Moonspear Hunters Moon

Next round! Power playing Njord with Lieu's permission. No posting order.

She sensed Alaric's impatience to begin the hunt. They mustn't spook the prey too early. What's more, she had to do her job and get the doe running. She gave Alaric a level look, as if compelling him to try and settle his excitement.

Additional help arrived in the form of young Stingray, who paraded in confidently. He was a cute looking teen, smelling of sea air. "Glad you could join us. I would like you to help me drive the prey towards Njord and Alaric." She nodded to the two grown males, whose bulk would be best suited in the take down of the deer. "Be prepared to get ahead of them now, so she has nowhere to go when she's cut off."

With everyone on the same page, Elentari led the way. Loping down the gentle incline where the ground was more evened out. Her flagging dark tail was like a beacon for Stingray to follow, as she dived through the woodland. 

The herd saw her coming. The two mature bucks at the front stamped their hooves in defiance, trying to warn off the incoming, midnight threat. She was not deterred. She had seen this all before. They were not the one's the wolves were after. Clicking her jaws, she veered out of their way, doubling back to exploit the weakness of the doe. That extra second she took to react, one too slow, was all the Archer needed.
