Halimede would always detest the cold, but sometimes it were necessary. At the very least, it helped build her strength; the rocks here were smooth and cold and perfect for sharpening her claws, and the jagged mountainsides were always a good way to exercise her tired, roguish limbs. Thus, Halimede hastily ascended the slopeside with abandon, enjoying the free exercise, ducking only when the first of the hunters began to cross her path. She quickly fled into the underbrush, eyes peering from between the snow-dusted branches as she peered out toward the group, curious to see what they would choose to chase.

The Reborn haunted Freyr's peaks more often than not, finding its reaching, high towers closer to the veil she thought separated the two worlds. Today she was coming back from one of her own attempts at summoning, but her power had been weak.

In her anger, she'd lashed out at the hard stone walls trailing the paths, leaving her clawmarks upon the hard surface. And acquiring sharper talons, if not anything else.

She liked to redirect her fury into something productive, and so she decided to push some bigger rocks up the hillside of Freyr. It was a good testament of her strength, even if this vessel was still so frail.

Afterwards, she sauntered down the paths and found the hunting party, joining them in their pursuit.

Few others seemed interested in her idea, and she were quickly drowned out by those who'd arrived. No matter, she thought, concocting what meager trap she could with what limited resources she'd had. And had it been anything but an elephant calf, whose leg quickly got trapped just as quickly as it managed to tear itself away in its franticness, they would have caught it. Yet, with disappointment she watched as the creature tumbled down the mountainside, narrowly escaping the gnashing jaws and hungry, curling bellies of the tired lions who gave up their pursuit.

She'd settled delightfully within the bushes, but regret quickly settled in. She'd made hiding a priority, when perhaps she should have joined the hunters in their quest. For even though the elephant calf were clearly out of its element in such a cold and distant place, there'd not been enough of them to bring it down, and the territory had been just as disadvantageous to them as it had been for the very thing they'd been chasing after. Perhaps, if Halimede were less lazy and more helpful, she could have changed the tides. Oh well. Instead, she was content to use her energy on herself; her claws gripped the ground below to sharpen them, and when everyone was gone, she would burst from the underbrush in a true test of strength and endurance.

Bitter was their loss, and Kvare had the wounds to prove it. The elephant's growing tusks had driven into his shoulder, narrowly escaping a deeper wound by gliding along his scapula. Kvare had been forced to retire early, quickly falling behind the group with a pronounced limp. His only prize had been the brief stint of running and clawing he'd done, just enough to offer him more lessons in strength and endurance. Any hopes he'd had of visiting the Summit were quickly quashed, even as some of his sister's members had come to join in the hunt; for now, he would need to tend to his wounds at home, and then venture back on a better day. Perhaps after the winter had ended, if she'd not come to him first.

The peak was an odd place to find an elephant calf, in her opinion. Large, lumbering beasts would stand little chance of catching themselves if a misstep was made and they went tumbling off the side of the mountain. The winding paths that led up held many treacherous stretches that led to steep plummets, if one was not careful. Yet, the land was difficult for lions, too. So many dangers could be posed by the landscape, that as she began to make her way back down the peak, she had to pay close attention to her surroundings to ensure she wasn’t one to make one of those fatal mistakes. As she walked, she moved swiftly, sticking to more fragrant plants that she could rub against to continue masking her scent. Many disappointed lions would be coming this way soon, she figured, and she didn’t want anyone picking up her trail. -exit-

Doomed from the start. Lune had felt the unsettled prickling of doubt unfurl in her stomach as the lions engaged with their hopeful prey. It was a losing battle with too many obstacles to mind. Dodging the sharp, ivory tusks, avoiding the jagged edges of the rocks along the peak, minding your own footfalls as well as making sure you didn't collide with another. No, too many factors existed that worked against the lions on this hunt. The heat of effort blazed bright on Lune's cheeks, rivaled only by the burn of disappointment she felt. She looked around at her hunting party. They put up a good fight. Though, the girl couldn't consider the day a total wash for she had herbs tucked away to get back to. Lune did not linger in the filth of loss, instead taking a few moments to catch her breath before turning back in the direction from which she had come.

Ugh, failure. However much Radahn had tried to veer the calf onto the ice, it were large and powerful enough to easily ignore his attempts. While it had managed to slip once or twice, it had easily recaptured its footing, and managed to find itself on solid ground long enough to slip away from it pursuants. Bitterness settled deep in his belly, discontent with the way things he'd been left; and rather than give up the hunt, determined to prepare their pride for the coming winter, Radahn continued to attempt to pursue it down the mountainside, even long after its scent had begun to fade.

Food were a necessity, but they could not win them all. Disappointment settled in his belly, regretting having come so far to fail so miserably. No matter how much he'd attempted to utilize his strength and endurance to chase after it, it simply were not enough. However, there would be plenty more chances to fix their mistakes, to find success in a different hunt at a different time. Thus, even as others still appeared to want to pursue their doomed hunt, Xavier decided to follow hastily after @Lune, hoping to make up for the disappointment that settled in his belly in the soft golden glow of her fur, the alluring lull of her voice. Perhaps, then, defeat wouldn't taste so bitter. Perhaps, too, he could warn her of the sinking feeling in his chest about the winter to come. While he'd failed now to secure his pride's protection, he knew enough to make sure he did not fail again, and knew the threat of the storm on the distant horizon.
