Hunting Trip (Zayev/Hunt/Open)

[eti]

Zayev woke up that morning, a gnawing hunger hitting her stomach the moment she awoke. She got up from the spot she had beded down for the Night and stretched her legs. She decided she was going to hunt a local mountain goat of the mountain. Besides, Chaos had requested a frozen heart, and she always liked frozen meat better than a fresh kill anyways. She came out of the cave at a good pace, headed up the trail and started her hunt. speaking

While female mountain goats often enjoyed the protection and companionship of a large herd, billies were not allowed that privilege. From the moment they celebrated their first birthday, male mountain goats are forced out of the herd to live a solitary life, and this young male was no exception. Having just started venturing out on his own, he moves hesitantly and stops constantly to scent the air and listen for any warning sounds. His mother had taught him well, and, despite the lush green grass growing on a high up ledge, he prefers to scale the steep cliff where a single misstep could bring his life to a screeching halt. For any other creature, the bluff would have been a surefire death sentence. But, with his nimble hooves, he is able to traverse the rocky slope quickly, approaching a path up ahead.

Zayev padded around the trail, until she heard something. The familiar clicking of mountain goat hooves on the rock. She instinctively froze on her tracks. She could just barely see him around the rock separating them. She slowly crept forward, calculating every slow and careful step. As she closed the distance between them, she took a slight breath before rounding the rock and she lunged for him. speaking

uixwk5YX1-10 Thanks to Zayev's stealth, the mountain goat had not seen the wolf approaching until it was too late. Bleating frantically as razor sharp teeth sank into its flank, he bucked wildly to attempt to dislodge the predator. Unfortunately for both of them, his desperate movements lacked all of the elegance he had displayed up until that point, and the sheer cliff was of no help. Hitting a patch of loose pebbles, the goat went sliding down the mountain, dragging Zayev with him. In all other situations, the two of them would have surely perished, falling to their deaths and being dashed on the jagged rocks far below. However, as luck would have it, there was a sturdy ledge not too far down. The impact was enough to knock the air out of their lungs and break Zayev's grip, but it didn't truly hurt. Panicked, the goat scrambles to his feet and begins to scale the bluff once more, hoping to get the higher ground, limping as his white fur slowly transformed into a bright scarlet hue. MOUNTAIN GOAT ZAYEV Notes: eti  Since the goat and Zayev are both on an extremely steep cliff (think almost 90 degrees) I wouldn't recommend having Zayev just pounce on him anymore because it's likely both of them will die.

Zayev' s teeth made contact with the flank of the goat, but the victory was shortly outlived. He took off, dragging her with him. He stared sliding, and through a mouthful of fur, she mumbled, "What the hell?" She felt the air leave her lungs as she made impact in the ground, her jaws leaving his flank. He took off, while she laid there a moment, catching her breath and considered her next move. It would be too risky to attack right now, but an idea formed in her mind. She would chase the goat up the cliff until he lost enough blood for her to finish him off. She rose and watched him move to higher ground, picking her way up the trail, slowly but confidently, a dangerous glimmer in her eye.

Notes: Heika she's out to get him as of now, lol.

Generations of natural selection had ensured that the goat was fleet-footed, and he made good progress scaling the cliff. Despite the injury to his right hind leg, he was still nimble enough to maintain some distance between himself and Zayev. As he climbed higher and higher, his destination became clear; if he cleared the top of the cliff, he would be able to descend on the other side, and everyone was faster going downhill versus uphill. If Zayev did not stop him, she would lose all chances of reaching him once he disappeared over the crest of the bluff. Determined, the goat picked up the pace, ignoring the pain in his flank in lieu of securing his safety. MOUNTAIN GOAT ZAYEV Notes: eti The goat is bleeding, and will lose some health every turn.

Zagreb sees the goat scramble for the other side of the mountain, but doesn't give up that easily. If she can force him to stay off the other side of the mountain, she could get him. She takes off after him, and slows her pace as she nears. She leaps in his direction, teeth bared, paws out in front of her to trap him at the very least. She hoped and hoped that she didn't fall to her death by making such an impulsive move, but she needed this goat. Not only for Chaos, but she was growing hungry and food was becoming scarce with winter approaching. The coldness didn't help, nor did the gloomy weather that kept most prey animals to their respective safe areas.  speaking
