we look like lightning

The sharp crack of lightning overhead only served to further excite Kai. Now, he was not only hurrying after his prey, but also trying to beat the impending storm. It made his spirits soar like wildfire, sending white-hot excitement racing through his blood. Somewhere up ahead he heard the tumbling of rocks, sent flying over the cliffside, as the stranger he had somehow invited to hunt with him moved a far distance off from him. He, too, was oblivious to the jagged edges of the stones below him cutting into the pads of his paws, numbed from the cold as well as pure adrenaline. He was grateful to hear the stranger's call from across the mountainside. Kai would press onward, running even harder now - if such a thing was possible - to close the distance between him and the mountain goat. With the two of them coming from opposite sides of the prey, their success was all but guaranteed, and Kai was certain between the two of them they could manage the kill. It wasn't long before he got a better look at the goat up ahead, who seemed to be catching on to her predicament. Going either way meant certain death, and tumbling down the mountainside was just as unfavorable. Likewise, heading up the steep cliffside would slow her down just enough that they'd both catch up to her. In her initial panic, Kai was able to gain ground on her, a growl building in his chest as she spun to head in Kai's direction, though quickly decided against that route. Instead, she settled on trying to clamber up the steep cliff, her pace slowly drastically and letting Kai close the distance between them quite quickly as he briefly turned to seek out Elias in the distance. |
