Wapun Meadow huir

Ameline conserved as much as she could of her strength, knowing that in the close quarters of the passage into the valley, the man would only have one direction to go. But when they flew out into the open, sending a flock of birds into flight, she knew they could lose him if they did not keep him wedged between themselves. 

She made a grab for his tail in an attempt to slow him down momentarily, but only a moment later he opened up his pace just as she had anticipated he might. 

It was now that she wished they had another member on their team; one to cut off his escape so that they could circle him and punish him for his trespass. 

The best she could do now was push herself into a gallop, and claim one hip as hers- so that he would not be able to veer to the right.
