Everyone was ready, and as Moonfyre left the group to start the herd moving an electrifying feeling settled over the hunting party. It was moments like this that the Enagayahe Kanati lived for. The moments that he had spent the great majority of his life becoming perfect at. Hunting was an art form, just like any other, it just happened that this art was essential to life. Without food, none of them could live. Nayati had devoted his life to keeping his tribe alive and healthy, providing as much food as he could manage. He was now the sole skilled hunter in the pack and with winter approaching, they all needed this hunt to be successful. He trusted his fellow tribemembers though. Working together, they could do this.

Alarmed bugles and running hooves filled the air, signaling that Moonfyre had made his appearance. Within a moment or two, three straggling elk had been cut off from the rest of the herd and was being driven towards them. Nayati didn't even have to give Iye any signals for the stallion knew what to do as innately as the wolf did. They took off towards the trio of prey animals and he quickly knocked an arrow, his eyes waiting to choose his target. He saw Ember go after one, but he wanted to make sure they brought down at least two. He noticed one of the cows was having more labored breathing than the others. Nayati and Iye rode past the elk as he released his arrow, striking it deep in the neck.
