The air was tense as the black noses turned into white muzzles. Which in turn turned into a wolf's head, and what was that, several smaller wolves. Puppies? The animal that had emerged from the bush was a mother wolf, along with her five pups. When she noticed Wald, she had a tense moment for herself. Her hair began to stand on end on her back, it was as if she tried to get larger. She was trying in vain to steal Wald's kill, all to feed her pups who were already moving to the kill.
Wald calmed down, instead of keeping his bow out, he decided it was better to put it away. He has had experience with wolves more often now. He began to walk to his kill, standing tall and not looking to the mother. The mother began to start to growl, though it had to effect on Wald. Ylfa had a much more potent growl then the young mother. Wald made his way to the body, as he took his knife out. Plunging the knife into the back of the body, he began to cut the flesh down an invisible line.
Wald had cut the back end of the animal away, leaving the rump and back legs on the ground. After getting the insides of the animal out, he backed away from the kill, bringing the front half of the animal with him. The group of wolves went right for the fresh meat, that Wald happily gave to them. He had started to think of them as a way to extend his family now. Not something to scare away, but someone to help out and receive help from.
Wald made his way to the camp with the front half of his kill.
