Moonspear Arpeggio

Sorry for my delay!

The duo began to follow the trail of prints and scat through the conifers towards more rocky terrain. Njord took note of the chewed low bramble and sedge that the beasties dined upon. Eventually, he could hear a soft bleat and the crunching of snow… the seafarer looked to Argent and stopped.

Njord’s nose sampled the air. They were in an advantageous position downwind. Then, he caught sight of them… They were curious animals. Heatier than a deer with large, curved horns instead of antlers. Even from a distance, Njord could gauge the sheep’s deft proprioception as they easily maneuvered the mountain’s turf. Surely, if they succeed it wouldn’t be an easy kill.

The seafarer passed a knowing glance to his hunting companion and broke away. They would approach their quarry in a two-pronged attack – let the weak or infirm find themselves ousted.

Njord settled nearby in young cover. Time passed… the sheep meandered closely. Now!

Njord exploded from his hiding place with a bang. The sheep startled at the ambush. His eyes scanned them as he loped… looking for the one who would become their target.
