Sapphire eyes stared at the bloody carcass with hunger and greed. Although Kiara listened to X'yrin's words, she barely registered their meaning. The young wolf was hungry, and the smell of a fresh kill was so enticing that it practically blocked out all others. Still, the nomad's words reached Kiara's ears and she was forced to listen her sense of reason. Reluctantly, she tore her gaze away from the carcass and acknowledged X'yrin's words with a small grunt. The snow wolf rose to her feet and took the time to examine their surrounding.
Blood and adrenaline pumped with a ferocious vigor. Her bodies excited state kept her senses sharp as the sensory information was processed. Already the carrions were gathering around the dead elk, hoping to get a bite to eat. The herd was not far off but their net progress led them away from the two hunters. Both X'yrin and Kiara would have to work fast if they wanted to succeed a second time. The odds were not in their favor. The arctic wolf was tired and she knew from experience that most hunts did not end in success. As the golden wolf carefully marked their kill, Kiara went to work discouraging any birds who believed they could steal a meal. The arctic wolf rushed at the nearest bird and made quick works of its small black body. All the other birds flew off with loud protests. Taking advantage of the fresh meat, Kiara quickly ripped off the feathers with her teeth and enjoyed a small meal.
The unfortunate crow had provided Kiara with a newfound energy. The arctic wolf used the browning grass to wipe her muzzle clean of gore, before taking off in the direction of the herd. Just as before, Kiara followed X'yrin into the bush and waited for the signal to begin. If all went well, she would have food to take back to Shiloh and Sarian. Excitement rushed through Kiara as she surged forward. Truly this was what it meant to be a wolf.
