Kale padded through the snow, across the side of the mountain. He stopped when he heard a distant groan, his ears perked up and a grin grew, his white teeth flashing out. Caribou, a fairly young female just entering adult years. Easy to take down for the experienced brute. His eyes scanned the area, searching for the source of the sound as he crept towards it, knowing it was slightly on a different side of the mountain. He followed it and stood still, falling dead-silent when his eyes flickered up to a ledge that hung overtop him, giving him shade as his fur let him go unseen, though he still have small chunks of snow clinging onto his coat. Another groan assured him that the hoofed animal was atop this ledge, and by the sounds of her panicked grumbles, he could tell she was trapped there. Silently, he backed up the way he came to go unnoticed, then climbed up the rocky and sharp terrain with ease. Glaring at the beast, it was clear why she was trapped. It had stumbled down the steep slope which, in that certain spot, have small ledges, not fit for hooves. Kale danced his was down the slope, straight towards it when he stopped, and whipped his head back to look up the slope. He smirked, just as he suspected, the herd gathered higher, staring down with no use to help. Some had stepped forward, but slipped and retreated. Cleverly, Kale decided to get more than just one caribou. He had done so before, many times though usually with him somehow getting hurt, though that was the price to pay for such skilled hunting. He made his way back to the spot he had first come to, away from the prey as he climbed higher, his paws naturally stepped on ledges and pulling himself up. Within a moment, he was with the herd and the groaned. In the commotion some stumbled and began to slid down the slope, struggling to get back up. All was going according to plan, as one slipped and hit a struggling caribou, making them both slid down. They joined the trapped one, and Kale raced to try and herd them to go off the edge. He dodged kicking hooves and large antlers, barking and growling, with a sharp snarl he got four to slid down the slope. All of them made them slide faster, they collided with the trapped prey and they all were sent flying off the ledge.
With a thump! they had landed, and Kale raced down the slope he knew was safe. Leaping off the ledge he landed by them, they were all in the snow. Acting fast, he delivered many bites to the throat while others ran off, unharmed much from the fall. One, though, stood it's ground and tried to save the other two that lay in the snow, laying limp with blood around their throats. They were already dead, and the raging male caribou flailing it hooves, kicking at Kale as he dodged each strike. What he didn't miss was when the prey turned it's antlers to him in a split second and sent he flying, off the side of the mountain.
The caribou nudged the two others, the same young female who had been trapped on the ledge and was probably tired already, as well as a large-but sick- male who's antlers grew funny due to the disease and short coat had bare spots, showing off his pink fleshy skin, though it was a virus and not contagious in any way. In time the male left to join the fleeing herd, they would return in time but live at another side of the mountain for a day, so the hunt would clear out.
Kale uncontrollably fell down the side of the mountain, not rolling, but bouncing off the edge, making it painful until he finally landed in deep snow, flat on his back and felt a sharp pain in his spine. "Ahhh." He hissed silently, blood drippled down from one nostril of his nose, red falling onto his fur from it. He got up, sore and with a nose bleed, blinking a few times. His eyes were there and he could see out of one as usual, he hadn't lost a limp and was perfectly fine, other than the pain he felt all over his body. Nothing new, though. He had always felt pain and never made it a big deal. With a huff he made his way up a long distance from the fall, finally reaching the spot where he had made two kills, and they were both laying in the snow. His stomach growled, but he figured if he opened them up and began eating, and then dragged it down, snow would probably get inside and make a frozen mess. Instead of hauling them down one at a time, he pushed and shoved until they had gotten to another ledge, hanging over the side of the mountain. From there, Kale pushed them both off, and the tumbled down the side of the mountain, just like he did. He thought to himself for a moment before leaping after them, landing gracefully in a flash, drops of his blood left behind.
In time he made it back to camp, holding them both by one of each hind leg of the two, pulling with his strength until he made it near the kill pile. He sighed, though it wasn't really a sigh, it was just to get some air into his lungs. He puffed for a moment, before setting hem so that they both lay on their sides, the sick one with it's bare skin would maybe be more 'royalty' eating, just because there'd be no fur in your mouth, which Kale disliked though didn't really care.
He threw himself back on his hind legs, his forearms stretched out for balance as he howled. 'I've brought food' was what it said. He looked down at his catches and lay, crossing his forpaws together so that they'd overlap each other. He lay partially on his side, his tail flicking and twitching, swaying up, side to side contently in the peace that was now, since a moment before while he hunted, it was a big bash of things.
