It had been three days since Hrafn had seen open sky. He had traveled in from the North, hugging the edge of a Mountain range through thick brush, the chill of fall nipping at his hands and feet. The hybrid traveled by day, bow and arrow in hand in case he came across prey or something less savory, having been raised to be wary and vigilante for bandits. Finally he could feel the sun on his face.
It was early afternoon, a fog that had clouded the forest and beyond had dissipated and Hrafn paused out in the open to get his bearings, switching his bow to his other hand so he could stretch the cramps out of the previous, bright blue eyes taking in the vast plains from handsome merle features. The muddled brown and charcoal saddled hybrid had been travelling for some past six months now, yet to have stumbled across another colony like the one he had been a part of with his uncle. It was disconcerting to the tall and trim young male, not seeing a living soul for so long, it made him wonder if there were many others like him out there in this world besides the few he had known in his youth, but not even a day ago he had came across a strong, affirming scent that spurred his progress to the South when he would have gone North.
Here he knew he could try and make a home for himself. Practice his craft and perhaps learn more as that was all he knew. Running his free hand through dark, wavy shoulder length hair he continued forth, following the progress of a nearby river that led further South. He could tell he was nearing a settlement, he could smell it in the light and cool autumn winds, along the paths that crisscrossed the plain and he remained increasingly vigilante, notching the arrow for he could sense a presence nearby.
And suddenly it appeared, a rabbit shedding its summer browns into a motley of grey's and whites, standing alert quite some distance away but not yet aware of the Luperci as he crouched to one knee and seamlessly drew his bow, all breath leaving him as he looked down its point to the barely discernible leporidae in the distance.
