Run, Run, Run

Éldi kept up a grueling pace, pushing the animals as best he could. He wasn't quite sure where Kaler was at first but then he spied the cat to the left of him, excellent. Justice let out a whoop and he grinned. He loved the feeling! Flying over the prairie, prey centered in his sights. Justice kept a good distance from him which he appreciated. Between the three of them they would be able to herd more effectively. When one of the deer tried to break off to the left Kaler was quick to herd it back into place but he could tell the cat was tiring. Wolves were built for hunting through endurance, felines were not. Soon Kaler slowed and fell into a walk, panting. The cat would catch up in due time. He'd done his part to help get the animals moving.

Thankfully, they didn't have much longer before one of the does began to lag dramatically behind the others. All of them had been thin and struggling do to the lack of food but this one also seemed to be ill. Perfect. He glanced at Justice, hoping to catch her eye. Not that it was terribly necessary, the target was obvious at this point. Éldi angled in toward the deer, put on a burst of speed as he tilted his head and his fangs tore into the deer's left thigh. It tried to kick and in doing so stumbled, face planting right into the dirt. Now was Justice's chance!

He was thrilled with how effectively they'd hunted. In his mind it was going perfectly. But then, he was focused on the hunt. He hadn't noticed a hungry grizzly was watching the hunt and moving in for his share.
