Hazia awoke at Dawn. The light was low and the wind was cold.
The trees shivered feeling cold as they slept.
She had her senses open to the world. She travelled along prey trails. The wind sang gently in her ears. Her wolf-coloured eyes grazed the dirt for the slightest sign of recent prey. Many were old tracks. She followed them. She couldn't find any trace of recent prey.
Then-
The sound of a walking creature caught her ears. Her hand went for her bow...she listened.
Yep there it was again alright. Hazia crept quietly behind a bush, moving as silently as a human could. The prey moved into view. It was large a bird. It knew Hazia was there and lifted off into the sky. An arrow soared into it's back and it fell with a scream of pain. As it fell Hazia leapt into the air and stabbed it with her spear. Then she made use of the dead. It took her four whole hours to do it.
Hazia continued. She entered a clearing. She saw it.
A baby male fawn (Stag as an adult Deer) barely five months old.
Sorounded by a pack of Foxes with no escape.
