Abyss nodded towards Zanu. The buck may have been old, but it was considerably large. She crept over to it it, and swatted her paw at his snout, making him jump and toss his head. The rest of the herd started to move away. The buck tried to follow, but the black wolf snarled and jumped in his way, snapping her jaws at his front legs to keep him from moving forward.
Li readied himself, then jumped out of the overgrowth, making the buck fall onto its side because of the slippery mud, and roll over the timber wolf. The large wolf held on to one of the antlers to keep it from tossing its head and goring him, as well as Abyss, who was still keeping it from noticing Maska, and slowly pushing it closer to the father.
Aku blinked and looked down at the pup. "We're heading to a secluded den. We should be safe there."
