To the hunt!

The mild autumn day finds Unagi stretched out on her side down in the Steppes as she spends her time sunbathing. A happy sigh passes her lips as she stretches, the warmth a welcomed change from the frigid temps up on the mountain. When Astraios howls, summon those who wish to hunt, the yearling almost lets the opportunity slip by in favor of a nap in the sun. But the girl is an avid hunter and is always seeking to improve her skills so she leisurely gets to paws and lopes out to where the boy waits.

As she grows closer, Unagi spies a huge, leathery animal with big ears and a long trunk and the girl cannot stop the small gasp of amazement at the sight. Mismatched eyes move to the taller boy, who has been joined by two strangers, as she pulls to a stop near him and she softly asks, “Ya got a plan?” The hide looks tough and it seems like it will take a lot of wolves to take the creature down. Gaze roams over to the colorful strangers and she offers, “I’m Unagi.” Dipping her head in greeting, the girl then returns her attention to the leader of this little hunt and waits to hear what they will do.
