A Stone's Throw from Death

Karabela examined the boulder more intently before picking an angle and waiting for Peregrine to join her. Oh yea, she was definitely not moving this thing by herself. Raba placed her shoulder against it as Peregrine did the same and she leaned into it, getting a feel for the affect of her weight which was pretty much negligible. Her garnet eyes locked with Peregrine's gaze and on the count of three her powerful legs pushed with all their might as the boulder shifted slowly…. slowly…. "C'mon boulder! MOVE!" As if answering her spoken command some of the smaller rocks suddenly shifted below the larger one as the massive rock rolled down the mountain side. THUMP! CRASH! THUMP! It rolled farther and farther until it hit a fallen tree and was launched into the air. It sailed for a few moments before landing with a crash on another large rock and splitting in half. The two halves continued their way breaking down into smaller and smaller pieces. Karabela turned to Pere with a smile on her face. "That was sweet!" Panting she sat down. "I think I need a breather though. It's about time we start down the other side of the mountain. I'd like to get to the Battlefield before dark if we can."
