[prp]Son of the -HUNTING I HAS EIT! [SubiraxImamuxOfdensen]

[Chi Sohma]

After a long day of waiting- she saw it. THE hunt. HER prey.. A smirk crossed her 'dragon' like lips as her rump went in to the air. See.. Around these parts.. Is where she had found the most hunt, when they were going to visit momma's 'friends'. Which were other Shamans like her and Subira.. But Imamu wasn't like her twin, actually. They rarely liked the same things but Imamu wasn't one to accept such a thing. All the 'troubles' just fly past her- and groundings never really finish their sentence after she finds a way to talk herself out of it. When you have 9 other brothers and sisters.. it was easier.

Subira on the other hand was the one stuck with most of the groundings.. since she was like the shepherd. More so over her twin since she was the more 'responsible' one, but a day like today. She was off duty and it was one of those RARE times that Imamu didn't want to get in to trouble. What she wanted was approval.. and showing that she would be a good enough hunter for her and her sister's survival. Subira wasn't one to go out and hunt. She was the one to think and stay alert.

Her claws slowly extended.. as she watched the smaller antelope and its mother what seemed like bathing to her.. Her aim. The mother. Her tail slowly wagged.. and a grasp of thought came in to her mind.. "Papa would surely approve of this one." Is what she said in her head but dared not to say it alloud. The younger were weak, and it wasn't much of a challenge. She could out run a small piece of meat like that, but the mother..was a prize..

She took in one faithful breath and when the adrenaline hit her toes she sprinted out of the brush and ran with all her might to the game.. Her eyes locked on and staying as low to the ground as possible.. Her heart pounding as they heard her last minute and buckled their heels to a run. "NO!" She screamed in her head.. with sweat already coming down past her ears.. "I CAN'T LOSE IT!" Spinning in her head.



On the other hand.. an aroma filled the sweat air..

"Imamu."

A voice so frail and deep spoke.. but in such a manner that sounded like a thousand spirits trying to reach out for the breath of life.

Ofdensen had managed to slip away for the first time since he had been born. It was not as though his parents were not over protective, or in fact, very protective at all, since the pack was like a large family in many ways...and no ways that really held much interest for the small Freeforest. It wasn't that he didn't appreciate the comradery that they held for each other, but rather he didn't see much poin in all of it. His mother told him stories of the warriors in her old pack, mostly tales to warn him against it, but they fascinated him. Dogs who worshipped death and what it meant to fight and die for a cause... whether it was money or protection of loved ones. They did battle with honour..he wanted to know what that was like. More so than any simple hunt could give him, Ofdensen wanted to hear the songs of death that his mother's pack had sung... But hose who worshipped death had a tendancy to die, which made his wish an impossible one.

So he decided to wander instead, knowing full well that sooner or later, his mother, a seeker of the highest order, would find him and bring him back home. One thing Zaafarani... Saffron, did better than anyone else, was find things that had been lost. It had been how she had found his father after all, or so she claimed. He didn't think his mother had it in her to lie, for she was so incredinly frank and honest... unlike his father who could charm worms into the mouths of birds if he so chose.

And as he wandered, he caught sight of a herd of antelope... and two other wild dogs chasing after them. Young, like him, and he would say they... didn't seem to have much chance of catching the anteope, but they seemed determined at least.

[ Subira is actually a bit away in her temporary hidesake in the bushes in the forest ;o She isn't with Imamu ;o <3 Just so you know. ]


Imamu was strikingly fast and made the biggest effort in taking down the antellope.. But this was no easy task for the mother knew full well that if she could not make it that she would try ANYTHING for her child.. and thats exactly what Imamu wanted Running after her, surely she would lose them so she dodged and tried after the child.. making the mother turn as they were going down a hill-yet grassy area. Taking the energy of her hind legs and jamming it in the hill so her jump could heighten- headbutting the child's legs so she ran in to her mother- making her fall..

The child wasn't her concern.. thrashing her way on top of the child to get to her mother- taking one swift mouth full of the neck before they all headed downhill. making her body barely miss the first hit to the ground, swinging and twisting the mothers neck with her weight. The bone crunched- was the only thing she heard before she fell again- and again til they stopped and slid. Causing her right arm to curl under her and CRUNCH- the bone had jabbed out of place making the bone lift up over her shoulder. The other was still latched on to the female's shoulder/neck. As she fell she knew this wouldn't end too well- closing her eyes quickly to not fear the mingling aches to come. They stopped not even moments later- and she felt the kicks of the child in her stomach and one her back as it buckled away..

CLUNK CLUNK As she heard the hooves hit the ground and go off in to the distance.


"And as I pray dear spirits.. take care of my twin. I beg and let thy will be done. As it is in the spirit world's song."

She was...alive. Or.. so she felt. The ground was still beneath her but her eyes wouldn't open- afraid that the pain of having failed at something would flush in. "So..warm." The blood rushing to all parts of the body now as she tried to recuperate with long breaths. "Not the end." But her jaw- and her legs went numb with having almost half her body under the antelope. She flanked her ears back and started to move.

"The hyenas... the hyenas.." She chanted with a mouth full of fur. She thought, "If I can't get up- they'll eat me and MY game.. and Subira's dinner.. must get up. Must get up." Her words played back in her mind several times. "Get up!"


