Moon Phase

The silver fae lay on the ground, within one of the meadows. Her tail thumped against the ground, content at the moment. Her lids shifted from closed to open, then back to closed again. She was not tired, though had nothing more to do. Or did she. As a soft growling came from her inners, she looked startled. It had been awhile since she had hunted. With a look about, she bod shifted, bring the fae to her full height.

A grey fae, darker then that of her mother, ran right for her. A few yips, echoed out, a few hidden growls within. her motions were swift, and unlike her usualy proud look, she ran like any other.

Behind her trailed a creamy white mail, a few silverish spots around his ruff. His motions were faster, and his salmon tongue hung over his fangs. As he gained n the fae, she stuggled to go faster, but Apollo was quicker. He lept for her, tackling the fae to the ground with a few playful growls.

"Why do you have to do that!" Artemis whined as she struggled to get free, nipping at his features.

Moon Phase looked at her children, giveing them an odd look before sniffing the air, searching for the scent of her mate. She wanted to se if she could find him. If so she would ask he stayed with the pups, if not she would be forced to bring them with her. Though staying within the lands alone would be no problem for them, she felt if they were with her they could get a feeling for hunting at a young age.

Darkeyes*Bane*Taipa

Darkeyes wandered in at just that moment, trailed by the pair's younger daughter, Taipa. The pup had wandered off after a sound, and he had gone to fetch her. She was showing promise in hunting and stalking, and he was proud. He came to 'Phase's side and smiled, planting a gentle lick on her maw, and grinned wider as he heard her stomach growl. "Hungry, sweet one?"

Bane slunk back in alone, having been off about some mischeivious business, no doubt. His father eyed him disapprovingly, but the pup did not hang his head as most would have done. He met his father's gaze without flinching, and Darkeyes left Moon Phase's side for a moment to cuff the young pup for insolence. The pup barely noticed, and alpha moved back to his love with sadness in his eye, though he was too proud to let his pose show it. In so many ways, Bane took after his grandfather, and the prospect frightened his father.

Darkeyes moved closer to Moon Phase instinctively, suppressing a shudder.

Moon Phase

The fairy stood, smiling at her mates touch. Though as he went towards Bane she followed him with her eyes. Darkeyes seemed troubled by the pup, that alone being odd. A parent 'fearful' of a child. Not the picture of parenthood is it? With a slight shake pof her dial she turned once more to her mate. "I am off to hunt. I was unsure if the youngone's should stay behind, or if we should bring them along for a lesson."

Darkeyes*Bane*Taipa

Darkeyes was amazed how much his younger son resembled Shaman, the pup's grandfather. Still, he allowed his mate's smile to reassure him, and when he spoke it was with a fatherly pride. "I suggest a compromise... one of us can teach the pups in one region, while the other hunts for the REAL food." And he smiled softly, remembering clearly the number of times he had fouled his mother's hunting. "I believe Taipa has the hang of things already, though her nose is not so good. But be that as it may..." and he paused, smiling again, " shall we make a family trip of it then?"

Moon Phase

The moon glossed beauty listened to her mate, harks twisting about. And as he finished her gaze went off towards the ranch, the place she had wished to hunt. She had grown a taste for sheep, more so than deer or rabbit. It would be a frather easy taste for an adult to stay safe from the jaws of the farm dogs, but the pups however...

"The sheep pasture... If we hunt there as usual our guard will need to be perticularly up. But if we think we can handle it..."

Darkeyes

Darkeyes nodded, and Taipa looke don with excitement. Her first real hunt! Bane continued to look uninterested. "As long as we stick pretty close together, I think that we should be able to get out in time if any dogs come." Darkeyes said, and waited for her to lead the way.

Moon Phase

The goddess smiled and nodded, motioning for the group to follow. With an easy stride, she lead the way towards the sheep pasture.

Apollo, the creamy white male, panted as he listened to the talk, his small plume waving. At his mothers motion he dashed quickly behind her, sure to not be left behind.

Artemis was a little less keen to the idea. Though hunting had crossed her mind, her skills had yet to develope much. So she followed behind, her dial slightly lower, and her intrests away from the task at hand. Even if she did not help, she wasn't in th mood to watch someone do something she was not good at.

Darkeyes

Darkeyes headed out, Taipa on his heels. Both went forth on silent paws, making no noise as they moved. Bane was following, but reluctantly. He could not see how "hunting lessons" would be interesting. Still, he followed, watching and waiting for something interesting.
