Haunted Wood The sun also rises

Reyes wasn't so keen on taking orders from a stranger, but seeing as the other wolf was on the side of Teya and protecting her as a bulwark between the elk and certain injury, he allowed himself to be redirected. The order came that the elk should be driven in to the water and at that point Reyes was in trouble; he could drive the prey, but once it entered deeper water he did not know how he would continue with the hunt.

There wasn't time to debate things. He moved to snap at more flesh or goad the creature in to striking for him, letting its path taper towards the deeper portions. If the elk knew what was happening Reyes had no idea — it left a small chasm in the mud that got deeper as it went, and large potholes from where its hooves descended through the murk that Reyes had to mindfully avoid.

When the water got to his ankle level he began to feel the stirrings of anxiety, which were not an aspect he could control within himself. He peeled away from his position and left an opening for another wolf to come and take up the work; seeking the solace of solid earth beneath his feet.
