For added measure, the beast decides to take a pawful of mud from a nearby puddle and smear it across both front legs and what he could reach of his sides. Not only would it help further conceal his scent but it may deter another from recognizing him if he were somehow found out. His eyes continue to watch the group and his surroundings, noting how the tall grasses would be something that would help them all when it came to their hunt. And soon enough it would begin, the Viking watching as they took down their prey and giving a snort as he wondered how they all were going to get a piece of the Kudu. It wasn't his problem, though, so he would turn on his heels and stalk quietly away.

A cry echoed through the territory, making the boy pause rather suddenly. It was the panicked bleat of an antelope, and shortly following it was the scent of blood. Quickly, Zephyr crawled into the grass to hide. He hid there until the distant crunching and ripping faded away. Only then was he brave enough to step out again.

Believing he was now alone, he put his nose low again and moved on. Every once in a while, he’d stray away from the tracks and step in water, which helped him “see” the trail in his mind. It came close to a water source, and was probably where prey came to drink. The numerous tracks certainly suggested as much.

As he wandered, he relocated the tracks he’d been following earlier, as well as the unfamiliar scent. Slowly, it took him to where the kill had taken place. It was quiet by then, and so he dared to sneak in close, to sniff the kudu carcass — or what little remained. He picked at its bones, but there was next to nothing left. The predators had striped it of nearly everything.

His stomach growling, Zephyr backed away and slipped into the grass again, before any other hungry scavengers could find him.

CODING • BACKGROUND

The hunt was over nearly as fast as it had started. Lions filtered in looking for the chance to get a piece of the grub before winter set in. Hungry carnivores from every nook and cranny of the land but as soon as the hunt died out, it was very clear that only a select few were going home with a decent sized piece of meat. Daneri was quick to volunteer herself to pass, beginning a slow and gradual disappearing trick. Backing away from the hunt as she began to turn and pace herself away. Eventually letting her body go from a walk, to a jog, to a flat-out sprint as she made her way back towards "home". exit daneri

And so mote it be. Her blessing and prayer ring true as they arise victorious and unscathed, not a single inch of harm come their way. It was destined to be honestly, given the fact that they only brought down a single kudu... It was basically a sandwich to split between many, many lions. She does not care to indulge on the dinner today, instead keen on settling in to finish her short little prayer as she mumbles her thanks in regards to the life taken so that they could fill their bellies. It's the least she can do for Maua granting her these capabilities.. and hopefully to Anaire as well. As she finishes up her prayer, content with how her blessing has settled, the shamanic lioness makes her way home.

Soon enough they would find what they were looking for, a singular animal of horn and hoof. It was a large creature, but given the number of lions here, she imagined the whole of it might be consumed in a single sitting. She would be satisfied with but a small portion of it, should there be anything left by the time she got to it. It was better to stay out of the way of feasting lions, a time in which the most aggression was likely to surface.

Doubting herself for a moment, she would go back to rub up against additional plantlife, until she was certain the scent of snow leopard was gone. Following that, a successful takedown, a long wait, and finally a bit of food to take with her elsewhere.

He rid the area of negative energies, envisioning a cleansing wave of clear fresh water washing over them all. Imaging any lingering darkness to be swept far far away. May Maua protect. May Maua provide. He whispered.

A kudu! An excellent catch but he wondered just how far it would go between so many mouths. There was plenty of meat on such a creature but there were also so many lions here. Asbjørn decided then that he would leave the kill for the others. He wasn't necessarily in need of food. More than anything, he was just happy to be of service.

HEKATE

By ancient wisdom and nature's grace, may your aim be true and your quarry embrace its fate.

The words of blessing reverberated through her to the grasslands at her paws, each bounding step bringing her closer to the prize they so desired. They managed to corner one of the kudu, tearing it down with dozens of sets of claws and teeth, though Hekate was too far out on the perimeter to get one of the first shares. She regarded her sister with panting breaths as they both licked the blood from their countenances, quirking an amused brow as Ianthe was so kind as to offer her share.

"I think both our portions are bone," Hekate countered wryly. She would only elbow to get around the others so that she may grab one single rib from the kill, sure that the sisters would find some use for it – if only a simple chewing toy.

Lucien watches while many others arrive to join the growin' huntin' party. He knew that the more abled bodies and hungry mouths there were would be for the better, but when the single Kudu trotted its way into view he'd let out a defeated sigh. Only that for all these mouths? The cowboy wouldn't think on it for too long, though, and instead would begin the hunt. He'd lunge toward the Kudu, throwin' himself at a hindquarter and bitin' down while sinkin' his claws into it. It'd soon be brought down, and once it was dead would Lucien release his hold. There wasn't much for him to do other than take the smallest of bites, wantin' to make sure he at least got somethin' for a hunt he'd called, takin' his leave while chewin'.

The group of them ripped through the grasslands after a grouping of kudu, though ultimately only one was brought down to feed the lot of them. Jethro snarled with frustration as he fell just short of tackling one, eyes narrowed and seething as their dozens of mouths went in to feast on what had been killed. Without being one of the select few nearest, there was no way he could get a share in time without bludgeoning any of them, and that sounded like a great deal of work. He watched for a few more hateful moments before turning to run drills in the opposite direction so he might not have to dwell on the defeat for long.

Fleetingly distracted as she were, Aphid instead opted to harvest from the sprout of Wormwood she had seen moments earlier; plucking hastily at a large bunch of it's frilly green leaves. Her vision drifted out across the watering hole, noting the unique flora that sprouted from it's depths; hyacinth and water lillies.

This time the hunt is of a single smaller game. Though Kudu are not small beasts, when it came to feeding so many mouths the animal was hardly a feast. So she would take only a small portion, and leave the majority of the carcass to the young and old.
