Eltrys had seen the herd of antelope as well and, when he pointed this out to the lioness, she nodded in agreement. They moved out onto the plain together, splitting up once they neared the herd.

It took her a moment to locate him, his cover being so good. The lioness gave a faint nod and then it was time.
