hello

Spider was quick to jump into game mode. This kid was wild and strange to Strai. So energetic and excitable, quick to fight, and quicker to play. Strange. But he had made a deal, and he had lost. He had to pay up. When Spider raced off into the woods, Strai shot out after them.

He wasn’t familiar with the terrain, not like it was home. But he had evaded a bear through them only the day before. It gave him some idea of the lay of the land. When Spider shot through an opening in a dense layer of undergrowth, Strai knew the path would take them right. So he moved that way, going around the undergrowth, through the trees, and there was Spider. He was grinning now, the thrill of the chase catching up with him. He leaned forward and swatted at Spider’s back leg. “It!” He yelled as he veered off course.
