Arya
The goats were scattered about eating the slim remains of the potato field that had been hear previously. These goats had come down from their mountain regions in that summer to rain havoc on the crops of nearby farmers. When Arya and the rest of her pack were passing through the farmers had asked for their help to rid them of the goats. The farmers, only wanting to save their crops, couldn't be bothered with how the goats were disposed of and so her own rider suggested a mass extermination. There were too many goats, which would explain why they were now coming down from their mountains for their food. Not only would it correct their overpopulation, but it would also refresh their supplies of meat as well as provide wool and coats for future sell. Brienne honestly couldn't be bothered with the goat problem, though she didn't object. What she did care about was that these goats came down from the Tartok mountains and a recent influx of wild dires had become available in said mountains. She had her eyes on a merle dire many travelers mentioned. It was agreed upon, they would do a quick extermination of the goats and then head for Tartok mountains.

She crept along the tree line, silent and with all the knowledge of stealth she could muster. They would never see them coming. The goats bahed and neighed amongst themselves, bickering like children, unaware of their soon to be eradication lurking in the trees. She stood still, head low, and with shallow breaths. Waiting as everyone to entered their positions. The riders taking perch in the trees to give them an advantage with their longer range weapons as the tokotas below moved to encircle the herd. As she hid among the trees and foliage her mouth watered at the thoughts of all the goats that would cooked tonight. All the various soups, baked goods, roasts and fry goat there would be. She knew Ygritte would spoil her and reward her with her favorite of garlic, salt, and basil roasted haunches first.
The bright shine of the sun hitting her eyes from a reflection in a mirror signaled her it was time act. A howl sent her blood rushing and her body flying over the bushes and into the plains before her, racing towards the nearest goat. A nanny nursing her kid immediately fled at the sight of her, leaving her kid behind to fend for himself, but it wasn't the young kid she was after, she wanted the mother. A much more worthy prize. The nanny ran straight for one of the cliffs surrounding the plains, but the herd was fleeing in the opposite direction and fleeing from Jeyne and Ramses. The nanny collided with another smaller goat and they both went down with Alerie pouncing on the both of them. Viciously ripping at their throats and faces with her teeth, they lay dead in a bloody mess and were dead in seconds. With her first target dead, Arya turned her attention on another goat, a billy this time as the herd split into to two and into the forest. 

Rhaella
These goats were infuriating, running and scattering in every direction. She wasn't a herder and these goats were forcing her to herd them. One would run by and she would grab a hold of it and shake as hard as she could, but as she was occupied with one goat another two would slip by. Flinging the carcass away she continued her assault on any near by goat, taking less time on each one trying to catch them all. Her subordinates did the same as they corralled and steered the herd this way and that. Blood soaked the ground as the grass drank it up greedily. She could hear arrows whizzing by and guns being fired around her as the more human riders took part in the slaughters.

Alerie
With her mind focused and her fangs sharp she slaughtered goat after goat, with little to no remorse. It was a job her rider put her to and that was all she needed to know. She never questioned her rider, just as Rachelle never questioned Brienne, and while she knew somewhere inside she should feel some small amount of remorse or guilt or pity for the goats, she couldn't find such feelings. She didn't take joy in their slaughter like Ramses nor was she angry like Rhaella. She felt empty. An order was an order, a command a command, and that was just that. The goats fled in panic and chaos. Unorganized and scared they ran whichever way had the farthest tokota, but they were simply allowing themselves to be herding in a circle, going round and round again. None could surpass her body block and as they would pivot and jump over one another to escape her they would just run into the jaws of another. 


Ramses
The goats were gone much too quickly for his liking. The last of them managing to scurry their way up a cliff and out of reach. A few were shot down by one of the redhead women, but as the goats scaled higher she lost interest. Ramses turned his attention away from the cliff and back onto the field of blood and corpses. The piles of goats already attracting a numerous amount scavengers. The crows and ravens flew over head as some of the braver coyotes and foxes darted around to steal a kid or two. Rhaella was taking quite a pleasure in chasing of the little canines and he considered joining her for a moment when the sound of pitiful whimpering reached his ears. As he rotated his ears and head to find the sound he witnessed Jeyne with her tail tucked and being hovered over by two dominant female tokotas. Tokotas who probably arrived by the scent of free meat. By the identification tags on their ears they were starter tokotas and Ramses only knew starters to be entitled and dominating And while he was fond of Jeyne nor the pack he was traveling with he liked those two females even less. Just as he spun to make his way to the starters, the greying tawny Arya, surged past him quicker than light and madder than a bat from hell. What he saw next astounded him. He knew Arya was aggressive towards strangers, but she was downright furious with these two. Her canines caught the side of the light grey one's face as she struck out with her front paws at the other tawny. With the females preoccupied Jeyne made a run for the forest with her tail tuck and still whimpering.

Arya
She refused to release her hold on the greying female name Sialuk. Sinking her teeth into the smaller tokotas face until she reached bone. Shouts of panic from her riders could be heard all around her as Sialuk thrashed about and slammed herself to the ground, in an effort to dislodge her, but she kept her bite. It got to the point where Sialuk lay panting and bleeding onto the ground as hands were placed in Arya's mouth and pulling her back. With one last glare and growl she allowed herself to be pulled away. The gashing wound left in Sialuk's face, bloodied the whole right side of her face, coating her eye and flowing to the ground. Before anyone could move to help her Sialuk took off and into the trees leaving a blood trail in her wake. The other female, Tikaani gave her a growl, but fled after her friend.
"All of that didn't happen." Ygritte waved circling the blood and trampled grass on the ground. "If anybody asks none of that happened. We weren't here." It was agreed upon quickly by everyone in the pack.
Not my personal best #shame
