run me like a racehorse

Shuriken tried not to focus on her paws as she raced after Kuroki and the king of all deer. A grin wouldn’t be wiped from her face and as her long gait reached a top speed over the snow the world was given a glimpse of the grace the princess might one day possess. The young wolves crested the ridge and were greeted with the sight of the ocean and the ice bridge. Their quarry was in no danger, but seemed to almost take joy in the feeling of flight. Of return to where it originated. The girl’s dual toned eyes took in the patterned speckles of clouds as they raced across the sky above her. The wind buffeted her thin frame but she was driven on by the exotic scent of the god deer.

She raced after her brother and the majestic creature and as she watched it run the girl felt herself trying to mimic its graceful movements. She wouldn’t come close, and her thoughts automatically made her lose the beautiful stride of her own. Instead she began to leap after Kuroki and the deer, instead of alternating her paws she bounded behind. She gained a bit of ground as he was taken aback by the incredible view.

Kiyohime followed him to the edge of the ice and carefully put her paws against the slick surface. She didn’t know where the king of deer was going but she wanted to send him off. Ike could run shoulder to shoulder with her brother now, but the disintegrating ice bridge certainly wouldn’t allow them very far into the ocean. It wasn’t going to get back past them at least, so surely they did their due diligence.
