Into the Great Unknown

Éldi was focused on the task of hunting, he almost didn't notice the presence of the snow leopard until Valkyrie said something. He nodded and quickly resumed his task, feeling almost bad for the reclusive feline. It had to be desperate to attack them for food but it was survival of the fittest and guilt wasn't enough to make him pass up a meal. He and Val needed their strength for the journey ahead.

The turkeys were surprisingly agile for their size, but Éldi zeroed in on an old tom that wasn't quite as quick as his female companions. With a snarl he darted after the top turkey, nearly tripping over one of the hens as he gave chase. It skittered over a log then took off into the air in a flurry of rushing air just as Éldi leapt.
