The wolves waited until night time before leaving the cave, thier target was a small caribou herd that was passing through the land. Iceland scouted ahead and confirmed that the herd was resting.
The plan was simple, the wolves would spilt up after the herd was alerted and bring down a caribou. Denmark and Norway would pair up, Sweden and Finland would pair up, and Iceland would either go after one by himself or help one of the two pairs.
The wolves padded quietly through the forest, eventually arriving at thier target. The herd was awake and moving slowly. Denmark looked around making sure that the others were ready before raising his head in a howl.
The herd started running and the wolves took off after them sprinting at lightening speed. Finland and Sweden targeted a caribou that was bigger and was running toward the edge of the herd to try and protect the young of the herd. Sweden went in first launching himself at the caribou and latching on to its back leg.
The caribou was slowed down as it tried to kick Sweden away, he growled trying to break its leg. Finland ran up after Sweden had gotten the caribou to the side of the running herd he jumped on and latched himself onto the caribou's neck crushing its windpipe slowly.
The caribou eventually fell to the ground, dead finally. Sweden was panting as he had gotten kicked by the caribou while going after it, the side of his head bleeding but everything else seemed alright. Finland walked over making sure he was alright before looking around for the others.
Denmark found the head male caribou of the herd, the beast was huge and he knew they could take it down. He went in first, Norway running by his side, he leaped onto the back of the caribou hanging onto it with firm claws and jaw strength.
He clamped down on the back of the caribou's neck trying to suffocate it, Denmark thought he had it. Norway was running beside the beast making sure it didnt run back into the herd. The caribou suddenly bucked trying to throw Denmark off and in proccess veered to the side. Norway yelped in surprise as the caribou reered up and was about to get trampled before Iceland came up behind him and shoved him out of the way.
"Iceland!!!!" Norway yelled looking back to see his little brother trampled under the beast's hooves. Denmark eventually suffocated the caribou and it fell down dead, "Ice!" He yelled running toward the trampled wolf.
Iceland was laying on his side panting heavily, his side had gotten stepped on, breaking one of his ribs, "Little brother I am so sorry." Norway exclaimed looking over the other, "Sweden, Finland!" Denmark called out.
The two came over, Sweden dragging the caribou behind him, "What happened?!" Finland exclaimed oing over to the others.
"Ice got trampled by a caribou." Denmark mumbled looking at him, "We need to get him back to the cave." Norway said and the others nodded, he carried Iceland on his back while Denmark and Sweden carried the two dead caribou.
"How are your legs Sweden?" Finland asked, "Alright." He simply said. The five got back to the den and Iceland was laid down in his bed to rest. The four started to tear at one of the caribou, they were starving. Norway tore off meat and brought it to Iceland so he could eat.
Eventually the caribou carcass was torn clean and disposed of outside the cave. The other caribou was kept at the back of the cave.
"What now?" Denmark asked and Norway sighed, "We need to help Ice heal first before we hunt again..." The others nodded.
