Chapter 5
Over the many moons that followed, I taught the fox cubs to find and kill rabbits and birds and taught them to avoid livestock, a lesson that needed to be imparted regularly and sternly. I taught them how to kill and move silently, how to fish and how to track deer without scents.
During this time, I saw fewer and fewer humans or their tracks near my home, had they learned?
And finally, after too many moons, the foxes were cubs no longer and could hunt and could hunt as a pack. Not long after, I could get bigger hunts and the foxes had cubs again, many many cubs, too many and winter was approaching.
So, I began hunting solo again, bringing back human corpses whenever I couldn't find anything that wasn't livestock because ironically, dead humans going missing brings less fuss than missing livestock.
Eventually, after many moons, spring had come and with that, deer also and so we stopped hunting humans now that deer was back on the menu.
When our fox population became too much for even the deer to satisfy, I banished many packs of fox from my territory, causing a mass migration of foxes across Britain.
Unknown to me, the energy throwers were the reason humans wouldn't approach and were studying my actions from afar, after I'd unknowingly shown a resistance to their thrown energies. They considered me to be 'magical' but had no records of my existence, except for the location the mass migration of wolves began, centuries prior and now they suspected the cause.
