Like Clockwork

Eltrys pushed the herd forward with Taiga. His dark paws hit the earth with an easy rhythm. He was trailing a few bounds behind her, when a few of the antelope were veering away. He pushed his paws to go faster to head them off and back into the funnel toward the trap. He lost one as it bounced beyond his reach, nearly giving a few others a false hope to follow it. The Ranger was close enough to nip at the heels of those who dared to break formation.

He fell back behind the herd once more as the funnaling started to do its work. He headed off any that though to back track was a good idea and urged them forward again.

He saw the head of the first victim disappear into the ground over the pit! Would any more follow?
