Almuit Rune Herd

The group of deer headed quietly through the trees, staying downwind so that no pet could pick up their scent. They did not step foot into the open either, not wanting to give themselves away. They now waited patiently for the horses to arrive. In the meantime, they began to graze. During the trip, Wycliff had been asigned to retrieve a rat from the Barn.

Free Spirit

Free Spirit trotted after the herd, wondering if Songa would come along. The large stallion snorted and stood near the herd, looking around. He lowered his head and swished his tail as he began to graze also. It had been quite a while since he had last ate; he was getting hungry. He kept his ears forward, keeping alert for any signs of danger nearby.

Songa

The mare trotted dutifully after, although aprehension was steadily growing as they got nearer and nearer to the human's land. He had been free for a while now and was terrified of being captured again. She stood between Free Spirit and Wycliff, wanting to be near her own kind, and also sensing the hind's desire for company other than that of stags and bucks. "I would be glad if you could help me remove this terrible burden." she siad lightly.

Almuit Rune Herd

It finally fell to night, draping the land in shadows and providing Huyen and Gaudalupe with excellent hiding. But just before Nhosh was to speak to his herd, Solange appeared with a smaller deer trailing behind. It was a fallow deer, and just as deep black as the other two herd members. But this coloration was not a defect really. With the fallow deer, black fur is not common, but it does happen now and then.

"He's a tame one. Being used as practice by the two-leggers. Some wolves showed up and killed the humans... but not before doing some damage." The buck nodded to an arrow which stuck out from the fallow's flank.

"Thankfully, the human that shot him was a youngster and didn't put much power in. The arrow hasn't gone deep and it doesn't appear to have hit anything vital."

Nhosh sniffed at the smaller deer before nodding, "Good, he can join us. But, stay back with him in the woods for now. Wycliff, try to get a rat from the cats. As for the rest of us... lets have some revenge!" the stag headed towards the fence and cleared it with ease. The other two bucks followed and began to look for any nearby sheep.

Solange led the still shocked and bewildered fallow buck deeper into the trees.

Wycliff nodded to Songa, "I will be glad to help you when this raid is over." She smiled, then headed for the Barn.

Free Spirit

Free Spirit grinned evilly and followed after the deer, him clearing the fence with much ease. He flew gracefully over it and landed hard with a thud, and he snorted before looking around the the long curly-haired animals. He kept a sharp lookout as he slowly trotted around near the fence to look for any.

*Sheep*

The nearest sheep were on the bottom of a low hill, some sleeping, some chewing thoughtfully on grass while chatting with each other. There were 10 of them here in this little group, and they were the farthest away from the others and the closest to the woods.
