The dark had long since swallowed the earth and in this darkness a large white shaman waited; he had lain still for hours un moving by the denning area of a deer, he might not have been able to to scent the fawn due to one of nature’s many tricks but he could smell the mother just fine.

Occasionally throughout the night the gentle changes of the wind brought the scent of the adult deer to him and still he did not move. The mother was not his target and finally in the wee hours before the dawn the mother left her denning area. The only movement beyond the mother deer’s was the toothy grin upon the priest’s maw. He waited for long minutes before asking long stiff cold muscles to pick his portly body up and move into the den. Sure enough there huddled in a makeshift nest was a tiny fawn, it barely bleated as the brute stood above it and picked it up. It’s legs flailed as he trotted away with his patiently won prize. This needed to be shared with the pack.

A proper offering to the gods for the spring solstice was long overdue. He moved swiftly toward his blood coated alter which lay somewhere between the Moonshadow Clearing and the Gathering rock in the center of the territory.

He set the fawn down and pinned it below his paw, it’s bleats were futile and possibly weaker then a fawn it’s age should be. Vein raised his head and howled long and loud he called to all whom would welcome the gods into their hearts.

He’d paint them all in the blood of the fawn  then he’d sacrifice the fawn as the first of dawn’s light broke the horizon. New blood was necessary for a new season.
