Teme Lupus is by Alaine!

Once he'd reached the trees, his focus on Eclipse dimmed. There was an injured Elk just a few yards in front of and down from him that needed to be killed. The rough bark beneath his paws was a comforting texture, one he was as familiar with as the muddy ground on which he'd walked for a good portion of his life so far. As it was, he was moving at a speed just below that of the Elk and he knew that he was going to have to make his move. Unfortunately, the doe wasn't moving in a straight line- the injury and the knowledge that she was being hunted had sent her into a panic that caused a mad dash through the woods.

Powerful hind legs pushed him from one tree to the next and he began to get glimpses of his brown cousin. She was below, following as fast as she could. He noticed that she no longer held her bow and wondered where she'd put it. His attention wasn't held long and it was within a few seconds that his decision had been made. The upcoming thicket of trees was dense, which would be advantageous to their hunt. He could still move relatively easily through the trees, but the doe would be slowed by the limited space.

With a single huff of air, Temeraire sprang from the tree, arms outstretched as he descended from his height. The doe had no idea that her killer would come from above and the shock and momentum of both of their bodies could not remain upright. They tumbled- his claws dug into the animals shoulders while they hit the ground, the breath leaving him in a whoosh. He needed Eclipse to move in now, to make some kind of killing blow, because while he'd managed to manouver himself into a position to easily pin the doe, he couldn't reach the neck to kill her.
