The cat came out in the open, growing bolder as it began to pick its way across the dried bits of mud at the edge of the mucky lake. Oh no, oh no, oh no! Was this the end of the line for her? During their travels, Canyon had chased away not one, but two cats. Acacia's anxiety and keen senses had noticed the felines before they drew close enough to attack, thankfully. She always felt safe with her dearest friend by her side. Right now though? She felt like a walking snack.

And then Askan was telling her to breathe. 'In and out,' his voice reached her mismatched ears. In Askan's voice, she heard Canyon telling her the same thing. They even demonstrated the breaths in the same way and, though she was feeling more than a little faint, the mare managed the barest of smiles. She complied, breathing as the wolf indicated. It did make her feel a little better, but what made her feel best was what happened next.

The small canine rushed the cat, closing the distance between them quickly. The feline seemed to rethink its course of action. It turned tail and began to flee. Acacia though that this would be the end of it, but Askan kept running through the thick mud. His teeth latched into the puma's tail and he pulled hard. The cat wailed in pain and another rough shudder coursed through Acacia's slender frame. Why was he attacking the cat? It had decided to run away. The mare frowned. It would have just come back later when she was alone again. Perhaps this was the man teaching the cat a lesson. In that moment, Askan was her hero, hooves down.
