tracks in the sand

Hey fam, this is a pup mandatory tracking lesson! It'll stay family friendly, and Fortune has the patience to at least make it fun. Everyone else is welcome as well, but it's going to be a basic lesson. A more beefy (read: bloody) lesson for aspiring hunters will be up after this one is complete. I'd like replies by next Friday, the 28!
The sheep had moved on. That's what happens when it gets colder out, and Fortune felt a pang in her chest-- maybe she should follow them. No. This was her family now, and they would be able to subsist on the prey they had. Still... it hurt. Winter was coming, the pack was growing, and there was no one to help her hunt. Faite, sure, but she was even more busy now as their primary alpha. Where had Regulus gone? Surely he was handling something. Still, it was Fortune's turn to step up. It was her turn to make her mark on the pack that her family had run for so long. This was part of being an Adravendi, right? This was part of being one of them. There's something fantastic and final about the way that she's come here, so why not make the most of it? Tracks. There were sheep tracks nearly everywhere, and she was able to discern what direction they'd moved on. It was in a hurry, too, as if the shift in photoperiod meant the end of the world. Days were colder, and it had rained-- perfect conditions for tracks in the wet grass and even mud where they'd grazed the plains bald. Yes. This was a good time for a lesson. She'd show Faite that she was ready, that she could make a difference. She'd show her that this was the right place, and that she could step up within the pack. A howl. For the children, for the pups, for the progeny mostly. Anyone could come, and maybe Fortune could assemble a rag tag hunting party out of what remained. She draws away from the tracks so they won't be disturbed, moving to a more open area on their beautiful stretch of land. They would come. They needed to come. She'd wait for a reasonable amount of time and start when they were ready. Sounded good. fortune shock & awe |
