"Certainly safer, that way. If my Shade is willing to delay, then, we shall add in some smaller hunts first."

"We're closer than we have been. I don't mind setting up the best chance we can."

"Alright. Hunting together is a good way to get to know someone, besides."

"What shall we seek?"

"I'd prefer a challenge, though not an overwhelming one - it'd be a better circumstance for us to learn how to work together, for one. Otherwise, divination can define fairly arbitrary parameters for who I want to find, though it doesn't always guarantee they're close."

"Very well."

"Do you have a preferred sort of prey?"

"This sort of thing is not really one of my hobbies. But my magic works best on things with blood."

"The Heartless have blood, though it's an odd sort - but perhaps a Heartful. More classic, and more like the actual threat we'll be facing."

"That sounds suitable, then."

"Ready for the Hunt, then?"

"I suppose so. Mora?"

"I'm ready enough."

"Find our target, then."

She laughs, spins, and points. "Our initial heading!"

"Do you two require mounts? We move rather faster than the normal human can run, after all."

"That would be helpful."

She whistles, and two other wolves run up. "They'll bear you quite well."

"One hopes." She essays a pet.

The wolf pants, apparently pleased, and presses against her side.

Hooray. Perhaps this will not be terrible. She climbs up.

The Yew Queen graciously waits for her guests to be settled, before taking off like a blast of wind through the trees.

Somehow, they don't crash into anything or fall off.

As far as modes of travel go, this is not her favorite.

Mora seems to agree, keeping a death grip on her wolf.

Well, the Yew Queen is having fun, and it gets them where they're going quickly, ripping down from the woods and into a plain, crossing that in a blink, the grasslands turning into desert, the desert opening into a mighty river spilling down an enormous canyon, their mounts' footing sure -

And their mounts bring them easily out of the way of a lashing whip of water, their target stepping out from a cave in the cliffside, her teeth bared in fury. She seems to have allies, several weaker Heartful fanning out behind her.

Well, it seems there won't be any difficulty in getting the fight started.
