The Buffalo Time: Dusk, the sun sets in an hour or less. Weather: The day was hot, the wind from the west is slowly coming over. Cooling the plains down. Location: 7 miles away from the dens, 10 miles away from the river. Pretty much all you can see is dead grass due to lack of water and over populated with buffalo. Nevar stood as the grass swayed back and forth with the wind. He watched as the buffalo grazed through the grass as if they weren't there. Slowly a few heads would perk up as they ate, watching the blurred images from a far. Nevar knew they had a chance, since the buffalo never seen a pack of wolves like them. Nevar had hope in his new family, he knew they would survive anything that came if they knew how to stick together. He soon focused, as he watched the buffalo moved. They protected the weak, the young, and the elder. He had to think of ways of how to split them, how to separated them, how to make it just the weak, the old, and the young? He stood there thinking as he waited for his pack to enter the sight. Finally, the first hunt. This time, it will not fail.

Squall walked toward Nevar, "So this is your first pack hunt huh?" he said as he sat beside Nevar. The breeze picked up and rustled Squalls fur "It's a nice time to hunt, not to mention the nice herd." he said as he looked at the herd. "Will the others show? I know by myself I could not take one with my powers alone." He returned his gaze over the terrain. "I await your decision Sir." Squall said boldly and waited commands.

Nevar turns his head towards Squall, as a smile appeared. He was glad that someone was on time, and obeyed orders. "Glad you made it." he says to him in a calm matter. "Yes, we do have a few who haven't hunted a large mammal, so will struggle at first." He answers. "Lets find the weak point, we need to test them. We need to figure out what way they will run. We need to see who they will leave behind and who they won't. Usually its the elder or the injured." He says as he strategies his attack. 'east, north, or south? Maybe west?' he thinks to himself, he looks around taking note of the surroundings, where did he want them to go was more of the question.

"So you want to separate them? Good idea sir." he said as his yellow eyes glowed while he looked over the herd, "I could split them up with a wind storm, if you wish." he wanted to jolt out there and try to prove himself to Nevar, but he held himself back until an order was given. Squall watched the herd with intent huffing under his breath to catch the scent. "Be with me." he whispered to the breeze, that soon began to pick up. "I'm ready whenever you are Sir." he said as the wind rushed through his fur.

"Hmmm.." was the only words he could really say. "We must test them first, they don't know us. They don't know what we can do. Kouhai is a land that is hidden from outside creatures, a magical place. They never faced fear, all they had to worry about was the survive of climates. But now times are changing, and its time to show them fear. So we must first test their strength, and their knowledge. One wolf will go down and find the weak link. They will watch that wolf, they may even fight it. So it is a dangerous task. The buffalo who will dominate will take stand, and we will attack it. We must show fear in these creatures. " He takes a breather and looks to Squall to explain his method of how, "I will be the wolf to test the buffalo, I will need you to move the others around. Create one area of clearing, we will drive them towards the south. You can use the wind to slow them down, but remember not all of us know how to run through the wind so it might slow us down as well. We need two wolves attacking the feet, one on the back, and the most dangerous one on the neck. I will take the one on the neck, for I will be the first to attack. Your sign of attacking is when I attack, their alpha will challenge me, for any alpha will challenge anyone that threatens them. When he does I will show them fear, by taking a bite out of his neck. When I let go, is when we attack, the heard will run. And our target will be that alpha. He will be injured and bleeding, he will be the one behind. They will be lost and confused, and seeing more wolves will making them become the sheep. So do you understand the method?" He looks into Squalls eyes, forgetting that the other wolves have not reached him yet for this hunt.

"I understand, Sir. I will await your signal." he said with proud tone, a smirk filled his face, this was his chance to prove to Nevar that he was capable of being the beta male. "This is it. This is my chance." he whispered to himself and waited for Nevar's voice to say go.

Nevar looks around as he took notice that his pack did not show up. He sighs and tries to calm himself as well as keep himself sane. "You will lead the others if they show, just tell some of to attack the feet and the stomach, and tell them where to go. I have complete trust that you will know who will be good at what spot. If my pack fails to show, our plan will change. You will surprise them on one side, use your gift to slow them down. I will attack the neck again, and you will attack the stomach. Since we are both large wolves, it should bring it down. If this alpha is to large, we will jump down and attack again but in different spots, to make it more weak. I wish you in luck, wait for the alpha of their herd stand their ground, and then you can move. IT will give my pack sometime to get here." Nevar says with one last look into Squall's eyes, he knew this wolf had a good heart. Something he needed to help him.

"I'll start from behind the herd, they wont see me I'll stay low. I'll wait till you fins the alpha and he challenges you, then I'll create a wind wall that will house you and the alpha, then just when the alpha thinks he has you cornered I'll leap through the wall and take him by the stomach, deal?" he said, as he wondered why Nevar's pack didn't show. "It looks like its just gonna be me and you boss." he said to Nevar as he began to get up and stretch.

