Blacktail Deer Plateau Run free

Peregrine rose with the sun, stretched his long, athletic legs and then trotted into the forest in search of prey. He wanted breakfast, of course, but he also hoped to keep proving himself as one of the pack's chief providers of meat. He had been a masterful hunter and quartermaster in Flightless Falcons and he hoped to make himself into a Gamekeeper now in Blacktail Deer Plateau. Also, he rather wanted to impress Hawkeye and show her that he was more than capable of providing for her and a family.

It didn't take him long to strike a deer trail, then track the resident herd. He did not make an attempt to hunt the deer, though he spent about half an hour observing and tracking them through the woods. Only when his gnawing hunger became hard to ignore did Peregrine turn away, searching for something a bit smaller to track, hunt and kill.

Less than an hour later, his swarthy figure emerged into a clearing in the trees, a lean rabbit dangling limply from his jaws. Peregrine pricked his ears, his blue-green eyes shifting around the open space, then dropped the hare at his forepaws and began to eat. He finished in minutes, though he held off on eating the head and the delicious, meaty brains held within.

He gingerly gathered this trophy into his mouth, then trotted around the woodland until he sniffed out a cache. He deposited the small morsel there, then lifted his leg against the nearest tree to mark the spot. Naturally, his pack mates were welcome to pick through the stocks, yet the pungent scent of urine would deter lesser carnivores from scavenging through the pack's stores.

Finished with his task, Peregrine paused. He only remained still for a moment before deciding to keep hunting, now in the hopes of catching a treat for his sweetheart. He pushed himself into a trot, which evolved into a lope before turning into a steady gallop. He weaved in and out of the trees, his blood pounding in his ears even as he raced to the edge of the plateau. He ground to a halt and looked out over the sprawling vista below, then dashed back into the woods in pursuit of meat.
