Fireweed Rise the great feast

She was a true leader and did an exemplary job of playing to everyone's strengths and weaknesses. He noted the looks of acceptance for each role doled out and was proud of his little family. This would be the true test of them working together as a team and meshing fully as a pack. Anything could go wrong in a hunt like this and it was important that they all follow the plan to keep all of them safe.

His golden eyes dance with excitement at the prospect of hunting this massive game as he too nodded in acceptance of his task for the final kill. He had little by way of speed to offer in such a hunt, but much in strength. Although he knew how to stay alive and unharmed in such a hunt, Elettra's reminder was not a bad thing. It was good for the young hunters to be made more aware of potential danger and it had been a very long time since he, himself had hunted with a pack, especially such large and potentially lethal game.

All moved off and took up their positions and the wait was on. It was up to the faster hunters to decide the timing at this point and it had to be right. They had to wait long enough to get everyone in position and be absolutely sure that they could get the cow to run into the trap that had been set for her. He held his position, ears alert and eyes focused on the now distant prey, grazing unsuspectinly. After what seemed an eternity he herd the moose bellow in surprise and the thundering hooves marked the beginning of the hunt...

Arla and Emma are the ish and made my pretties!
Koda will most likely always be accompanied by Chiron unless otherwise stated, or requested.

sorry to skip reed but bridget is on absence anyhow and i really want to get this moving along...

She could hear the pounding of the hooves as they hit the solid earth, growing nearer and nearer into the heart of the Fireweed Rise as the sun came up to greet the day. The fields were aglow, burning in yellows and reds like the sun and fire. She could hear the pants of breath from her two chasers, one small and a bit more compact then the slim and thin Kyrie and the other tall and lithe in an Amazonian manner. They grew nearer, and nearer, causing Elettra to tense, her tongue lolling from her mouth in a pant of anticipation.
In the very seconds that they were near enough, the moose pulling through the trap, Elettra lunged. The moose would be left to realize her mistake, though likely to late. She reared, kicking up her front limbs as she tried to back out of the trap, back legs sliding over the dew covered grasses yet to be dried by morning's light. She flails and Elettra jumps, teeth seeking a hold at the loose flesh behind the beasts armpit. Though uplifted, she cannot keep her hold, yanking down on the moose before she too falls to the earth and back on all fours. The creature meets the ground once more, kicking out her back limps surely to give herself just enough space to flee from the crowding wolves. Elettra's jaws snap, keeping the creature within the middle of her gathering followers, baying at the opportune moment to strike again.

<blockquote><span style='font-family:Lucida Sans'><font style='margin-left:20px;'>All</font> she could taste was thrown up dust and grass flying into her face, and all she could hear was the snarling of her packmates and the confusing sound of the elk's feet right next to her face. Her heart felt like it was about to bust in her small, fluffy chest. She was forced to slow down as the elk did, although she was relieved a few moments to catch her breath. Rose kept moving, taking this time to inflict damage on the prey's soft underside. She did so, being with the advantage of a small body able to crawl under the moose and back out without getting killed. In a few seconds, something went horribly wrong. As she backed to her spot on the prey's flank, she suddenly felt a sickening crack. She didn't notice it right away, but a sharp and harsh pain flourished inside her back left leg. The cream-furred wolf howled sharply in pain and she backed up, limping and dragging her twisted and bleeding leg behind her. Blood splattered the leaves.
<font style='margin-left:20px;'>Shock</font> ran through the little wolf, causing her to push the thoughts pain away from her head. She hid in the flowers, making sure to quickly luck the wound and make sure there was no infection festering in the cracked skin and bones. Her leg bone protruded out of her skin. The pain was a lot to bear. The little wolf whimpered once or twice but made sure to keep her loud complaining to a minimum. Her packmates were trying to hunt. She didn't want them to stop and her yellow orbs made no move to stop the other wolves from hunting. Rose breathed heavily and slowly, drawing her tongue roughly around her blood. She tasted the metallic, velvet red liquid and she watched it absorb into the cold ground. T'was a stupid move, but the moose seemed to be bleeding out of the painful flesh rip in it's stomach.</span></blockquote>

WILLOW RIDGE FOREVAH!

