for @Hisaya! or @Kalita plllzzzzzzzzz (hunter)

 

Rebekka knew the cold was coming; a feeling riddled within her that soon the snow would fall and engulf the earth until the dawn of another year came upon them. Until then, she knew where her job lay. Filling the caches was easy work, yet she yearned to roam beyond the borders of Sleeping Dragon for the girl was a flighty soul, she had always been. The woman pointed her compass in a random direction, and began to run until she felt the air leave her in pants. It did not take her long to catch the scent of a herd, roaming throughout the vicinity where pack wolves were scarce. Smart creatures — until the neck of their young were carried in the mouths of wolves. She would be that wolf. 

Observing from a distance, trained eyes easily picked out the weak and the slow from the fast and the strong; from the children to the adults. By her lonesome, the woman opted for the eldest of the herd, the one that would not be missed nor fought for. Waiting silently for the rest to move on and the old to fall behind it's youngsters, her tail swished faster yet steadier in anticipation of the hunt.
