Silver Moraine The Paths Others Have Trod

Massaraq crept forward, managing fairly well in closing about half the distance, but his white pelt and dark shadows had always stuck out and he caught the eye of a watchful doe. Hoping she would not sound the alarm he continued to stalk forward for a few more steps but as she neared the small band of deer the doe's posture changed a scatter of hooves and he snarled, wasting no more time and lunging forward.

The majority of the herd scattered leaving the four does fleeing in an offshot path from the herd. He rushed to catch up, the doe with the dull pelt beginning to lag behind and snapped at her hooves, catching a clipped blow to his cheek but managing to nip at her heels and begin to force her away in a panic.
