through the looking glass

~*~ There now, after several hours of patient waiting, it all paid off. Silverback had her first glimspe of a wandering wolf. It was a odd looking one from this height - just an earthy brown with a lighter brown, almost white stripe down the back. A skunk? Did Silverback really want a wolf which resembled one such repulize creature? Then again, this was a very distant look, perhaps she was being too hasty. Either way, this trap of her was luck of the draw. Or rather, luck of the hungery. Like any good creature going fishing, she had brought bait this time. It took the shape of a half eaten deer that Silver had hunted and mostly devoured herself. It was after that of course, that she added in enough motherwort and rock willow root to knock out a horse. She rubbed it into the delicious raw meat and then dragged the thing by the shreds of hide towards the edge of the pool near the rocky base of the mountain. The meat had been delicious and tender, and the carcuss had had enough time to fill the area with it's enticing aroma. If the she-wolf ate of it, depending on the amount, she'd be asleep in a matter of minutes. Hopefully she wouldn't ingest the whole thing, or she might never wake up. They were powerful herbs that Silverback had had to reach deep back in her memories to find. Her mother had had an extensive knowledge of poisons, but had never bothered to try to pass it on. What the she-leopard knew was just from watching. But then, that's how some of the best lessons are learned. Now all that was left to do was wait and watch her little guppy. |
