Join the Hunt

Quote:

Finally the hunt was underway! Thane scented their prey, and before she knew it the four of them were traveling in the direction that their victim seemed to be heading in as well. Chrysanthe didn't want to head the hunt, but she was actively looking for the deer that would end up being their target. A buck probably wasn't the best idea in the middle of the summer - they were strong right about now... the children had all spring and the summer to grow as well, but they would be considerably easier to catch than their parents, right? She wasn't sure herself, her experience with hunting this way was very limited.


It looked like she would be playing this by ear.


Although at the very least, she would not be playing at this alone. The yearling was with three others that she trusted as much as herself if not more. She crouched whenever she had the chance, stilling when she heard sounds in the distance. Finally, as the four of them split up a bit, it seemed that they were close enough to see their targets. A small herd, but it was more than substantial. They should be able to pick something from here, right? Chrysanthe licked her lips, moving fluidly to her left and in a somewhat wide arch away from the herd. Hopefully she could get in a position to chase them nearer the wolves that she was hunting with.


She was watching them the entire time, her blue eyes looking for any kind of weakness in her prey. Surely there was one that was sick or injured, one that would put up less of a fight in their struggle to take it down. It seemed that they weren't working on a sort of signal or anything complicated, so the girl was trying to do her part in this. If she could get them running toward the hunting party, they could pick out the slowest of the bunch and start the chase.


With that in mind she slid into place, her ears back and her body completely still as she prepared to start the chase. Before she did so she tried to locate Leon, Thane and Ashtoreth with her eyes. They were all accounted for - they were in places where this might just work! And so, she waved her red tail once, before barking, breaking into a run, and working hard to find a target among the beasts. Her blood began to sing, her heart thumping in her chest - hopefully she hadn't singlehandedly ruined this hunt. They all had been waiting - was this what they had been waiting for?
