Wapun Meadow The King of the Forest

@Bazi did you want to work on your Gamekeeper trade? Anyone else welcome! I'm just bored and noticed it was foggy in-game, so that makes things fun. :D

A morning fog crept across the meadow. In the time it took for the northerner to descend from the mountains and march in to the flatland in earnest, it was a full-on fog; thick like a slurry of cloud, it's heavy belly brushing the grassland beneath. The humidity of the day increased, while the wind refused to bluster and blow. A soft crooning noise piqued his interest as it pierced the mist, forcing Njal to pause. The thick scent of flowers rose up around him and in that instant, he realized just how valuable this patch of land could be to the Swiftcurrent wolves - he was masked by the scent of many flowers, and again by the fog. A second call rang out and it was closer to him, prompting an instinctual lowering of his sterling silver body. It did not sound like a wolf. Coyote perhaps, but they had been driven afield by Bazi and Fox and many others. When a third call sounded he lifted his head, catching the silhouette of some sort of animal within his vision; but in that moment where his golden eyes caught upon the figure and its briefly exposed face, it too spied upon him. They were at a stalemate for only a breath before the deer lurched forwards, spooked but disoriented, and nearly charged right over the waiting wolf. Similarly, Njal launched himself after it - at least for the chase, since it would be difficult to take down the spry buck on his own.
