Hunting stars

With the wedding approaching, Fern has felt a restlessness settle over her. It isn’t because she doesn’t want to get married, she just wants it to be over and done with so she doesn’t have to worry about messing everything up. Usually she would be asleep by now but, with Rudyard working late, their shared bed feels awfully lonely.  

So, the gray woman decides to take a walk in the plains and enjoy the stars. The anxiety that had been building in her chest suddenly melts away as she takes a deep lungful of the night air and Fern sets her paws in the direction of the plains. A gentle breeze pulls scents to her nose, alerting to her to deer that are wandering close by.

A gray form catches her attention and Fern angles to join the Hallow wolf as she eyes the deer. Coming to stand with the taller wolf, the experienced hunter gently nudges the woman to get her attention before pointing a paw to the real treasure. A tapir grazes further away, the huge, fat animal truly a prize worth taking. If only Rudy was here to help. Fern is certain that if Rudyard was here, the three of them could take the beast down.
