Helotes Lykoi

Word Count → +3 :: Out of Character text


Helotes had decided it was time he teach his children how to truly hunt. Being coyotes meant that most of their dietary needs were met by scavenging when not in a clan, but sometimes picking could be slim, and being able to bring down prey was important to their survival. The children had been excited at the prospect and had not even complained once at having to get up early. They had set out then, Helotes joining them in Lupus as they headed into the wilds beyond Inferni’s borders.

The first hours of the morning were spent on tracking various animals to various degrees of success. Sadly, on the last try, the animal that was expertly tracked by his children ended up to be a very frustrated skunk, and had sent all three Lykoi’s running for the hills. After that the lessons had deteriorated into play, though their stomachs were satiated by Azucena’s excellent fishing skills, thanks to her tutelage by Willam. Helotes watched as he children ate; Zuzu was nearly full grown now, though she was still lanky in adolescence; Helotes could tell she was going to be beautiful, just like her mother. Basilio on the other hand had not grown much in the last month and Helotes worried that he was slowing down in his growth; he was not going to get much larger than he was now.

After the fishy lunch, Helotes decided to just let his family wander a bit; they were young and loved to explore. As they wandered, a scent came to him, followed by the soft sounds of coyote yips. All three Lykoi’s stopped to listen and sniff, their recent tracking still fresh on their minds. But Helotes felt it was best to let the others know that they were here, so he let out a couple yaps of his own, alerting them to their presence.
