretty?" Her warm tones questioning Alaric what he thought of the area. "Wouldn't hurt to see what kind of prey reside here either, and get a feel for the land." Fairytale added kindly. Her pink eyes sweep across the different landscape, as the water bubbled and gurgled, flowing gently however.

Alaric nose tilted upwards towards the air as he sniffed for a scent of prey. There it was. A medium sized doe was in the area, possibly coming in to drink and nibble on the abundant grass in the area. "I found a scent already." He told Fairytale, nodding to her. He motioned her to follow him his gaze shifting to his cane corsos. "Stay low and stay quiet." He told them, loud enough for Fairytale to here. He would do the same, of course. He lowered himself towards the ground as he followed the scent trails, his cane corsos mimicked his body language as they moved towards the direction of the doe.

Time seemed to be flying on by for Fairytale as her tail danced around behind her smaller frame, all the others within Judila were much larger than her and more powerful. But that didn't stop her from trying and improving her skills and talents. She smiled as eyes scanned the area taking in everything that she could. From the way the wind was blowing because how the leaves and branches danced and swayed. Lifting the leaves from the water around them as droplets fell onto the ground.

The stream blocked out a lot of the noises around them, giving her enough time to situate herself in a sense, lowering her head down to take a drink of the fresh water. She glanced to Alaric, whom seemed to catch the scent of a deer close by. She lowered her belly to the ground, which was damp, slowly crawling in the direction of the prey.

It was grazing upon shoots of grasses, nibbling in areas. The girl fell silent, her muscles tense, like a well tightened spring ready to pounce. But she would await the right time.

Although it was a nice scene before her how the doe was grazing with the wind blowing her scent in the predator's directions, the branches lifting and dancing about as some leaves have fallen slowly from the trees.

Alaric stayed low and kept his voice in a hushed tone as he spoke. "Maul and Cinder will drive her towards us and focus on her back legs. I will go for the throat. Go where you feel is best." He told Fairytale and instructed the dogs. "On the count of three." He told the group, his words still hushed as his muscles tensed even more. "One.." He breathed, "two....three!" Without much prodding the two cane corsos spring forwards in a quick burst of energy towards the doe. Alaric watched as Maul and Cinder herded the deer, bitting at her hind quarters and back legs. The doe was running full speed towards Alaric and Fairytale now. Alaric was ready to pounce and secure the throat.

Fairytale was excited to get to know Alaric more, after all he was a packmate and possible friend. His cane corso's were different and she didn't know how she truly felt about them completely yet, but hoping that they would be friends in the long run. Fairytale mocked that of Alaric's movements, staying low to the ground. Fixing that of the glasses that Atreyu had crafted for herself. A smile crossing her lips while her muscles coiled tightly. Like a spring ready once again to be sprung. Twin peaks shifted as the doe began to run straight for the four of them. Skirting quickly so she wouldn't be trampled over. The does side was revealed to her - her body launched landing on the does ribs. Her teeth digging in as her claws did the same. Clamping down securely.

Alaric watched as the doe suddenly charged right for them. Fairytale had swerved to the side, but Alaric was not budging. He charged forwards towards the doe, his black maws splaying open as he sought the slender neck of the doe. He latched on tight, his fangs burrowing deep into the skin of the doe. Blood filled his maws as he gripped the throat, his grip growing tighter and tighter. Maul and Cinder also charged towards the doe. Maul went to bite down on the right front leg of the doe to prevent a nasty kick to his companion. Cinder mimicked this move and went for the opposite leg. Together the three had immobilized the doe, with the help of Fairytale.

Fairytale had allowed her teeth to rake and bite down into the ribs of the doe as the warm blood began to fill that of his mouth. Her paws clenching as claws scrape into the does side securing her spot upon the rib cage. Shaking her cranium some as skin tore away from flesh and bone. She felt that of the doe begin to lower upon the ground, life seeping from the does body. Growls emitted from Fairytale as she continued to bite and tear and flesh and bone. Blood splattering her own maw and face. Ears laced back against her skull as the doe gave one more bleat out for anyone to come to the rescue although it's fate was already sealed. It was going to be dinner.

Alaric's ears perked at the sound at the desperate bleats escaping the doe's mouth. He continued to pull down on the doe by the neck, tearing the wound in the throat deeper and harder. Maul and Cinder kept the doe in place as they pull the legs back, crippling it further. Alaric continued to drag the doe down, now shaking his head with the deadly grip. His teeth tore and ripped at the throat until a large gash was left in his wake. Blood painted his maws, face, and chest. The doe let out one last cry until it fell silent, it's last breath leaving its chest as it fell limp in his grasp. Alaric finally released his grip, panting heavily. He looked to Fairytale. "Good job." He commented briefly before turning to Maul and Cinder. "Good, you two." He commented to his companions.

Everyday Fairytale was growing stronger and more wise with the layout of the lands they roamed together. Her ears perked forwards as the doe fell, Alaric and the dogs helped, well honestly did most of the bull work for the much smaller butterfly. But she did what she could. A smile crossing her maw as she offered a nod towards the trio. Alaric earned the right to eat first along with the two dogs. Giving them space - Fairytale would wait her turn. He and them after all did the kill, she just helped weaken it. However deep down Fairytale known that Alaric would offer her to eat with them, to get her belly full. She didn't want to move closer without the invite to feast among the three of them. Her tail curled against her side, lowering down to the ground. Her ears and eyes watching and listening to everything around her and Alaric.
