MUTE - AMUTAQ & ZETERI - LEVI'S SOUL- NONE TO LOVE - DEKU OF TAVIORA

Winter was pretty much here, and the hunt for one of the night beasts too.

Zelda had called for the hunters and warriors of the pack to gather soon for a hunt and Tuari of course was going to go. It was her job, and now that she was healing from her separation from Levi she was doing better. That wasn’t all though, she had heard Dexter was going too! She was both excited at the prospect of hunting with him, showing off her abilities and also watching his own in action. They were hunting a predator, something that she was made for and he did as well, albeit a bit differently. She knew he took no pride in that, that he thought he was terrible for it, but she felt no shame in killing whatever beast they would encounter during the hunt. Perhaps she was wrong to feel such a way, but these creatures had already attacked a child of the forest and surely would hurt others or more if she and the rest of the party didn’t take it down. At that news though she wanted to find him, see if he had been practicing or at the very least see what he had been upto as of late.

Golden and black toed paws carried her easily through the forest. It was almost bare of leaves now where the deciduous trees were concerned, loud rustling off in the distance occurring here and there as she let her golden rimmed ears scout out for any signs of life around her. Rabbits, deer, other wolves, she could hear them if they were not careful about their own steps as she was trying to be. It was more out of habit than anything that she moved in such a way. She stopped then as his scent touched her nose. She took a deep breath, giving a good inhale of his scent feeling excited at the prospect he was near, but then a much more devious plan crossed her mind. She grinned devilishly, suddenly gathering up as many leaves as she could and making a rather loud racket all the while as to, hopefully, attract his attention this way. She thought she could see him through the trees yet, there was no promising that he would come this way.

It was his idea after all. He had done this before himself. She just hoped that it worked both ways. When they first met it had been this way after all. Quickly the mute huntress started pulling leaves over her, shuffling her head this way and that until only the pile was there. She laid nearly flat on her belly going silent and stilling her breathing as if she was hunting prey. For she was hunting now, just it just wasn’t out for the kill. She would surprise him, she hoped, just as he did her. Then the fun would begin!
