I think we're pretty much done here! Everyone can make a last post if they want and we'll close this up Smile 300+

As Moonfyre's elk went down Nayati breathed a sigh of relief, the adrenaline of the hunt started to leave his body. His shoulders relaxed as he looked around the ground. Three elk down, better than the Kanati had dared to hope for. He had been confident that they could bring down two but he hadn't been certain if they would be lucky enough to get three. His fellow tribesmembers had all done great jobs and had worked together almost seamlessly. It was that that had brought them such great success.

Nayati slid off of Iye's back and walked over to the elk that he had felled with Ember's help. He knelt down next to where his arrow had struck it and said a quiet prayer of thanks. These three animals had given their lives to help sustain the tribe, they needed to thank them for their sacrifice. After he had given his gratitude to the fallen beasts he pulled his arrow from it's body and then walked over to the one Moonfyre stood next to to retrieve his other arrow. That one was a little more difficult to extract, but he managed it. Placing them both back in his quiver he turned to his companions. "You all did a good job today and I thank you for your hard work," he said, a smile turning up the corners of his lips.

"Now we shall take them back to the village where we can skin them and cut up the meat. Some will serve as our dinner tonight, but the rest will be cured for storage." The man undid the rope he had brought with him, unraveling the cord. "It may take a couple trips to bring them all back, but we will manage." The horses were tired, so they could put two to one elk. There was still plenty of work to be done but with them all working together it would not take long.
