here goes nothing

Strai felt frozen as he watched the scene unfold before him. He felt his eyes widen, and his nostrils flare. Spider spooked, the deer spooked, and Strai was too damn slow to do anything about it. 


As he watched the deer fall, he felt his stomach tie into knots. He knew at that moment exactly how Bylgja had felt. He skidded to a stop next to the reindeer and Spider, the small pup already beneath the collapsed deer. The animal was screaming in pain and flailing dangerously. It would be all too easy for it to kick Spiders brains out in its panicked state. He leaped onto the side of the deer, running to the head. He bit it's neck, spraying blood across himself and Spider's top half. The deer screamed once more, and fell still. Leaving Spider beneath its impressive weight. "Spider! Spider! Tell me you're okay!" He snarled, jumping off the deer and landing beside Spiders head.
