Daear: The Hunt(Pt. 2)

Daear's eyes gazed into the starry Barrens' sky as he woke suddenly from his deep sleep. The dream was still fresh in his mind and haunted his thoughts. Is this a sign? he wondered, his gaze still locked on the heavens above. The dream surprised him as it was unlike the normal dreams he had of his family and tribe. He dreamed of a lion stalking through the golden barrens grass, the mighty hunter walking proud and strong. He was the mighty Barrens hunter. Soon shadows surrounded the lion and shadowy figures began come from the shadows toward the beast. The cornered lion tried to defend itself as the figures began to rend and tear at him. They clawed at it until his flesh was mangled and blood covered the ground. The lion was soon overcome and disappeared into the darkness.
That is when Daear woke. He stared into the star flecked sky pondering the dream. His thinking got him no where. The dream only seemed to frusterate and frighten him the more he thought about it. He began to wipe it from his mind and clear his head. The calm brought his connection to the elements back more vividly. He felt the earth he lay on cradle him and the wind carry away his fear and frustration. It was a comfort only this land could give him. Daear smiled widely know that all was well. We may fight and struggle he thought, but the elements will always give us comfort. He turned his head to one side and spotted Ero sleeping close by. He felt a strange sadness for the other Tauren. How can one find fullness with such a disconnection from the elements? Daear's mind wandered again. His achievement is his comfort. The thrill of the hunt and the love of the kill are his joy. He finds solace in being the mighty Barrens hunter. Daear's eyes widened at the thought as his mind reeled. Daear's whisper was taken with the wind "Ero, the Barrens hunter..." Suddenly his mind was shocked back into reality as teeth sank into his shoulder violently and a loud wail sounded behind him.
