Toiro lifted his muzzle to the wind, letting the gentle summer breeze ruffle through his thick grey coat. He was in the mood for a hunt today – it had been a long time since he’d last successfully caught a deer, and the thought of the many full herds roaming the forest was too tempting to ignore. Summer was the peak season for hunting in Shyia, as much of the prey from Caurus and Tiayr chose to move to the slightly cooler climate, complementing their own well-fed herds. To make it even better, the recent birthing season had produced a large amount of young who weren’t yet as quick on their feet as some of their elders.
The grey wolf was currently searching through the northern area of the Xayar forest, aware that there were several small meadows which usually attracted his favourite kind of prey. His paw steps were light as he moved though the shadows – once a wolf had learned how to hunt, the skill would stay with him for life, even if the wolf in question was a little out of practice.
The alpha had originally thought about seeking out some wolves to hunt with him, but had found no one in the dens and hadn’t particularly felt like searching the whole territory for someone. Perhaps he would come across someone as he walked along though; he certainly wouldn’t object to a companion, as even young deer could throw a powerful kick. Plus, he wasn’t as well acquainted with some of his wolves as he’d like to be, and a group hunt would provide a good opportunity for him to work alongside his pack-mates. Maybe he could howl? But no, he was fairly close to the deer now, judging by the faint but recent scent of the trail he was following, and he definitely didn’t want to spook them after all this work he’d done tracking them so far. So Toiro continued on in silence, senses alert for any sign of the deer up ahead.
