Arrow Lake The beat of the drums

I am so sorry I missed the last round!!!! Here is me trying to catch up….

He tried very hard to understand and follow the instructions that were being handed out. Biting the rumble of annoyance at his chest before any could here. He was upset with himself, yet again. The idea of learning a foreign language had seemed for trivial growing up, and now he wished her could go back. Not for the first time that man seemed unworthy, and idiotic for thinking he could follow in the footsteps of his elder siblings.

What he was able to catch was his name and Mahler’s name spoken in the same context Looking to his side he caught the lilac gaze, if Sadiq was going to be of any use, he would stick close to the man his sister seemed to admire. Turning back to the woman, Kazimir? He though. The large northern man nodded his assent.

Soon enough the other hunters headed off, Sadiq assumed they would bait the creature. Having missed a good chunk of the explanation. Standing a few feet from Mahler, to give the others a larger target with which to aim. Sadiq ready his muscles, and the impending meal salivated his tongue. It had been months since his last pack hunt, and he had forgotten the exhilaration that came from such an exercise.

Dread quickly followed as the woman was first struck and then minutes later thrown past both himself and Mahler. A gasp sprang from his lips, as he watched her land and roll. Cringing as she stood, even Sadiq could tell she was in pain, and he didn’t know her that well. Nodding slowly at the que from Mahler, Sadiq wouldn’t say a word as he came along Kaz’s other side. Insulated on either side, surely the woman could escape more damage.

Despite his newness, Sadiq felt a need to protect those of Diaspora, if only for the title of packmate that each of them carried. A stickler for titles and tradition, Sadiq wished that Kazimir would sit out, alas he had no way of conveying such a wish. Instead he ran a little faster, to reach the monstrous beast before she did.
