we look like lightning

Just in case the goat had decided to climb the mountain as Elias suspected in an attempt to get higher and further away from the hungry wolves, Elias positioned himself in a way that readied his muscles to begin an ascension as he waited and watched her. He was very intently staring at her, trying his best to read his prey's thought process while she made her decision on an escape route. She chose to climb, and Elias sprang into action.. flinging rocks out from underneath him as his talons scraped against stone and soil on the mountainside.

He climbed, each powerful limb putting in work to carry his lean body up in a fast motion. He was higher an altitude than Kai, though Kai being right behind her ensured she would not be turning away. In a matter of minutes, Elias had already climbed higher than the tiring goat, and lunged himself forward with each step so that he could gain ground and cut off her ascension up the mountain.

Finally, he was a living blockade preventing her from going any higher and she was forced to stop. With the two of them closing in on her, she had nowhere to go. Elias seized this moment of panic, coming down on her with another crack of lightning. He struck her forcibly, teeth latching onto her skull as he administered a quick snap to her neck to end their little game. He dropped her body almost as quickly as he had latched onto it, leaving her presented there in front of the stranger that had helped him secure the kill.

"Take what you desire, it is her hide that I am seeking." He was panting out his words, though when he looked up to the man finally.. he couldn't help but see something familiar in those bones. He was reminded of a man he had once known, and for a brief second he swore he could smell the presence of Aki.. but the rain quickly befell upon them and stopped whatever chance he had of truly studying that scent. He tilted his head, keeping the rain out of his eyes and ears as he yelled out over the rain.

"I am Elias Praetor, of Ruina. I appreciate your help here today, you remind me of a man I once met. Forgive me if I am wrong, but does the name Aki mean anything to you?"
