It was night, but the frozen plains were still glistening in the light reflected from the two moons in the clear night sky. Guards wondered around the perimeter of the Rostovii settlement, pulling a sabre-tooth tiger with them. The guards held large flaming torches to give them light as they surveyed the lands, protecting the Clan should there be any attack. On the inside, guards walked around the labyrinth of gers in twos, one carrying a flaming torch for light. Some guards were returning to their family's ger showing it was the end of their shift. Everything was silent, for now.




A mile away from the settlement lay a small herd of deer, either sleeping on the snow in the dark, or wondering around the area ripping out the small tufts of grass which poked out of the snow. Nearby, hidden in the local foliage were the Rostovii hunters. They numbered to about 30 men, including Alekzandr and Vladamir. Without a word, Alekzandr made a simple hand signal, telling the hunters his plan. They should gain one deer per man in order to feed the rest of the clansmen, there was a enough deer to fulfill this rule, but they were mostly juveniles. The group spread out, walking carefully to only give off the small sound of crunching on the snow. They were picking their targets and moving in slowly, each wielding either a spear or a Rostovii Great Sword.

Alekzandr did not wield any weapon, they were insignificant to him. This did not hinder his choice as he slowly made his was to the largest deer. He gave off a small whistle while pulling his gloves off, showing his strange hands which made him a spokesperson. They had holes in them, not from fighting, he was born with them. The cold air instantly turned them red and then blue, this also caused the holes to begin bleeding, small drops of blood fell to the floor. It was a religious rule that spokespeople must use their "hidden sense" when taking part in acts of survival. As long as no other being saw the hidden sense, of course.
The whistle attracted the attention of the large deer, it perked it's head up and quickly stood, raising it's awareness of the surroundings. Suddenly, it was met with a being jumping onto it's back. Alekzandr used the noise given off by the small cries of the dying deer and the noise of his target raising to quickly move into it's blind spot. Now that he had made contact, he made the killing quick, grabbing onto the head of the deer and quickly whipping it sideways. Snapping the neck and causing the deer to fall to the ground. Dead.




Vladamir had followed a juvenile deer into the woods, using the sound of it's heartbeat and footsteps as a means to track it. He stayed far enough from the deer to make clicking sounds without grabbing it's attention. He used this chance to climb a tree and move silently across the branches. His light footed nature placed him at an advantage. However, the sounds of the deer had disappeared, he looked around hoping to "see" the sound waves but there was nothing. It was a good thing no one was around, he raised his arm to his head and pulled the rag which covered his eyes to rest on his forehead. His eyes were obviously deformed, the eyelids were sealed a small parts, giving the look of his eyes being behind bars. His sight was the same, he could not see well due to the parts of his eyelids covering his sight, but it was still enough for him to see the deer. It was still and looking around the area. The sound of climbing the tree must have made it aware, but it did not stop Vladamir. He quickly and silently ran across the branches, placing him above the deer, in it's blind spot. He carefully pulled his swords off of the clips, holding them both upside down, the blade cleanly ran parallel to his arm with the scythe part pointing outwards.

Vladamir switched his wielding to hold one of the swords upright, resting the scythe part across the branch he lowered himself down carefully. Hanging right above the deer, finally, when the time was right. He pulled the sword away from the branch and dropped down, before he even touched the floor, he swung the other sword upwards. Using a punching motion to drive the sword into the neck of the deer, the scythe part, specially designed to decapitate, sliced into the deer's throat, cutting cleanly until it was stopped by the spinal cord.
As the deer fell to the ground, dying the snow from white to red in blood, Vladamir landed on the ground next to it. He placed his swords back to the clips located on the sides of his belt and pulled the rag back over his eyes. He quickly felt over the deer and grabbed the legs, pulling it in the direction of the rendezvous point, clicking to determine a path.
