Phoenix Maplewood Lights down for the one I love.

Unofficial pack hunt, no requirement to join but I wanna write with you all! I did a dice roll and this hunt will be unsuccessful.   :)

Snow fell lightly that morning as Artyom watched the beaver family strengthen their home where Whitebark's stream tapered deep into the neighbouring maplewood. He lingered among the trees at a distance, out of sight as his pale coat blended with a Wintry background. It would be easy to ambush the group whose focus was on applying fresh branches and thick mud to their dam - but it would be better with several pairs of eyes and sets of fangs.

He returned to the heart of pack territory and sent a call up for comrades, and waited quietly for those to respond. After sharing his intentions with his pack-mates, Artyom turned to lead them South with an excited spring in his stride.

"There," he said, hushed as he eased his stride and crouched low, hoping his fellow hunters would follow suit. Nose pointed in the direction of the riverbank where a large beaver sat grooming its sodden furs, he continued: "I think they have been here, undisturbed, for a while. Don't seem very alert for predators." A hungry sweep of his tongue over an upper lip, his earthen gaze remained fixed. With a backward twitch of an ear, he questioned the others: "got any ideas to best tackle this? I want us to take home as many as we can carry."
