The time has come!(Xenios)

One paw after another struck the earth that rested below him, his massive frame carried its self across the ground. Ulrike's ears were pinned to his head listing to his daughter who was keeping up quite nicely. Ba-dum Ba-dum Ba-dum His heart beated. The steady beat it was, keeping your heart rate at a good level was the key to running long distance.His pace was smooth, and perfect for him to make it to the other side of the valley and up to the top of the second mountain.

As they came closer to the bottom of the first mountain, his ears laid back and picked up the sound of Xenios's speed increase. 'So you want to push your self, then let's push your self' a smile arose across Ulrike's face as he kicked up his pace. His legs moved from one to another, almost seemed like he was flying instead of running. Ulrike's heart was still at a good beat, but it did increase a little due to the quick burst of speed. He could hear his daughter right behind him, he was pleased with her, very pleased. She would grow up to become a strong warrior at this rate and he knew it.

As fast as the first mountain ended the next one was upon them. This was it the incline, he was not sure if his daughter would be able to keep up as she had been. Ulrike let out a deep breath and pushed of even faster with his hind legs, Up he assented, up into the tops of the mountain. "Come on Xenios show me what you got" He said as he ran up that mountain with little resistance. This was it dose she have what it takes to match my pace. Ulrike was ready to find out if his daughter got his speed.
