Welcome To The New Age

It was another cold morning for the mountain dwellers, and even Syna's grand light gave little comfort against the weather. Her light did guide the way for the hunters and Endal who were out for the morning catch. Alori and Durveth were two of those, going out at the break of dawn hoping to get an advantage on the creatures before they went into hiding again. The winds were cold for so high up, and with the speed that the wind eagle traveled it was even colder.

The teen Endal was covered in furs, leaving no part of her body uncovered save for her hands. The archer glove provided minimum warmth and her fingers were still being chilled to the bones. Hazel eyes peered out and around her, but saw nothing but trees and darting shadows beneath. They had been tracking two elk but at someone point that had been given up when something even bigger caught their attention.

Durveth had spotted a bear, a large male that was out for his onw meal. It was a much bigger meal than two elk, and Alori knew that there would be plenty left for the kitchens, and the fur could make a coat or a rug. Durveth soared lower, large eagle eyes following the trail of the bear. It was on the hunt, but it's movements were slow. It was possible that the bear was tracking the same elk they had been, but the animals were too far ahead to either to tell.

I think it stopped. Can you go lower? Alori said, speaking into the eagle's mind.

The forest is too thick here, I don't have anywhere to land. We'll have to wait until it roams into the clearing before we can go down here.

Petch, that could take forever, what if it decides to take a nap? What then Durveth?

Alori was never the patience sort, and as much as she worked on that flaw, the teen had only gotten slightly better than she was before. Sighing, she leaned forward and rested her arms on the back of the wind eagle while she soared in a full circle over head...and waited.

Welcome To The New Age

I don't think it will take that long, besides it looks like it's hunting something. It will move again soon. But if you really want to go down there so fast, then go. I'll drop you off and you can run for your life while it chases you. If you're lucky, you'll reach a clearing and I'll have time to get it before it gets you.

There was something mocking about the wind eagle's tone, and Alori frowned and rolled her eyes. Durveth was cracking jokes, but the tiny Endal was being serious. It was those types of actions that had gotten her meals in the past. Those same actions had also almost gotten her killed as well. Still, with no mentor it was the only way she learned to hunt, and the teen did her best. Alori looked down onto the world below, holding tightly to the straps upon the harness to keep herself centered.

Flying was never easy and it always felt as if some invisible hands were pulling at her, attempting to snatch her off the back of the wind eagle. It was a job in it's own, that and trying to look out and search the ground for prey at the same time. Can you still see it? Is it still in the same place? Durveth didn't answer and instead, she linked with the teen's mind and showed her a quick flash of what she saw with her eyes. The elk were gone now, but the bear started on the move again heading east.

Oh there it is, lets go. It was probably the last of the bears around until after winter was over and they all returned from hibernating. Alori wanted this catch, she needed something big to prove that she and Durveth were a solid team. The wind eagle felt this as well, and she knew what it would mean to Alori. Durveth also wanted to out do her sister, and prove that she had the better rider. She was a very competitive eagle and like Alori, she wanted to be the best.

"Come on, go faster! It's almost near the clearing. Go, go!" The moment that she said it, the little huntress wished that she hadn't. Durveth was a fierce-some eagle and a fearless acrobatic. Her keen eyes could see things much better than Alori's which helped her to react a lot faster than a human could. Without a word, the giant flyer turned into a spin, angling off her wings as she swooped into a hard dive. The only thing Alori could do was scream for all her lungs were worth.
