Sun Mote Copse To the priest with his broken arrows

Unluckily for Bronco there was another predator on the prowl, who did not have any idea that the bird was intended as a live-learning toy. Once out of boy's sight the poor bird ran straight in the paws of another one, who had been approaching from the opposite direction. Wraen startled it and the prey's heart gave out (avian hearts do not deal with stress well - scientific fact) and it fell in a heap right in front of her. 

"Well, that does not happen every day..." Wraen said to herself, leaned down and nudged the still warm creature with her muzzle. Dead as a door-nail. She picked it up and continued her initial path and would run into the little hunter just around the next bend.
