Word Count » 377 :: OOC: About mid day or sooner if you wish? It's quite close to the borders of Cercatori Smile

It had been several days that Eclipse had stayed in the forest that shared her name. It was a beautiful place, and she had met a few wolves loners and pack members alike. She would head home that evening after she got herself a deer. She wanted to present much of the meat and bones as a present to Cercatori. Why she didn’t do it for all the other packs or none at all was beyond her, but this was a test and the Ethereal Eclipse was mostly owned by Cercatori, so if she got a deer, she would present much of it to the leader of Cercatori. She would save some for herself for the journey back.

So she set out of her camp, taking her bow and shouldering her quivers and headed out to find the perfect spot to start her hunt. She looked out for dung, broken branches and footprints. Her eyes scanning the lay of the forest. It wasn’t as hard to see as it would have been in the summer, which made Eclipse far happier. She loved the snow, and the ease it gave her to see in lands that would be far harder to see in the other seasons. Her nose twitched as she moved, taking in a quick scent. That was a deer, taking a deep breath she pulled out an arrow and knocked it. Looking down she spotted a hoof print That was a good sign! She was even down wind, though hoped she didn’t get too close to the borders of Cercatori for she knew she was close as she got a draft of it from the wind. She was moving towards the borders so she had to make sure not to cross them or kill beyond them.

The sight of the deer made Eclipse smile as she pulled the string to the back of her cheek, she aimed, breathed a few long deep breaths and then released. The arrow hit, but the deer ran. She didn’t hit it in a particularly vital part and the arrow stuck out on the part where it’s neck and shoulder met. Cursing herself Eclipse grabbed another arrow and aimed again, running in hopes to cut the deer off.
