It had been a long and arduous trip from Ethne, Eltrys hoped Alex would also like the taste of Caribou and make the trip worth it. It was his favorite growing up and usually worth the trip.
The pines towered above them, and branches creaked and clacked against each other, winter was coming to this land quickly as a light powdering of snow layered the ground. The fresh smell of sap and needles would almost hide the caribou scent he was tracking.
Another scent crossed the trail, two canines, maybe they could team up? Eltrys exchanged a look with Alex and nodded his head in the direction of the strangers, hopefully, he also caught the scent and would understand what Eltrys was alluding to.
The boys approached the other hunters, Eltrys made a low quiet sound, a rumble but not a growl, to alert them to their presence. "Mind if we join you? Got eyes on them already have you?" Eltrys asked in low whispered tones and peered over the edge at the prey.