Drumming hoof-beats grew nearer and nearer, the pulsing rhythm carrying up through Skana's paws. She crouched lower, coiled and tense like a cat about to leap. As Elettra made her dash, Skana trailed a bit behind in making it to the side of the frightened moose. Skana winced as she landed, her bounds perhaps too overeager for what her weary joints could take. Immediately the beast started throwing around its massive hooves, finding itself locked in place by the wolves. The moose had bucked back and Skana waited for the thrashing of fore-limbs to stop. It couldn't stay reared up like that for long, especially not with Elettra latched on.

Once the cow had landed Skana lunged, her worn fangs snapping threateningly to the accompaniment of a snarl to keep the moose on guard and distracted from the rest of the hunters. Little Rosealia was tearing at the underside of the moose, and Skana danced alongside the prey, moving as if she were to attack before bluffing back out of reach. Blood began to trickle from the wound Rosealia inflicted, and then the small wolf was gone.

A loud snap was heard, but Skana did not let her concentration falter from the quarry. At first she thought someone had managed to break one of the moose's bones in a lucky strike. When the moose did not falter, and much more damning, the smell of wolf's blood and Rosealia's cry reached her, she knew it was one of their own who was wounded. Whatever had happened, had happened, and Skana would continue on with the hunt unless Elettra herself said to stop. She didn't want to let the prey gallop off when she felt the end was in sight. The moose couldn't last long, especially not with that gash torn in her stomach.

Blood raced through the silvery wolfs body. The only sound she could hear was the thudding of her heart and the pained snorts and grunts of the injured moose. Narimé did not see Rosealias leg break because she was nearer to the front and at the opposite side of the cow moose. The young female was too concentrated on her prey to be looking around at her other packmates. She knew her job and she was going to do it. However at the same time if she had the chance to strike at the animal Narimé would take it. So far that chance had not exposed itself to the young wolf. Not until now. As the pack surrounded the moose it began to fight more than run. Elettra had dodged the mooses sharp cloven hooves as it reared lashing out at the wolves. Skana was working the moose trying to keep its attention. Narimé spotted her chance to strike when the moose landed after rearing as it was glaring down at Skana about to rear a second time. The young huntress lept up and latched onto the cows armpit like Elettra had done. Her bite force tore through the moose's skin and blood spilled freely around the young womans jaws and dyed the silver girls coat a dark crimson. Being so close to the moose now Narimé could really see how much bigger and stronger it was compared to a normal deer. It took all she had just to hang on while its skin continued to tear around her grip. Her two front legs hung uselessly as she held on for dear life, but her back legs reached the ground every once in a while as the moose thrashed. That was the only reason she was able to stay on for so long was because when her legs could reach the ground Narimé was able to push off the ground and stregthen her bite grip on the animal. Panic began to edge its way into Narimé's heart. She hoped someone would be able to kill the big deer thing soon cause if they didn't then she would lose her grip, fall, and have to dodge sharp hooves while getting away from the moose.

The beast ran straight into the trap, for Elettra's plan could not be faulted. The look of panic in the huge cow's eyes gave him satisfaction as she realized her mistake. Things were looking good for the Willow Ridge pack's first hunt, at least so far.

That's when things sped up and started happening with lightning speed. Elettra lunged at the creature's side and wounded her before darting away. Skana and Rose attacked the moose's other side and the smell of blood in the air raised his blood lust to a fever pitch. The two faes disappeared after their attack, but in the back of his mind he heard a fearful yelp of pain. Likely the younger fae Rose. A flicker of concern crossed his brow, but he needed to stay focused or more of them might get hurt in this endeavor.

Seemingly out of nowhere Narime's silvery form flew forward with determination. She grasped the cow in much the same manner that Elettra had, but managed to keep her precarious grip by pushing off of the ground with her powerful hind legs. The huge brown beast was distracted by her and bleating in a crazy combination of fear and anger. This could turn ugly fast and he knew that it was time for him to make his move.

While her head tipped to the side and her body curved towards Narime' in reaction to the attack, Koda made his move. With a mighty lunge, he attacked from the front and the side opposite of the silver fae. The curve of the cow's neck was exposed to his deadly jaws and it was time to end the danger to the pack. He purposefully aimed high to allow time for readustment as his grip on her muscular neck slipped. Gravity pulled him back down towards the earth and he thought that he'd missed his mark until the solid muscle gave way to the soft jugular. As his deadly fangs slid into position, he tightened his grip mercilessly. The skin and vulnerable, vital jugular beneath it gave way as his large form slid to the earth, covered in her lifeforce.

