Snow then searches about for Carrion-Crow-Pecks-the-Eyes-of-the-Dead, who has been among them in twilight all this time.
"Carrion-Crow," she calls in First Tongue, gesturing the spirit to head north. "Accompany Johnny and help him to trail our prey."

"Son of..." Wukong curses as he watches the spirits flee in Twilight with his mouth hanging open. When Snow speaks he quickly moves to her so he can acquire the blessing of spirit claws. Those fat bastards are not getting away, he thinks to himself growling in the back of his throat.
As soon as the ritual is finished Wukong's form blurs, his staff vanishing into ephemera as a massive wolf with bristling black fur specked with golden highlights in its lion-like mane takes his place. A golden chain hangs about the beast's neck, just faintly visible through the thick fur while a light gold marking spirals up the length of his right-front leg. The right side of his body is also scarred with a number of shallow furrows of ghostly-white fur.
Spoiler
Johnny didn't hesitate. Even before Snow had finished issuing the order, he was shifting to Urhan. The dark brown, scruffy hair that covered his Dalu body thickened as his arms and legs morphed into canine limbs. NightBird melded into Johnny's arm as he took on his lupine shape, and his clothing also joined with his flesh.
Once the transformation was complete, and his orders delivered, Johnny broke into a run in pursuit of the three spirits. Even at full speed, he travelled in virtual silence, a feat that always looked surreal to his pack as they watched him go. He instinctively moved with the form of the hills and other landscape features to stay relatively concealed as he shot after the trio of spirits. His goal was not to catch the spirits; it was to keep tabs on their location, but it was taking all his effort just to keep up. He began to wonder if the others would be able to close the distance before the spirits reached the river.

Spoiler
Breaker hears Snow's yell and sees that his Pack has taken to the hunt. He hisses a quick, "Shit!" and shifts down to Urshul form. His bulky, scarred humanoid body transformed into a massive, scarred engine of death that stood five feet at the shoulder and was over eight feet long. Breaker could feel his senses sharpen and his blood boil with the thrill of the hunt.
Snow had commanded them to circle her and Johnny had taken off after the prey. Breaker did as he was told and joined his Pack around Snow and awaited the blessing. Breaker muscled his way into position and It was clear to Snow that Breaker wished to be the first blessed so that he could move swiftly. Everyone in the Pack knew that Breaker was the fastest.
Spoiler
Keys had been so busy gabbing that she almost missed the changes that the squirrel corpses were undergoing... and that surprised her so much she missed the spirits fleeing in the Shadow until Snow called her attention to them. With a snarl at her own inattention, she waits her turn -- last, as usual -- for her alpha's blessing, then falls in behind the rest of the pack for the hunt.
Spoiler
Bodycount's eyes go wide at the sight of the spirits, and an even wider smile spreads on his face as he realizes that a real fight is about to happen, and that he's being told to lead the chase. He just barely restrains himself from running along with Johnny right away, his excitement evident in his eyes as he waits impatiently for Snow's blessing.
As soon as she finishes with him, he is in Urshul again, ready to begin the hunt.
Spoiler
When she has finished blessing Keys, the last to come before her, Snow attempts to take the shape of the dire wolf in order to join the hunt. She finds the process slow going, and is not immediately able to join them.
