The pup, he still didn't know her name, said that she would never hunt the deer on the island. He believed her. When she said that she wanted to hunt but she was too small, Chimera scoffed. "If you're small then you hunt small things." It was logical, right? Who in their right mind would try to kill huge prey when they were the size of a rabbit. Maybe that was where they would start.

"Come," he instructed and moved back across the barrel bridge to Dove Island. There was a lot of prey here, including the birds after which the island was named. Winter was making the tropical wildlife very slow. Easy pickings, really. "Wait there," he instructed again. Chi left the girl on the beach while he disappeared into the snow covered foliage.

Some time later, Chimera emerged once more, but this time he had something in his jaws. A sluggish dove had been an easy target. Without the girl seeing, he'd snapped one of its wings. The bird was still very much alive and was struggling between his jaws. He had been careful not to puncture its flesh. That would be up to... whatever her name was.

Tossing the bird onto the sand, it instantly made a beeline back towards the safety of the brush and trees. "Catch it. Kill it. Think about what you're doing before you do it." Chi came to stand behind her, giving the child enough space to work. "Find the birds scent. Follow it. Be mindful of the sound of your paws." They could work on wind direction next time. Was he already thinking about next time?
