the hunter's heart did not grow faint

the time to act was at hand

he resigned himself to the fate he had chosen

to hunt the hunter

to stalk the stalker

to kill the killer

in his hands was his companion

the death to many that had fallen foe to the hunter's lust for the kill

piercing the hearts of his prey he recalled the essence that filled his

being

it was almost as if he had consumed their souls

he laughed to himself....their souls...souls of beasts

it was time...he turned and frenzy overtook him...the calculated rage
that must fill the heart of death

he opened his mouth to cry out

but no sound passed thru the larnyx...

the beast beyond snapped its gaze and glared toward the hunter

but its eyes passed over as if the hunter was not even there

the puzzle had not lived an instant

as cracking and crashing roared into the hunter's perception

from just overhead

the hunter lunged without thought under cover of the stones that had

been his temporary temple of reflection

peering about with only his instincts left to guide him...all other

auras of self had vanished with the deafening astonishment....the

unseen variable that had not even crossed the palate of

consideration...

from the crouched and hidden...

the hideous beak faced invader screeched out and pain permeated the

hunter to the very core of his semblance

exhileration coarsed the veins of his spirit as the two gods of the

swamp faced off ....their brows low and the eyes locked upon the

others first strike as they circled slow the warm and dead

carcass of the behemoth ....the trophy of battle

the hunter smiled yet his eyes were wild ....he turned his thoughts

away and the roaring and crashing and screeching dimmed from his

hearing as he scrambled thru the brush from which he had come....his

thoughts turned towards his hunger and a small rabbit he had passed

earlier in the day...
