24 Felling

With a great slam Caleb rammed the horn through the eye of the wolf and a disgusting squelch of tearing flesh was followed by a disgusting CRACK of bone lurched out the wolfs wound, As he struck true ,it felt as if time stretched,the crescendo of the play was ending, he felt alive, With a determination in this still moment, he pushed forward.

Crimson vitae sprayed out the wound like a fountain which slicked Caleb's face, he could taste iron, with the strike landing true the Direwolve had its final sanguine breath all it was able to let out was a shrill yelp which was silenced by the gurgling of blood that welled within its gnashing maw,the beast body shook in its death throws as Caleb flayaled around by its great body hanging from the horn but as only a second passed the great beasts body stopped in its death throws as its final moments reverberated through its body ,Now slack the body fell towards the ground and with a great bang the body was felled and the noise rung out the forest like a funeral bell .

Without hesitation Caleb stomped on the horn and the cracking of sinew and bone rung out fromgiving the animal a deathblow without anymore pain, Mercy administered brutally, twisting the horn with each increment of rotation the sound of bone cracking sounded out, Caleb cringed at each crack but he stomached it , After a full rotation a disgusting cracking Caleb quickly taking the now dislodged horn he rubbed it against the grey fur marring it with crimson, he looked back at his work and sighed even for him this brutality still made pangs of regret and guilt even knowing the necessity , now he darted to another tree only a small ways away he started to climb now instinctively climbing he now needed to act decisively.

[Erase Scent Skill Created]

Throughout his skin it burnt as if it was on hot coals and through biting lips he worded ,

"[Erase scent]"

As he verbalised these words it felt like moisture was just lifted from his skin and just was erased, his racing cacophonous heart now stilled with this new found sanctuary created with the skill.

'FUCK I DID IT ,I DID IT SYSTEM ,I KILLED ONE '

[You killed 1/3,2 to go ]

Looking back at the carcass with heavy ladened breathes now feeling the pain coursed through his being, the carcass lay strewn on the damp forest floor, Crimson Vitae pooled out of the head of the beast,

Caleb heard heavy rustling and his head darted towards the treeline disrupting his celebratory mood.

2 Last Plays of Hunter and hunted yet to be played

2 shadows almost like lightning shot towards his location.

2 Giant Direwolves arrived like harbingers of bad news to Caleb.

'The fuck, why are they so fast here '

Caleb shook in anger and protest at this sight not wanting to believe, he watched on as seeds of doubt formed in his mind.

The giant Direwolves approached and sniffed the carcass of there fallen brother and now their teeth were bared in rage, Caleb just pissed the 2 remaining Direwolves and they don't seem to be taking the death of a packmate lightly.

Now growling with saliva falling from now slicked fangs, Eyes now narrowed and as if Caleb was hallucinating the Direwolves eyes glowed red with there rage made manifest and they prowled with hair raised up not caring about stealth but now set on killing who slew there brother.
