To Herd or To Hunt

((One of the suns was higher than the other, obscured by the peaks. As a result, about half the cliff sides threw long, dark shadows, while the rest of the rocky terrain was sunny. The bones of giant, ancient beasts poked from the ground, a reminder that this land was built with time and pain. But the three hunters weren't here to unearth the memories of the past, just investigating the small caverns and crevices along the mountains–where there, the natives said, huldah could be found.))...

((The heat was sweltering, fully drying the mouths of the xiunari moments after they took a sip of water. The sunlight super heated their pelts until they felt like they were wearing heated blankets, and pierced their vision with the harsh light. Crumbling ruins in the distance, their sandstone roofs long fallen in, offered no respite, either. Only the occasional wind barely brought cool air, but brought with each a disproportionate flurry of micro-sand.)) Skritch, Shenzi, and Akira ...

Moon Stone slammed down an almost empty basket of herbs. Onto the large wooden table that sat in the middle of the room. Aristaeus, a blue and white Tsabhua welp, leaned over the table to see what was inside. He recognized what used to be the soft green of mint even though it was wilted. "The Jaebo have gotten into the garden again. They are worse than the rats!" Moon Stone said through clenched teeth. "Just look at what they did to my herbs!" She indicated the sad looking herb lying i...

"This shemesh has been very good for the nukaps," Ycthuthrheth explains as it follows a black tsabhua, a pink tsabhua, and a yellow wingless aerobic tark'ee further into the fungal swamps. "In fact, it's been too good. Leave them be, and they might wreak havoc on the ecosystem." Citria tilts her head at Ycthuthrheth. "Wouldn't flowering hounds typically get them?" "Nomads hunted them down. A uh, 'preemtive protection' of their livestock if you will," sighed Tezcatlipoca, claw qu...

"The herd of Hojenst is getting too big." Alexander stated as he walked into the main building where all the adults of the village were discussing the plans for the year. Moonstone turned from where she was talking to Kel. "What do you mean, too big?" "There are too many. They are devastating the fields and the trees. Yesterday a belemoid welp almost got trampled when the herd got spooked." Alexander answered. "We could always use more of their meat. The winter was hard o...

Although feeding the queen would've been enough for Skritch, and the prince's reward had been generous, the starving royal family necessitated more food. Still, they hadn't brought back the meaty hojenst steak requested by the stern old king, nor the leaping jaebo wanted by the princess. "Which do we hunt first?" Skritch tapped his chin, considering the options—bunny stew wasn't so awful of an idea. Hivoo, a slate tsabhua, regarded him with a gracious smile. "It doesn't matt...

"Pest control!" Resounded the powerful voice of Thylla, the black tsabhua with a large tan underbelly. She carried an oversized net over her shoulder, a byproduct of the fishing industry that she'd snagged from next to some old shed or country store. "Free huldah cleaning!" Hivoo called out, cupping her hands around her maw to try to project the sound of her voice further across the flat, muddy bay. She was Tylla's helper who, like her, originated from the colony of Tsidal. "...

((The lake of visions was unusually quiet, with the ravine empty of its common troves of travelers. Although now the sky was setting into a deep pink, the colonists were in the hottest months of shemesh, a season akin to summer. The water shimmered with the pale light of the sky overhead, a rare solace in the vast dunes of the Issiq desert. Surrounded by sandy beaches and the rising, multi-colored geologic formations of the ravine, it made a pristine location to hunt – When it wasn't crowde...

((The fungal forest smelled like rot and certain death. Sparse grasses and redtails tickled underfoot, while the ground itself was either a thick layer of mud, or covered in swamp water. Mushrooms, usually small things attached to decaying wood, now dwarfed the large tsabhua. Worse-still, in the wind they shed harsh spores, and even without it, many slowly dripped sticky sap from their caps. The twisted branches and fields of layered swamp continued far into the distance, rising as mountains ...

Not heeding his son, Far'lan whistled softly and Novato burst out at the herd, spooking them just as Far'lan had said would happen. ((With a horrendous cry out in alarm, the small herd bellowed as they stampeded away from the surprise. Some kicked and flailed before finding their footing to join the others, kicking up a combination of mud and ice as they ran.)) Artaygo braced himself, feeling an odd kind of fear take over him as he watched the stampede rapidly get closer. Far'lan, like ...

((A new day dawned over Or'Sol with the cold fresh sea air rushing over the steep cliffs and gentle sloping hills before gracing the clan with the fresh morning scent.)) Novato, however, was already stressed before the dawn was even a whisper on the wind. Dragging himself out of the comforting warmth of his home and into the biting winter winds, Novato donned his warmest cloak, which still somehow let in just enough cold to make him miserable. Far'lan was already waiting at the ranch by...

Splash and Parhelion waited for Illisandre, Coco, and Laza to head out into the snow. While they had preserved the hojenst meat for the travel back to their own colony, they had heard that Skyward had a jaebo problem and were more than happy to help. Free food was free food, after all. Splash lead them towards the fields, Parhelion trotting along alongside them happily. The young aquatic liked nothing more than to chase the jaebo - and had come to terms with the fact that sometimes the popula...

Ambergris waited at the transport pad with no small amount of nervousness. Ae had been entrusted with showing some visiting colonists to where the hojenst tended to graze so they could hunt, and ae was finding the trust that had been placed in ae nerve-wracking. Ae shifted restlessly, while Parhelion, who had insisted on meeting the strangers, was fast asleep in a nearby patch of sun. ((The cold weather and weak winter sun had forced Ambergris to wear a coat, though gusts of wind still...

Alexander waited patiently on the small docks of Sanquine Cove. ((He could see a large shipping vessel between the two mountain cliffs. A small boat was slowly moving into the dock.)) Thomas had told Alexander who he was looking for before saying that he had something to do and disappeared. He did that alot. The small boat finally made it to the dock and one of the dock hands quickly tied the rope that was tossed to them. Out stepped two Tsabhua. One a silver appaloosa, and the other...