"The alpha will run after the first attack, since it will be just me and you. I will love a cat and mouse type. Let him run, but use your wind to slow them down. Give them a challenge at escaping. When i bite down on his neck you can come in from behind... THe herd will take a move afterwards, so watch yourself. WE will need to let go, after we let go. Let him run, use the wind, and then we will start to take him down. I will go for the neck again but you will need to go for his feet. I will let go again, and then I will attack his stomach, stay on his feet until you can't hold on anymore... Once yoou let go, attack the top of his head and that should bring him down. " after he spoke his plan he turns to the buffalo, he takes a breath. He was disappointed in his pack, but he did not give up on them. He looked back to his new pack member, someone was loyal enough. "Lets hope we can bring it down." He says and he takes off on a jog towards the buffalo.

"Alright, let's do this." Squall said as he split off from Nevar. His pace was swift, and his body became lanky, as though he was walking in quick sand. Since it was just him and Nevar, he would get close to the herd and wait for Nevar's attack. He couldn't wait for the rush or adrenaline to pass over his body and through his veins, the wind picked up and Squall felt like he could fly even without wings. Stealthily he waited for his Alpha.

Nevar jogged with caution of the buffalo that stood only a few yards away from him. He soon stood still as the herd finally took notice of him. The mothers covering their children in protection, as the weak surrounded the outside, as they limp to protection of the center circle. The leader, their alpha, soon took center stage as he stomped the ground, as he snorted, warning Nevar that they will attack. Nevar stood his ground, walking side to side, showing that he was a threat to the buffalo. His eyes shifting behind them to see if Squall was in position. Nevar's power soon took over, as he made the buffalo feel fear. He made the alpha take lead, to show pride. He soon lowered his body as he snapped at the "alpha" buffalo, as it got closer to him. Quickly the buffalo was only a foot away from Nevar's teeth. He snaps one more time to show threat, and then lunged at his throat. Quickly after the attack, the other buffalo scattered in fear, their fearless leader being attack by animal was something new. The ground roar as they took pace, the alpha trying to kick Nevar off, as he held on tight waiting for Squall to attack.

He seen Nevar take hold of the beast's throat, Squall leaped and nosed dived behind them, he looked to Nevar, and went for the legs. He held on tight as he felt the beast squirm, his jaws gripped tighter as the buffalo stomped and paraded around trying to get away. Squall kept holding on until Nevar let go.

Nevar hangs on as his teeth broke skin on the bull's neck. Blood soon entering his mouth, his stomach growls. A emotion enter him, as Squall jumps on. The herd running in fear, as the bull tries its best. Becoming weak as he tries to kick both wolves off. Nevar lets go, as he locked on a little harder. Catching his balance before crashing on to the ground he stares at the bull, and waits for Squall to let go.
The bull, trying to run with his herd. You could tell he wanted to lead, he wasn't ready to die. But it was to late, the blood leaving the bull made him more weaker, made him fall behind. Letting a new bull lead the herd away from danger. It knew its last days were up, the worst part about it, it only lived for a few years. A young bull, who had more life in him. Nevar looks as he watches him run off, he looks to Squall waiting for him to catch his breath before they run against the wind. IT was finally time to take it down. "Let's go and get our food." Nevar says with a tone of impatient.

"Alright, I'm ready." Squall huffed as he hit the ground on his feet with a loud thud. Soon a mighty wind picked up and stirred around the escaping prey, "Oh no you don't dear friend." Squall spoke in a sinister tone, a tone that was not naturally his way, but in this moment it was. He began to run against the wind, "C'mon Nevar." he called to his Alpha.

Kaden was running. Not as fast as he could, no, but he needed to save some strength for the hunt, which by the was was happening right now. And he was really late. His stupid thoughts were going to get him in trouble. He would never be good for a pack, would he?
Kaden belived that a wolf neede to find his place in the world, where he would be siuted to live his life in its fullness. Life is meant to be lived. And even though one must think about their life seriously, they must also live with open eyes too. And when Kaden is in thought, he isn't aware of things. He scolded himself in his mind.
A wind came upon him, chilling him. He could feel the massive animals ahead and other figures who must be the Aquene wolves. They were already trying to take one down. Nevar and a wolf he hasn't met. Kaden rushed into the chaos, nervous but adrenaline-pumped. He knew someone had drawn blood-he could feel it spilling, filling his nostrils with a sort of painful sensation. He followed this feeling into the crowd of buffallo. Kaden came in next to Nevar and tried to help him by tearing at the animal's belly.He hoped that would help a bit, he was sort of unsure about these creatures.
