They Say Be Afraid

The prospect of a massive pack wide hunt was intriguing to young Saracyn. A lethal and enthusiastic hunter by nature, the young male was eager to be involved in bringing down larger prey he otherwise wouldn't have been able to on his own. Sara wasn't usually a team player unless it was with his sister, but he could make exceptions for his family. This new wolf, however... She was a stranger. He didn't know why his parents had allowed her free access into their lands. Sure, she was pretty, but that didn't mean much to the yearling right now. Maybe it would in the future. Maybe that was why his parents had let her in. Did they want to play that special adult game with her too? Dammit, the grown ups got to have all the fun...

The crimson brute strode up to the group as they gathered on the grassy fields of the steppes, cool gaze sweeping over the crowd as he took a seat. Having reached his adult height and matching his father in stature, he towered over almost every other wolf there, especially the tiny grape-colored fae leading their hunt. So far all they'd done was rearrange some of the toppled stone ruins without any directive as to why they were doing this. Duchess wouldn't keep them stewing on the why for long though. They were hunt a rhino. The name brought a curious tilt to Saracyn's head; he'd never heard of such a creature before. He looked first to his mother and father to gauge their reactions before focusing on their lead hunter once more. The plan was simple and unpolished: drive it towards the corral at the Steppe where they would make the kill. Saracyn was about to ask how she planned to kill it, but Duchess seemed to have clairvoyance, as she patted him on the shoulder and explained that he'd be ending the creature's life with his blades.

Cool cobalt eyes moved from Duchess to her dainty paw on his shoulder, staring pointedly at where she was touching him. She was oh so small compared to him, it was almost comical. It would take almost no effort on his part to snap her in half if he wished it. "Let's make this thing dead," he declared when Duchess asked if there were any other questions before they began. Sara was ready for the hunt and to show off the skills he'd worked on with his raptors.