Koda stumbled in the red gore as he turned to flee the dying beast. Even with her death only moments away and her blood draining into the ground from many wounds, she bellowed her defiance to the wolves that had her surrounded. As her mighty legs thrashed and finally gave way, Koda struggled to his feet. He had to get free of he lethal hooves. With one last kick at him, her enormous head fell to the ground, knocking Koda off of his feet once more. As the ground came up to meet him, his creamy head struck hard and the battlefield went dark...

Arla and Emma are the ish and made my pretties!
Koda will most likely always be accompanied by Chiron unless otherwise stated, or requested.

Going to try to put an end to this.

So quickly and by so much did the battle unfold, the harsh cry of Rose calling out over the hunting party though to no avail, as Elettra could not pin point exactly where she had gone and was far too focused on her own safety to figure this out. For the moment, her attention was placed on the cow moose, baying at the mouth as she awaiting the perfect moment to strike. Skana was proving a well distraction to the beast by false attacks and feints before snapping at the flesh. Narime had a well hold and by the moment Koda went to lunge, did Elettra follow suit, leaping up at the side of the beast until her jaws met with the base of the moose's neck where her left shoulder connected. Her front forelimbs wrapped around her shoulders and neck, back legs scratching for a grip in her hold along the beasts side. She was no wild cat and could not hold onto the side of the beast in the same well fashion, as dull canine nails desperately attempted for a hold but could not find one. So, allowing gravity to take its hold, Elettra tightened her grip to which as she slid down, she took as much flesh with her as she possibly could.
She fell hard to the ground on her side though quick to roll over and leap out of harm's way, though by now the beat was bleeding horribly and the length of it's attention was upon Koda, offering feeble strikes before falling to it's death. As the beast fell and Koda smacked the ground hard from the beast's thrashing skull, Elettra moved swift to clamp her jaws around the moose's throat, holding it there until it finally stopped it's kicking about as it died away.
Stepping back, blood tainting the gray of her muzzle, she takes this moment to asess the situation. Koda's knock to the head caused Elettra to move to him, stirring him with a prodding of her paw at his shoulder, offering him a shove or two. But he was not her main concern, given the damage it looked like one of her huntress' had taken. She would be off her limb for weeks, if not more, depending on how bad the break had been. Lucky enough for the Willow Ridge members, they now held enough food to supply them for that long. Rose had risked herself by getting in the line of fire, exactly what Elettra had told her not to do. It did well to help them gain the kill, but not without much consequence. Elettra would have rather her members safe then the success of the hunt, despite what her hard exterior might have otherwise said. None the less, they were successful and they all would survive.

Gonna Archive it now. :)

Narimé was knocked all over the place as she watched somewhat helplessly still clinging to the moose. Her packmates surrounded the moose quickly and worked fluently together in taking out the cow. Feeling the moose falling to one side the youth finally released her grip, jaws aching, and tripped backwards while trying to dash away from the huge beast falling towards her. Her two back legs got caught under the moose while she was escaping however Nari was lucky. She pulled her legs out from under the moose feeling giddy that she was uninjured. Then she watched the alpha's finish off the huge animal. Looking around Narimé noted all of her pack mates pelts except for one. Rosealia was missing.where'd she go? Nari looked back the way they had come and spotted her pack mate farther away struggling to get up. Her tail was all the other wolves saw as the girl raced panting heavily towards Rose and checked her injury. Yes the wolves had their meal, but it cost them a precious hunter. Nari wondered how Rose had gotten likethis. ast she saw of her pack mate she was racing along at the other side of the moose with Narimé opposite her. The silvery wolfs worried expression stayed glued onto her face as she looked back to the kill and then back to Rose. There was a lot of work to do. The wolves would have to take their injured back to the den and carry enormous heaps of food back to the caches. At least they had one of the best healers around. Elettra would keep the pack happy and healthy as was her duty as leader.<b style="color:#FFFFFF">"speech"
