A small adventure

Sirius watched her, observing her skills and actions. She felt the pressure, but his gaze was not near as piercing as Hattori’s. Sirius was kind and sweet especially when she failed, but her father was a stone of a man. Gaining his approval meant everything and it was no easy feat to impress the Shogun.

The Warlord coaxed her onward, praising her quietly as he gestured towards the herds before them. He questioned her, leaving everything in her paws. "I think we can surprise them from here.” She said confidently, and let Seer follow her through the scarce brush. Moving only when they were mostly looking down and away. Her splattered form blended well with the dappled shadow of foliage.

Over confident Ike continued forward, just about ready to burst forth and grab the small antilope before her. Then the wind shifted. Ike watched all of her hard work go down the drain as the animals scented them and bolted, and she didn’t know when they stopped because she couldn’t even see them anymore. Ike fell back onto her rump and the waterworks began. The young princess began to cry in her failure.
