Swiftcurrent Creek contents under pressure

Arric didn't know much, but he knew enough to know that new life was coming into the creek. He sighed as he sought out a deer. Feeling the burn of fatigue in his muscles. They were small in number and not many hunters anymore. But they were holding their own and the young mouths they had to feed.  Mind you he didn't mind the extra work or the responsibility, but there was a huge gap between the young and the able to hunt and it was growing wider every day.

Though he quickly pushed the thoughts aside and with fish in his maw went in search of the female Bellatrix. He didn't know who fathered her children, and he hadn't asked. That wasn't his business, but keeping her healthy that was his business.

So he dropped the fish at her feet and chuffed. I know it's hard to eat, but fish is good for you and you should try.
