an antelope had stumbled into the ravine, wolf-torn and exhausted. its blood scented the hot air as it collapsed gratefully in the shade of a sandstone arch.

zoug's single eye watched from a high distance; the man turned noiselessly and went to gather the others.

food was forthcoming, and when he returned, the antelope was still. silent. only the heave of its flanks showed it was alive.

he gestured that the children should stay far back, and with other hunters, crept forward to see where a wound could be made.

the antelope lifted its head and bleated pitifully, and zoug rushed at that moment.

Andi stared with surprise at the large creature heaving and dying at the treeline. She didn't quite know what was going on. She looked for someone to go against, to watch safely with a friend. She wasn't scared per say, but she was certainly unsure what to expect.

And the sound the creature made. Her ears went to her skull in surprise. IT was then she watched as Zoug struck true. The other hunters following. Could she help? How?

Follow your father, Gaara. There is food. The sand hunter speaks and she is swift, gathering the boy joined then by her kin, to the desert deer which laid to rest. A final rest, for the wolves had already taken its life and the coyote this day were able to reap the benefit. 

She trotted in, bothering not to take caution from a prey so close to death. In but fleeting seconds, the antelope was dead and Ko'a was feasting.
