The time has come!(Xenios)

Ulrike stood there and watched his daughter begin to dodge the rocks. Her movement was smooth, and very good for her first try. He glanced down at her to see she was dodging most of the rocks, but a few tiny ones were hitting her paws, and legs. That was to be expected, all over she kept her stance, and moved in flowing motions. Ulrike's eye caught a larger rock coming towards his daughter."She is moving to late." He said to himself. His eyes caught the sight of his daughter get knocked over by the rock, and slid off the platform. Ulrike took off in a full sprint. The decline of the mountain and rocks were not that big of a challenge for him. His muscles rippled under his pelt.

He came to a sliding halt in front of his daughter who was hanging on to the platform. His jaws opened up wide as he leaned down, and clamped his jaws on the scruff of her neck. He slid his legs to give him some more balance, then he pulled with all his streangth. You could see the muscles under his skin bulge out a bit. "Xenios, climb!" He shouted at her, still holding on her scruff. With one big yank he stepped back, and Xenios was being pulled up onto the platform. Once she was at a good spot to finish getting her self up. His black eyes looked at his daughter, He was pleased with her performance, but she could have some improvement.

His tail swayed gently as he looked at his daughter."Xenios, that was good for you first try. Your stance was indeed well also. There is one thing, it looked like you were getting tired, and that most likely interfered with your depth perception. So we are going to have a run, To strengthen your stamina."He said as he nudged her daughter to walk down to the bottom of the mountain. "we will walk to the other side of that mountain over there, and then we will sprint all the way to the other side of the mountain we are on." He said as he continued to walk to the other side of the mountain in front of him.
