The group moved as one, filling the air with a cacophony of howls and snarls. Announcing their intent for all to hear loud and clear, regardless of the language barriers the beasts had no choice but to make a snap choice. Either stand their ground or flee, as Hattori raced ahead he wondered which option they would chose. Whether it would spell their doom or the wolves of Ashen would return home empty-pawed. He did not linger on the what ifs for long, he simply could not afford too as the pack drew in close, the beasts shadows darkening their forms. And then the ground began to shake beneath his paws, rumbling and thudding as the domino effect swiftly came into play. A flightier beast on the fringes panicked and began to flee, that caused another and then another till the whole group was on the move.
Ignoring the larger, more experienced beasts, Hattori swerved to the side as he eyed the group, looking for one who might panic even more if singled out. One they'd be able to cut off without too much effort, hopefully. As if on cue a female, slightly smaller than the bulk of the group made an almost deafening sound of alarm when she deemed that Hattori got too close. She seemed to be about full grown but lacked the nerve and solid experience of an elder, if they cut her off she'd just run and run, mindlessly without much thought other than trying to escape. The perfect candidate if Hattori had ever seen one.
Hattori let out a rare but sharp bark as if to say this one. And so the chase began in earnest.
