Of Moose and Men

The two were certainly a match for the moose despite their smaller size and younger minds. They still had a lot of learning and training but what better way was there to learn than this? Perhaps if the adults were around, they would have pushed the young ones away and they would have missed the opportunity. There was great risk of course, Ballad knew that. But there may have been a day he would be even without his brother and he'd have to find a way out of this.

He too took note of the moose losing steam, Kolt was much more in tune with moving it around, confusing it. Ballad kept his teeth on the back end. And in the end it was kicking up heels in a far off direction. They had done it yet again. Only this time they actually ran their challenge off. He could be proud of his brother, moreso than he was himself. He wasn't much of a spotlight kind of guy anyway.
