This was an interesting place for a hunt but he had followed the scent of something yummy into its tunnels. Head down he stayed in the shadows as he tracked the prey down the twists and turns. The autumn breeze had been behind him when he entered so the scent he was following wasn’t something from prey behind him unless it had managed to slip pass him. Though he wished his stomach would stop growling so loud. Stopping he stood still for a moment as he scanned around him thinking he heard something but then he kept on moving as he got closer to the prey.

Her travels and recent encounters had left Avreya weary and in need of time to herself. Part of this meant filling the pit in her stomach, which she had hardly addressed since before her journey neared its end. If this place was as teeming with life as the Passage had indicated, then she needed to maintain her strength, clarity, and reflexes. Good thing she would be able to address all of these, if only at the expense of another unfortunate creature.

A glimpse of prints in the sand had led the woman into what might have been, on any other day, a much more intimidating maze of towering cliffs and winding channels. However, Avreya was fortunate in that her very target would continue to be her guide. But it seemed she was not the only one feeling lucky, for as her prey's scent grew stronger, so did that of another--that of a stranger, one of her kind. Judging by the shape and size of the cloven prints, she felt no need to hoard the whole meal for herself if she managed to get her paws on it, but after the beheamoth she had encountered--the Savante--she knew better than to assume the same intentions of her company.

When she eventually spotted the stranger, she made no attempt to hide herself as he scanned his surroundings. Avreya was not above the assistance of extra claws and teeth but needed to ensure @Milano felt the same. With a chuff in his direction, she waited for him to acknowledge her before she continued following the tracks, staying low and taking advantage of the darkness against her already dark frame.

The addax’s scent was tantalizing and making him drool ever slightly. Catching himself he wiped the side of his mouth to clean himself up as he moved closer. It was then that he noticed he wasn’t alone anymore and a lioness had joined his hunt. At her chuff he looked right at her and nodded his head in agreement and acknowledgment to her. His eyes went back to the addax that had moved offa but in the time of their exchange.

Nose twitching be followed it’s scent a bit farther. With it coming into view he could see that there was enough to go around for the both of them. Pausing he got ready and waited for the female to get into place as well before giving a sign with a flick of his tail. Surging forward he began the chase.

Avreya wasted no time following @Milano's glance in her direction. As he tracked their target by scent, she turned her attention back to the ground, where dainty cloven prints continued even farther now. Their owner had taken advantage of their lapse in attention, but this was only a minor inconvenience. The two of them were clearly hungry--and on a mission.

She kept his figure in the corner of her gaze, looking out for any hints that the addax was near. When he halted with sudden tension, Avreya did the same, hurrying to conceal her presence and lay mismatched eyes on their target. At the male's signal, they charged forth in tandem.

The slow burn of her muscles as she ran almost felt good, like a release, but even more appealing was the idea of filling her stomach. As she drew near, Avreya lashed out with a clawed paw at the addax's hind leg, hoping to throw it off balance and give her partner the chance to close in himself.

Being inside of a maze of tunnels didn’t make the hunt anymore easy if anything it made it more difficult. Random stones and rocks to trip on, dark corners that could just be a dead end in shadows. Still he was definitely not going to give up. Hopefully the Addex didn’t get taken down on the Hollows land but he was sure they would be fine. It wasn’t like they were that close to the pride’s borders.

Chasing the prey he swiped at it from the front as @Avreya swiped at the hind legs. "Careful for flying hooves." He grunted a warning. It was just the two of them so he was extra cautious.

@Milano's words of caution struck Avreya too late, and she growled under her breath as a sharp hoof kicked out at her and struck her shoulder. Fortunately, however, there was enough distance and movement between them that the addax could not strike her with full force, so while her flesh stung and shoulder ached, her stride hardly faltered. And good thing, too. The poor creature was lurking in this maze for a reason: it was fast, nimble, and light on its feet. The two lions apparently had their work cut out for them.

Frustration fueled her this time as she swiped at the addax again, claws unsheathed and aiming for its ankle.

Spotting @Avreya take a hoof to the shoulder he flinched. That didn’t look fun and he knew from experience that it didn’t feel fun either. Unless she was some weirdo or something that was into pain like it expected many of the adrenaline junkie fighters in this land to be. Shifting his stride he focused on the Addex’s front area. Trying to stay out of the ladies way. Leaping for the things neck attempting to attach himself and hang on as it ran. Claws flexed as he growled attempting to wrap his front legs around it like he was giving it a hug.

As @Milano raced to the front of the addax in response to her fumble, Avreya tried to come up with a new plan of action. Of course, it was quite difficult to think over her burning lungs and while dodging sharp corners and jagged rocks. Perhaps the pair had gotten in over their heads? Regardless, they were in too deep now. Someone had to give, and she was determined not to be the one to have to do so.

She followed the male's move but from her own position. Rather than swipe at the beast in hopes of tripping it, Avreya leapt upward at its rear with the goal of latching on with tooth and claw.

Getting closer to the prey he felt his heart racing in his chest. The sound of blood pumping through his ears as he strikes out at the Addax. It fumbled and he saw @Avreya take a leap for its rump. Good. He tried to keep it at bay so hopefully the lioness could finish it off. Though he really didn’t want it to bleed to death. A slow and painful death wasn’t something he wanted for himself nor for prey. So he would swing around and attempt to grab it by its head and try to catch its mouth and nose. Hopefully he wasn’t shook off.

Just when she thought the chase might never relent, she could feel her pace slowing to match that of the addax, a sign that perhaps she and her hunting partner still had a chance at victory. Then, as if on cue, @Milano lined himself up with the beast such that he was able to aim his jaws at its snout and bring it tumbling down into a cloud of dirt and dust. Skidding to a halt, Avreya whirled around and back toward the pair, attempting to reach them before the flailing antelope could do too much more damage with its hooves.

He had already cut off its airway, and if they were out of breath, certainly so was their target. Still, there was no telling how long it would take for the male to finish the job with his method alone. So, without hesitation, Avreya wrapped her jaws around the back of its neck, where an audible snap marked the end of its struggle--and theirs. Once certain that the addax was fully subdued, she released it, stepping back and lapping blood from her maw with a panting tongue as she relished in a seat upon her haunches.

"For a first damned meal in these lands, it'd better be worth it," she said with a dry chuckle, glancing briefly at her smarting shoulder before nodding toward the corpse. "Go on. You found it first." Formalities could be exchanged over lunch...after they had caught their breath.