Subira's body shook- and the fur on her back rose.. something happened.. and for a moment she got a little worried- but then she remembered. "I belong to them.." And submitted herself in to the darkness where she prepared a circle of rocks to place the game that her sister would bring. Death, a wonderful thing she thought- and if her sister died now. They would become one, or so her theory played in her mind. Her ebony eyes closed..

[Ah, sorry, missed that]

Ofdensen watched what happened, mostly impassive about the whole affair. A hunt to to the death, and the girl was only a little older than he was. Interesting, but ultimately not his concern. Though it looked like the fall had killed her, or at the very least her prey. Perhaps he could get a snack before he went home, or let the pack know that some antelope had fallen nearby, along with the cub. A shame, but not one of their people, which meant she was of no loss or use to them or him. He was certain his mother would dissaprove of his attitude, but generally hers mirrored his. She had never cared much about who lived and died either, whether she would admit it or not.

Moving forwards, mostly ignoring the pack, he walked down beside the antelope, leaning down and taking a thoughtful look, "Excuse me, are you dead?" He inquired, mostly to see if she would answer him. If not... or perhaps even if so, he would take his food and leave. She was no concern of his.

But looking down, he saw that she was, in fact, still alive. Though trapped at an odd angle it seemed. How unfortunate for her. He wondered who would find the location of the herd most useful... the pack leader perhaps? Maybe they would even want the girl released if something didn't kill her before they got back...

She grumbled.. and took another big gasp- as much as she could before hearing a set of footprints nearing her.. Which made her try to squish her way out and warn the other on goer-... but then a voice spoke that wasn't that of a violent animal. Which made her ebony eyes slowly open.. and soak in a very blurred view. Silvertongue. Didn't we run him away before? Momma's friend. It HAD to be. Making her lift up the animal from her back and pull him strongly.. She was her FATHER's DAUGHTER. Not his- and HE was stronger.. or so she put in her head.. After having the animal's body half hanging off her rump she lifted her head up in a very protective stance. Huffing.. and as soon as she opened her eyes. A shocking factor made her almost tremble in her paws... A pack member.. his smell.. was the same as that one momma's friend. It almost angered her.. he wasn't a dragon..

"You WISH I was dead- free loader!" She growled in a snottish way.

She showed her teeth.. and tried but failed at trying to put her tail up. Then she started a feisty bark fest for about a few seconds before turning around and taking a bite out of the animal to start shoving it off to Subira.



She sparked a fire after a few moments and started to sing.. it was a lovely yet eerie song.. One that chanted spirits but sounded like one was talking to the dead. One of the spirits- of the leafs spoke to her... and told her of what the wildlife phases were.. and the vibrations of speech- around her sister. Harvesting the leafs energy through her fur.. and in the spirituality light. Her eyebrows pinched.. Something familiar...

"Trying to take another's game! Who taught you manners.. trying to take a dragon's food. HMPH!" She grumbled as she pulled.. but what looked like an impossible feat. It was really a sight to see a small thing trying to drag something almost four times her size away.. it was.. just a funny sight indeed but in this little girl's mind it was ALL the norm for her. She took down only two game bigger.. With help.

"You are... quite noisy and annoying." Ofdensen mentioned, looking down at her and speaking frankly. He had earned that from his mother, as he didn't often lie unless it somehow suited him to do so. But right now, the girl was quite obviously completely trapped, and he felt he had less and less incentive to rescue her as opposed to... oh, say, steal her food, by the minute. He was not a dog proned to pity, nor was he a savior in any way shape or form. Unless he knew, or liked the person he supposed... perhaps a family member, yes, he would have saved a family member, though he doubted they would need it.

He walked around the corpse, taking stock. A little small, but surely it would feed his family were he to return with them and the girl was dead... or perhaps, though it seemed unlikely, she would be grateful for the rescue and offer to share. Though she did not appear to be in the right frame of mind. Shame.

He watchedm tilting his head as she actually managed to pull the beast off herself and began to try and drag it off. Had he been the laughing sort, he would have... but the sound annoyed him almost as much as all the nonsense and mud around the whole situation. What a strange dog he had met... yes, perhaps he should go back... she would not likely get far, or abandon her kill... something might drag her off and leave it... more likely kill her and take it for themselves... his mother would not likely consider it.

She liked children, after all.

She looked up... a mouth full of her prey and then squinted her eyes.. That's when she realized he looked quite familiar which made her drop her prey and put a paw over it, protectively. "Silver..... tongue." She whispered. "You look like a friend of mauh mums." She pointed out. "Imm not gunna believe your lies. You...-" She stopped and sniffled. "You even smell like'm." She nodded. "Subba knows dat too.. yep yep." Her face turned and her tail tapped a bit. "Dunno how come yours are so weak."

Her speech quite simple and almost broken because of her lack of sitting still and learning correct speech. Subira was quite smart and manipulated her more.. duller sibling.

"You'll just grow up with a broken heart." She told him, nodding her head as if she knew the future. "Well.. if your HIS son that is." Smirking as if she did a mischievous sort of smile.

"Is this voice... from him. Will our generations repeat again.. Will he take our heart again.." She whispered. "Oh silvertongue.... have we shook your world up this much. Did .. you miss her this much.."
