[SEASONAL EVENT] [OPEN] Full Bellies, Warm Hearts

DEVRUM His massive paws thundered against the snow in an explosion of white dust as the bear turned its head to see Vervain set up her shot. Rushing toward the deer the beast roared, startling the creature in a chance to botch the huntress' shot. Internally Devrum laughed, hearing the unspoken curses she was sure to weave ever so poetically. The dear, turned and began to sprint in a zig zag motion, the bear attempted to keep pace with its footing but its girthy frame buckled its feet on the slippery surface as a ball of black and brown fur could be seen in the distance skidding across and disappearing with an audible crash. Splintered wood and leaves shooting out from the hidden crash site. A staggered roar was given before its body rippled once more into that of the rough-legged buzzard where it screeched and zoomed after its prey. Soaring over the top the predator glided, its eyes scanning below. Its screeching cry alerting Vervain their prey was still in sight as it began to circle over the deer's location. Devrum thought to capitalize on the opportunity, plunge down and crush the animal where it stood just within the clearing. He would do well to damage such precious meat, which didn't come by often. So he remained, hovering over the dear, safe from alarming it but serving as a beacon for the huntress to take another uninterrupted shot.
