Their father gave them a choice, and Mortis remembered navigating the dark crypts with his brother what felt like a long time ago. He remembered Azure hadn’t been quite as sensitive to subtle changes in the air as he had. It didn’t surprise him when Azure suggested him for tracking, and he was glad. He felt it played on their strengths, and hadn’t really wanted to plan out the actual hunt.

“You too” Mortis shot back with a smile, and let himself consider the scents and movements around him. He already knew where the buffalo herd was, but judging by the previous day's hunt, their dad probably wanted something smaller. That was okay, that worked for the boy.

He stuck his nose to the ground, after ordering the Kea to search by air, and got to it. After a time he led them around the prairie, and found the evidence of horses. There was a young horse near the middle of the herd, and it was lying down. It didn’t look like it had been born quite right, and Mortis knew from vague listings, that it probably wouldn’t survive more than a few days out here. Maybe not the most interesting kill, but it followed their fathers directions. “That one” he said, pointing it out to his family.
