Snippet #2661905

Shane looked over the two dead wolves, and carried them to the base of a nearby tree, laying them side by side. He then removed his hood, as to not block his hearing, and took stance where he had found the wolves. Shane started sniffing for a scent, but the odor of the wolves was too strong for his nose and couldn't find anything else. He therefore gave up tying to find a scent and searched for footprints. Trying to determine the nature of the attack was proving to be hard given the abnormality of it.

After a quick look around, the only traceable footprints were those of Shane, and the wolves. Shane quietly muttered to himself. "Whatever it is, it's doing everything to hide its tracks. The attack seems recent so I need to find a lead quick or I'm not going to get anywhere. It attacks close to the village, but doesn't come close enough to be seen.
The village? No. The only Dagga that would kill a wolf is a hunter, and they don't leave corpses behind in the wild. It's definitely a creature. Aggressive and intelligent." Shane gives off a sigh. "But nothing like that lives around this part of the forest. Nothing we have encountered anyway. It's not like I can just go back and say a creature killed some wolves today without finding out what it is."

"I can't go too far from the village because technically I'm still on duty". Shane took out his Tanto again and climbed up a nearby tree in order to get a better view of the nearby surroundings. "It might come back. If it does, I can't let it see me. But what if it doesn't? It will get away. I'll wait ten minutes. If it comes back, I'l find it. If it lives around here, I'l find it later. But if it just runs away, it might not come back. Or it could just be moving on to somewhere else. I can't help the feeling of being watched though...".
