never made it as a wise man

The brisk trot she had for the beginning of their journey had a nice tempo to it. Eria was used to traveling at great lengths for unknown amounts of time, so the hunt would be a piece of cake to her. As she kept the same rhythm to her pace, she lowered her head to the ground and began to sniff. Scents from wandering prey from the night before were scattered in different directions, all trails that could lead to dead ends or prizes. What Eria had in mind for breakfast, however, was something she wouldn't mind searching for: deer. Imagining the buck she would bring down with a fire in her eyes made Eria's mouth water. She kept her mouth closed, however, as she focused on which scent would take her to their destiny. Eyes darted left and right, head following tu suite, as she started to sniff faster and quicker, tossing unneeded scents to the side until she found what she was looking for. It didn't take long for her to find the perfect scent and dart quickly through the woods. She had silent paws as she stepped through the underbrush and trees, avoiding any obstacles that were in her way. A dead log was across their trail, of which Eria lightly leaped over without much difficulty. She looked back to see if Cross was following before getting back to her main focus.The sun was slowly starting to rise, the heat coming with it and stretching its long fingers out to the land. Eria remained in the shade, letting the shadows cool down her body after the light jog she had taken with Cross. Her eyes roved around them, the scent pungent in the air in the surrounding woods. Finally, among the trees a few meters away, Eria saw them. Two grown deer, one doe and one buck, were grazing in a small clearing that enveloped the pair from just anyone's view. Eria sniffed the air, checked to see if her scent could be traced by the wind, then quietly walked to the right of the grazing deer. Her pelt helped her blend in with the shadows as she stalked through the foliage. Hunger danced in her eyes, but she maintained the stealthy movements as she got closer to her catch. Speech, |
