Over the River and Through the Woods

Kione had fallen far behind at the beginning but he had gained a lot of ground after that first obstacle.  The painted wolf wasn’t the sort to carefully plan his path but just blaze ahead and trust his ability to react in time to surprises.  

There was no pause to choose between the larger boulders versus the safe little ‘islands’.  Kione hopped about a couple of safe pockets in the trail before leaping onto a boulder.  A back paw slipped at one point but the balance was easily regained and he continued on.  He was gambling with pure speed to make up lost time.

With the slippery rocks behind Kione continued forward, watching those ahead of him, demanding his muscles to work to catch up and get past them.
