Nyx shuffled her paws. "Well I'm not exactly the best hunter. Ask me anything about herbs and I've got you covered though. I'd say Ares could teach you but you don't seem to like anyone but me so I suppose I will have to do."
Ares took the hint and stepped back "be safe in your hunt my love." he said softly his orbs soft and full of love for his mate. Nyx might be small but he knew that she was a force to be reckoned with.
Isis slipped up behind her older brother and grabbed the tip of Ares plume then gave a tug. A second later the smallest of the quints sprang away in a blur of grey and black fur a laugh echoing on the breeze as the lithe huntress darted away.
Apollo could only shake his dome at the antics of the youngest of the siblings decided that today would be a good day to get their alpha brother into a game or a sparring session.
Raven trotted toward the sparring clearing her ebony pelt standing out against the clearing. She was fighting fit and solid muscle. Her mind whirled with the thoughts of what Julius had said to her not long ago.
Jasmine looked around silently her grey and black pelt shimmered as she headed for the lake for a drink of water and a moment away from the noise of the camp. She was the fourth member of the quints and both she and her second born sister Raven were fighters well taught and trained. The quints were battle hard even before they were yearlings. They had their secrets and Jasmine knew that Ares the eldest of them really kept it heavy on his mind.
Nyx smiled. "Works for me. We are going to have to be gentle on that leg of yours though." She lead her out to the woods with a flick of her tail to tell her mate goodbye. "I always am safe. You know.. Except when huge wolves attack. But that's unlikely. They know I'm yours." She looked over her shoulder at him with a sly grin before leaving with Nala.
I trotted after her, "what are we going to hunt? Do you think we can chase some deer? When I had nothing to do, I would bark at deer for fun and see if I could keep up with them. I never could, but it was still fun."
I'm a dog musher, in the United States. I mostly do sprint but plan on doing a few mid-distance races.
Ares watched the two leave with a soft sigh. He shook his dome and gave a playful growl when Isis grabbed his plume. He darted after his sister knowing that he could easily catch her but not wanting to let his little sister think he was going to catch her too soon.
Apollo spotted Nyx and Nala. "I would take her down near the clover fields if you are intent on rabbits. I was down there earlier and they are running well now. You might also catch some squirrels near the pecan flats if those tempt your taste buds." The big hunter called to Nyx from where he lay between a few trees. Had he not spoken he doubted anyone would have seen him.
Indeed Nyx had not noticed him and jumped in surprise when Apollo spoke. She turned to Nala with a look of doubt then back to the large brute but still extended the offer to him, knowing he was slightly less intimidating than Ares. "Would you show us where to go and maybe join us on our hunt? Maybe you could help me teach Nala a thing or two."
