Today was the day.
Everything these budding hunters had trained for. Cub Day. She would lead them out to the Alfort caves and they would choose their life long companions. Evaline smiled as she gently stroked Kiyan's mane, running her fingers through his fur.
She had gotten an early start this morning to pray to The Pure One for the safety of her charges. Now she waited quietly with her own beautiful Alfort, Kiyan. She brushed him slowly a while the sun crept up over the mountains and the village started to come alive. There was no hunting on Cub Day, out of respect to the magestic animals, so the hunters all stood around chatting among themselves. They were just as excited as she was. The hunters that were joining her, Rin and Hodfred, were to meet her at edge of the forest where the path led out on the east side. Which should be within the next few minutes. With practiced ease, she strung her bow and slipped it over her shoulder, her quiver and dagger were already in their places, and her pack was full. Just in case.
Evaline let out a small sigh and looked up at The Pure One. The High Priestess Forsythia would be addressing the hunters before they left. A blessing to keep them safe. Hasn't failed yet. With another sigh, she buried her face in Kiyan's fur.
