As much as my curiosity begged me to go investigate them further, I refrained. I'd not lived this long by taking chances. I'd observe them, see what they were, and THEN I could sate my curiosity later, on both the smaller creatures and the big, brown ones. It was clear enough that the larger ones were herbivores - nothing to really fear. The smaller ones, though...I was uncertain.
Perhaps my curiosity got the better of me - I was too busy looking, and not busy enough hiding from them. Eventually, they spotted me. Was twelve or thirteen in total, not counting the horses. I knew better than to play with odds like that, so I just held my ground in the safety of my little tree.
Until they started running towards me.
They were slow enough, something I could easily outrun, and thought the horses were an unknown, I'd kept pace with other four-legged creatures in the past well enough. Plus, their size would make the dense undergrowth a burden, where I found it to be a blessing. No, they'd not catch me.
Still, they came. I didn't know it at the time, but they were hunters. Exotic beast hunters. I didn't really know it at the time, but it seemed like I was a rarity - or a possible rarity. Foxes were common enough, but there was always a chance I was something different - a kitsune. Of course, I had no idea what that was, or how we might different from just the average foxboy or foxgirl, In my little world, those things didn't matter. Not yet.
They brandished shiny...THINGS, like big claws as they started to surround my tree. I'd had enough of it - I hopped out, cast one final look back, and ran.
They chased me. They were HUNTING me.
I'd spent most of my life being 'hunted'. I didn't get hunted anymore. I was now the hunter. No. If they were so persistent, I was going to take the fight to them. It was just a matter of separating them, culling their numbers some, making it more manageable...
Child's play.

Hope you all enjoy the newest page of Queen of Hearts! ^_^ Going to be shifting gears after this one and getting some more work done on 'The Hunt', I've left that one lingering for far too long! So, can expect the next page or two of 'The Hunt' up within a week or so, assuming all goes well!
See you all next time! <3

And the hunters became the hunted. Love that look Cassy's eyes :3
Posted by CassyInko 8 years ago Report
That's when you KNOW you've made the fox mad...>:3
Now, how to handle so many people..XD <3
Posted by Paradox 8 years ago Report
Easy: they want to capture fox alive?
So they must have contraptions like cages, or chains with them.
Solution: Fox eats some the people now and keeps rest in cage as food reserves. >:3
Posted by CassyInko 8 years ago Report
Oooo, now this is an idea I like alot! >:3

Posted by CassyInko 8 years ago Report
That...is lotsa noms! :O But she'll certainly try! >:3
Posted by Ridwanwolf 8 years ago Report
Yes yes it is xP
Im sure you wouldnt mind having a few either
Posted by CassyInko 8 years ago Report
No...I would not mind this at all! XD <3
Posted by Ridwanwolf 8 years ago Report
I know a tasty lil wolf girl who wouldnt mind <3
Posted by Liz 8 years ago Report
Looks like its time for vengeance.
Those eyes dont show fear like before. They show power and annoyance. She is growing strong ^^
Posted by CassyInko 8 years ago Report
Yeah...>:3 Noone hunts the fox now! She's certainly not the timid, weak lil' fox she used to be...

Guns vs bellies.
Posted by CassyInko 8 years ago Report
More...crossbows and arrows/swords vs. the belly! Guns are more of a rarity. Not unheard of though!
Just gotta see how effective they are!
Posted by EldritchWriter 8 years ago Report
When it comes to a hungry belly, the only thing can defeat such is fullness.
Posted by CassyInko 8 years ago Report
All the truth!
Posted by blobs65 8 years ago Report
Aww why hunt Ryla? D:.... If you try to hunt her.. You won't stand a chance! >:3
Posted by CassyInko 8 years ago Report
Hopefully! >:3 They do outnumber her alot, though...D:!
Posted by blobs65 8 years ago Report
Pfft that's no problem! XD They should be easy. :3 -pet- you got dis. :D
Posted by Robxander 8 years ago Report
I'll gladly help you take them down one by one and feed them to you despite being human myself :3
Posted by CassyInko 8 years ago Report
...Dis is 100% acceptable! XD
Posted by Kasra 8 years ago Report
Ah, so they're not just explorers, they're hunters. Poor, stupid, misguided hunters.
Get 'em!
Posted by CassyInko 8 years ago Report
Poor hunters...>:3 Then again, they're something new...who knows if Ryla can handle them all..XD
Posted by Kasra 8 years ago Report
Well, it's not a matter of whether or not she can handle them all...'course she can, with the proper tactics. But now that I think of it, she probably hasn't had a chance to LEARN those tactics in this environment. The hunters will actually be working together.
You do know how to make me look forward to the next page. But I've ALSO been waiting for The Hunt to continue. Conflicted!
Posted by CassyInko 8 years ago Report
Hahaha. xD That's where you're exactly right! She's used to 'tactics'...but not THESE kind of tactics! This is entirely new...and as smart as she is, this is a whole new world. Things might not end well for Ryla here...
Posted by Kasra 8 years ago Report
Ah, but regardless of how it turns out she will survive, and she'll learn. And she'll remember.
These hunters would probably be better of just letting her go.
Posted by CassyInko 8 years ago Report
I will say...these hunters are what ended up introducing a 'wild' Ryla to civilization...
...and things just went downhill for EVERYONE but Ryla from there. XD
Posted by DissociatedChaos 8 years ago Report
Clearly, there are going to be at least some gurgles in the future. I hope all those hunters have life insurance, cause even if they get back with her, they're going to be short a lot of hunters. :P
Posted by CassyInko 8 years ago Report
Likely at least some...>:3 Maybe not as many as she wants...XD
Posted by DissociatedChaos 8 years ago Report
Aww, they'd better make sure to feed the fox plenty if they do catch her... or people gunna go missing. :V

Ryla: "I AM THE ONE WHO HUNTS."
Bellying Bad, coming to Netflix this March.
Posted by CassyInko 8 years ago Report
Oh goodness....XD
Posted by Shady_Knight 8 years ago Report
So her first encounter with humans is another handful of amateur hunters whose plan is literally just "Find game" and "Catch it," huh? Gotta start from somewhere, I guess.
Posted by CassyInko 8 years ago Report
They do have plans (revealed later), as they've already caught a few other dangerous things! Ryla is just a fox, though...can't be TOO dangerous, right...? >:3

And now I'm just picturing Chris Pratt with his hands up, trying to ward off a pack of Rylas.
Posted by CassyInko 8 years ago Report
...Oh dangit....XD
Posted by ouphe 8 years ago Report
Now you're picturing that as well? Or now you're wondering about what he might taste like?
Posted by CassyInko 8 years ago Report
...A little of both! XD

They're out to mess with her, so she sure has a legit reason to.
