Redtail Rise V

Ashlar watched, absolutely rapt, as Augur leapt for the elk. Even though he had failed in the strike, he could barely believe the wolf would test such kingly prey on his own. Between the antlers and the hooves, what if he was caught?

His eyes widened as the silent wolf fell and he sprang forward into a sprint, tearing through the snow towards the wolf and the elk. He wasn't sure what he thought he would achieve... his aim was not to catch the creature's throat. Instead he wished to ensure that his friend was not trampled beneath its hooves or lashed upon its antlers. He let out a snarling bark as he pressed forward, fur standing out against his smaller frame.
