Duskfire Glacier With a little bit of luck

Thank you! :D Stevie did a beautiful job on it <3
Imagine if the whole pack got involved - those poor birds! xD

Malachi let his attention return to the golden woman, whom he quickly paired with a name: Danica. That was all he had time to think: in an instant she became a golden smear, and Malachi lost her in the swell of birds. Startled by the suddenness of her attack, he lingered a moment before plunging toward the fray himself. At first his legs felt stiff beneath him, but he felt them loosen as he sprinted at the birds Danica pressed his way. Whipping wings met him, the movement of birds beating frantically at the space around them in a startled attempt to change course. Their black bodies blocked the sun as took light, some flying left, some flying right, some flying up, and others just turning in stunned and flustered circles as if unable to process the double attack.

Malachi moved in a curving motion around the birds. Unlike his packmate, the thought of catching one was the last thing on his mind. He took pleasure in the speed of the chase, and he focused his attention on starling the more sluggish ones to action. But soon those birds lighted too and the sky cleared as the stragglers settled themselves in safer pasture further down the field.

Malachi slowed to a stop, tongue lolling and adrenaline tingling his nerves. He watched the last bird settle among its comrades and, despite the quivering in his legs, Malachi itched to give chase again. He felt energized by the run, and he turned to search out his golden companion, hoping she'd be up for another go. He spotted her golden form easily, now that the birds had dispersed, and he moved toward her at a brisk trot. His eyes settled on her briefly before falling to the avian dangling from her jaws. His brows raised as he drew nearer. He hadn't even thought of using the chase as a hunt, and he felt a twinge of embarrassment that he'd returned from the ambush empty pawed. But he grinned nonetheless, flicked his gaze back to Danica, and let the sheepishness fall from his face. "Bet they're even faster now that they're warmed up."
