every time i think i've finally made it, i learn i'm farther away than i have ever been before
The hunter lowered his body down to crouch and crawl, his belly just an inch or so above the snow. He crawled and kept low as to sneak up on the distracted ursur just enough for him to watch. Letting out a breath, he closed his eyes briefly. Invisible callings rang out across the fold of Whitebrim and the surrounding tundra.
After a few moments of the only sound surrounding them being the ursur digging and snuffling through the bag, he heard them. The reindeer he compelled, a limp carrying it towards the ursur. The massive carnivore lifted its head, a snarl rolling past its tusks. "Wait..." Noah whispered to Sah as the tensions around them rose. He wanted the ursur to hone in on the reindeer before they pounced.
Stepping away from the bag, the ursur turned and lumbered towards the reindeer deliberately -- Noah knew it would not feel the need to run with the limp the reindeer clearly walked with.
NOAH
