MOOSE!

They run the young moose away from the water. It is spooked and strikes out with its hooves at the earthen girl but she easily avoids the attack and settles into a comfortable pace at its back hip. The gray male bites at the moose and it strikes out again, forcing Terra to give its back end a little more room. Thankfully, it settles back into a normal stride and the earthen girl begins to count steps.

On the fifth time its hooves hit the ground, she rushes back in, grabbing at the back leg she has been avoiding. With a snarl, teeth latch onto the long limb and, with a jerk and a twist, Terra feels the bone give and the young moose cries in pain. The mighty beast is brought low and she moves forward to pin the dangerous, flailing legs while waiting for the gray male to end the creature’s life.
