Bright Morning Stars [Monster]

Aerndis was glad that her answer was a good one. She wanted to learn as much about hunting as she could so she could take care of herself and also help out her mama if she ran into her again. She listened carefully as man laid out the plan of attack. That was a lot more sneaking than she thought she'd be doing but she nodded, game to try. "I'll get them to go toward you, no problem." With a confident nod and a few inner words to build her self-confidence she slipped off through the brush.

Aerndis moved in a graceful, practiced fashion. Her body was low, her gait in a smooth roll and she paused every time she felt she was seen. It was slow and agonizing work but her desire to do well overrode her impulse to just get them running. Just as her nerves felt like they couldn't take it anymore she was in position at the back of the herd. With a violent snarl she sprang forward, rapidly eating the distance between herself and the prey. They panicked and scattered at the sudden assault. Several of them fell away but she kept her focus on the mothers and calves that had been at the center of the group.

She collided into the center of the group, twisting and zigging as she worked to keep them heading toward the man. She lost a few but managed to get 5 of the antelope going in the direction she wanted. Three cows, one calf and one male.
