While attempting to keep her gaze on the pair below, she maintained her climbing pace. Breathing deeply as she ascended then exhaling slowly as she bound from one treacherous ledge to another. There was no other path more natural to her than the mountains, and it showed with the care she took in her climb. And the height only served to further excite her senses, as if the thrill of the chase was not enough to set her blood on fire.
Her jaws parted as she breathed, a shallow hiss flowing free as she began her swift descent. As she had hoped Raheerah was leading the female right where they needed her, and it was time then for the Vale female to show what she knew of the mountain.
Her timing had to be quick lest their efforts be for nothing. Guided by righteous fury, she hurried in her descent from the rocky faces leaving gaps in stride as she bound from one protrusion to another. She was ahead of them, but only by a wolf's length, though she did not falter once the moment revealed itself as a lone standing stone. Xi'nuata lept for its top then quickly turned half at an angle, half around facing the thief. Her lips peeled back as the roar rumbled from her chest, as she pushed with all her strength from the higher mark toward the female. Her intention was to slam into her shoulder if not take her by the neck, the force knocking her off course and into her companion's awaiting jaws. |
