swarm like smoke in the dawn

The elk that Ralla had been harrying dropped to the green grass, staining it red. She was exhilerated by teh rush of power she felt--a strength that had never been hers to hold--as the world around her spun, urging her to keep in motion constantly without pause. Her forest green eyes--pupils slit with the rising of her feral instincts--caught sight of the white streak of fur that was Moonfyre as he jumped and took hold of yet another elk's throat. Her blood urged her forward, but her mind kept her where she stood over the carcass of the cow elk.

The others of their hunting party were stronger--more experienced--than Ralla. Their prowess was greater, and she felt that constant nagging that she would only get in their way. She stood--some blood from the elk marring her white fur--as she howled her special howl for Sugar to come from his place in the trees. The quarter unicorn galloped down the slope to meet her as she motioned for him to guard their kill with her against scavengers while she watched the events play out.

She was in awe of their quarry that she had the honor to be a part of. Everyone moved in sync as their bounty fell, and Moonfyre's endeavor was not without its own symphony. Nayati's arrow struck the elk in the leg, and Ralla felt her feet stagger forward once with the ache to aid them. But she corrected herself soon enough. Rushing in now would disturb their harmony and maybe even injure Moonfyre, whose body was dangerously close to the kicking and rearing hooves of the elk. She would only have to wait until their hunt was done so that one of her packmates could help her lift the large beast onto Sugar's back to curry back to the camp, the beast much too heavy for Ralla alone.

Their success made Ralla sure that much rejoycing would abound that night.

Moon walks. "Moon talks." Moon thinks.
