- Adelheide had gone much further out on the Plains than she had originally intended. The plan was to target a passing deer herd and pick away the weaker ones, but somehow along the way she and Kauri were separated and Heidi found herself in a part of the Plains she wasn't as familiar with. Of course, she knew the entire Arena territory at the back of her hand, but recently she had barely ventured out so far, especially with tensions rising high between the two packs. Quinlan wouldn't have anyone that great a distance from the camp.
Tracking the distinct scent of elk that at some point trailed back in the direction of the camp with a plump, dead hare in her jaws, Heidi kept her head low to the ground but her ears erect for any passing sounds. Without a second wolf to aid her in taking down a deer, she had no choice but to forgo the hunt previously and set off on her own game. She heard the soothing hum of the meandering river, the breathy rustle of leaves in the warm late-morning breeze, the coo of a quail flitting past too high for her to catch. The snowy-pelted wolf inhaled deeply, her muzzle pointed down at the rich, slightly moist earth. It was going to rain soon, she decided. There was that familiar rain-smell in the air that always heralded a small drizzle. Prey would be going into shade as well, all but the creatures like otters who preferred to frolic in the waters. That meant she and Kauri had to track the herd somewhere to the Swamp. A soft, slow huff escaped Heidi's maw at this. If, she ever found Kauri, that was. As of right now, the Legionnaire wasn't within earshot by any means.
Grass swaying, trees bowing, breeze whispering warm on her back, and... The clump of hooves? Heidi lifted her head so quickly her neck almost cracked. Then there they were! The entire, massive herd, moving as one towards the familiar shaded Swamp. A grim smile curling the corners of her maw, she quickened her pace, bringing herself lower to blend in with her surroundings. A single stray wind could give away her position. She had to be quick, and stay absolutely silent. Like a ghost. The gears in Heidi's sharp mind turned furiously. If she could return to camp undetected by the herd, she could rally more wolves for the hunt while they were still in this region. No matter how glorious a huntress she was, one wolf couldn't kill a whole deer on her own. She needed backup... Fast.
Fortunately, by the time Heidi slipped through the tall grasses and flew like the wind past the slender trees of the Swamp, she spotted Quinlan (Also the Emperor), Robin, Takaani and Corbin in the distance by the Caves. Surprise stirred within her. What were they doing here in the most dangerous area of their camp? Flattening her ears, the snowy wraith started forward tentatively in their direction. She swivelled her head round once to check the air, and the deer scent was still distinct, albeit a little faded in the midst of so many woody and critter smells.
She wasted no time in getting straight to the point. Dropping the hare at her feet, she looked right up into her dearest friend Quinlan's eyes, and spoke. "A deer herd is nearby, and Kauri's gone. I'm sorry I lost her. We need your help."
