Redtail Rise LIII

blood star was quick and apt. he chased and she herded.

he barked once to her, to cut away for the shambling cow. mountain boulder dove into her place thereafter, falling back to harry the rest of the great animals away, cutting a wide swatch of space around the cow and the redtail hunter.

his chest heaved. his tongue lolled. he kept them at bay with heavy snaps of his jaws, pacing where needed.

and then he slowly joined blood star, though his focus was upon her protection while the cow's energies were truly sapped by a short flight.
