i will find another way

As much as Sumayl's siblings had gotten on his nerves, as much as they had fought with one another growing up, he wouldn't have traded those memories or them for anything. Though, with no doubt, there had been times, in his anger at them he had wished he'd been born an only child — as all siblings did — but he had never truly meant it, and reflecting back upon his childhood he was glad that he had not been an only child. He could not truly imagine it but even without that ability it sounded terribly lonely. His siblings had helped shape him into the man he had became and for that he was grateful. Sumayl caught the Juvenile's smile of reassurance and shrugged, accepting it.

Sumayl followed after Summer easily, his steps casual and evenly paced, not wanting to exert too much energy especially because he was going to have to chase and tackle whatever it was Summer wanted to eat by himself (or so Suma assumed). Not that Sumayl minded — in fact there was no time that Sumayl could recall in which he didn't want to show off his prowess to another. The day he was not eager to show off was the day in which the Apocalypse would surely be upon them. The journey was short, and Summer seemed to know his way around The Sunspire extremely well, and when Sumayl joined Summer upon the small ridge, his golden gaze was immediately drawn to the herd of deer that the boy had his mind on.

Instinctively, Sumayl began to search for the weakest link, looking for the youngest or the sickly. Either made an ideal target, though it was the herd's Buck that he would need to keep an eye out for. Sumayl wasn't entirely eager to go head to head with one, especially with an impressive trophy of antlers atop his head. The easiest thing to do was to attempt to seclude the target and chase them away from the herd in the confusion and fear that took them over. “Which one did you have your eye on?” Sumayl inquired in a low voice, wanting to get all the details before he charged head first into the heat of it. Hunting was about precision and execution. Normally, Sumayl would have been watching the herd for days before making his move, watching their patterns closely. He did not have this luxury now and so turned to Summer to fill in the blanks.
