Colors of the Wind

Dawn was perhaps the young huntress's preferred time to hunt. The independent girl made her way out of her den, faint sunlight beginning to trickle over the sky. The days were slowly becoming shorter and soon the season of rain and cold nights would soon be upon the Tribe. As a spiritual character, the bronze girl found beauty and color in every season, rain or drought.


The small she-wolf lumbered through the thick plains, her nose taking in the scents that surrounded her. The sun rose quickly behind her, the sky becoming a grey blue hue. Apart from grass, the smell of rabbit was strong. She slowed her pace, carefully placing each paw silently with grace. Rabbits were not usually out in the low light, unless they were hidden in their dens. A plan would begin to form in her mind as her hazel eyes spotted the perfect rabbit burrow. The scent was overpowering, reminding her how hungry she was. As any hunter would, she pushed the thoughts of hunger away and focused her concentration on the rabbit. The creature appeared to be inside in its hole. That was no help, but she would await silently in a crouched position. Muscles tensed, eyes narrowed, tail as still as it could be. It was not long until a shaggy grey head poked out of the darkness, its body soon following behind. The rabbit was a few tail lengths away from its den and without wasting any moments, the girl sprung, teeth swiftly meeting the rabbit's neck. She held the creature's life in her jaws and with hesitation she finally heard a crunch, her prey going limp without life. The girl dropped the rabbit on the grass beside her, opening her maw to speak different words.

"I sorry to take life. Food, tribe must have." She spoke solemnly before returning with her prey. It was a tongue that her tribe mates did not speak often, but she held interest in learning another language. It sounded strange and half the time she couldn't understand what she was saying. What wolves used that odd tongue? She wanted to ask them to teach her how to speak it but the Tribe were the only wolves in these lands, right?
