Behind, the drumming of the hunt. Why the orcs hunted them, or how they were found out, was unimportant. Escape mattered only.The child was scrawny, perhaps five years but looking four. A wild mane of hair hung down her back, and sharp teeth showed from behind peeled-back lips. She clung to the old wolf's ruff with her hands, and clung to its ribs with her knees. She moved with the wolf as one, and barely encumbered it.The wolf was an old bitch, but tough and smart. Her dark greyfur was streaked with white, and her eyes were dark tan pools. She ran tirelessly.Apart, each was clever for their kind and age, but together they were as relentlessly cunning as the wind.They hit another stream, going under the water and swimming downstream as long as their breath could hold them, then splashing back onto rocks and then into the forest. The hunters were trying to drive them upmountain, where there was less space to run. Let them try.The hunters were lost. The wolf and orc cub travelled cautiously to avoid trails, and finally retired to their den. Tonight would be hungry, but safe.</blockquote>
