The woods were the golden fae’s element. Here she moved like a whisper through the underbrush, faintly aware that the dainty paws of her new friend carried Terra in her own footsteps and occasionally scouting ahead. The forest was alive with sounds and scents, but Palaydrian was after one, the heavy musk of a deer herd that had passed through the area from yesterday. Lilac ears were alert and cupped forward to detect any sudden snapping of twigs or low grunts from her quarry, but it was Drin’s nose that would ultimately find the two success.
They traveled deeper into the neutral territory, the scent growing stronger with each paw propulsion off the ground. Drin was beginning to imagine the rustlings of herbivore activity when her eyes narrowed in on freshly broken twigs and a small pile of fresh dung. They were getting painfully closer now as this trail was about 15 minutes old. It seemed their herd of prey was headed towards the water source hugging the southern end of The Dampwoods. It would take the docile creatures another few hours to reach the shores of the lake, so Drin recalculated and suddenly left the obvious trail and began making her way through the woods in a large arc.
The femme surprisingly glided soundlessly across the forest floor for a wolf of her size. Trot turned into a lope which would cut down the time past between the two hunters and the deer. Now the imagined sounds became reality to Drin’s right as she increased her speed and continued to give the herd a large birth. Bi-colored ocean eyes picked out what looked like a cluster of 5 deer, 1 buck, 3 doe, and 1 spotted button buck through the thick fora. The latter would be the target.
Palay slowed her pace once she was about 20 yards in front of the herd and downwind. She crouched in the dirt and moss, ready to spring at a diagonal once the herd passed by her hiding spot. Let’s take the younger one...he’ll be too shocked to know what to do, she whispered. Now the two would have to play the waiting game.
