Location: Area surrounding Avanthal Date: 7th Day of Fall, 510 A.V. A slight wind blew from the north, twirling the light snow that was falling into delicate spirals in mid air, before finally settling on the ground. Viktor had come out here with a single goal in mind, food. His bear side had been craving "fresh" food more and more lately and he had to give in. So now he was away from the warmth and comfort of the city, looking, or rather smelling for food. Once he was out of sight of the city, he quickly undressed to avoid tearing his clothes and was overtaken by a flash of light. a split second later, where there once stood a man, a large white bear had replaced him. He raised his nose in the air, looking for the faintest trace of his desired meal. Almost half a mile away, a seal came up for breath at an almost hidden hole in the ice, nearly covered in fresh snow. The scent was carried over the breeze, and worked it's way south. Viktor's nose twitched, the odor of digesting fish, indetectable to a human's sense of smell, was like a red flag to the kelvic. He took off at a trotting pace towards the source of the smell. Once he was within a hundred feet of the hole, he slowed down to a crawl, trying to remain as low to the ground as possible, even going so far as to keep his paws over his nose to hide the tell tale black dot approaching. The seal was long gone, but there would be another, they all had to breathe eventually. he slowly and carefully cleared the snow away from the hole, giving himself a clear shot. He crouched near the end of the hole, one paw over his nose, the other prepared to strike at the appearence of the next, unfortunate, seal. Now the only thing left to do, was wait. |
