swarm like smoke in the dawn

The cow he had struck let out a scream of pain as they galloped past and as quickly as they could turned themselves back around to pursue it. Vaguely he knew that Ralla and Lili were assisting Ember with one elk while Moonfyre went after the last one on his own. The Kanati hoped that the other man would be careful, it was dangerous to go after one of the animals on one's own in their feral form, but the dark male was an adult and knew how to handle himself. It wasn't his job to babysit the others on the hunt, only to help lead them.

The elk, despite her labored breathing and the arrow sticking out of her neck, had still made some good distance on them and Iye labored to catch up. Some unexpected help arrived as Ember and her horse cut off the cow's path. She balked, stunned at the sudden intrusion, and Nayati took his window of opportunity. The man drew his hunting knife and came upon the cow quickly, cutting across her throat and opening that most vital of arteries. He felt the spray of blood and soon the elk had crumpled to the ground, her lifeblood staining the ground.

Nayati's pale gaze looked around to see Moonfyre doggedly hanging onto the last elk by the neck as it tried its best to shake the predator off. The Kanati drew another arrow and sighted it quickly. It released with an audible whoosh and struck the lower half of one of the last cow's legs, hoping to help Moonfyre drop it to the forest floor.
