Panther Park white winter hymnal

There stood the king and his  herd, sipping from the fresh cold of the water. Dakarai crouched down beside olive and watched the magnificent beast for a few seconds before scanning the land for the rest of the herd. He counted several women and children, and began to creep through the tall grass and behind them for a better view.

Experieced eyes took note of the healthy women and the strong children, dismissing them from his list of targets for they would be needed to continue the life within the harem. Then he spotted an elderly doe, head curled against her side and breathing weak. He had made his decision. He snuck into the harem giving a guttural snarl to scatter the harem. Making quick use of his strength he sprang at the resting doe, forgetting to check on the herd master's whereabouts.
