Nocturne Summit BWP3: PREY OPPORTUNITY

I wasn't planning a whump when I started writing this, but it just kind of happened! I'll work out his injuries in my next post. :)

It was hard to stay focused; Floki's gaze was trained on the scene unfolding before him as he ran, watching as Peregrine slammed into one ram and sent it sprawling. The Wildfire lookalike went to him, and -- deciding he wanted to keep his distance, although it was not likely that either of them would recognize him with everything else that was going on -- he altered his course to move towards the fallen goat.

Ahead of him, Charon was clipped by the animal's sharp hoof. Floki dodged its body, but when he realized that it was dangerously close to rolling away and down the slope, he lunged after it. He seized its back leg, pulling his haunches beneath him in an attempt to stop it, but its forward momentum was too much. He was dragged over the ledge with the ram.

He released his hold on its limb and felt himself falling, suspended in midair for a split second before his body hit the rocks. He tumbled head over tail, trying desperately to remember Dash's advice for a safe fall but failing miserably. The wet terrain made it nearly impossible for him to regain any control or balance, so he went limp and let the mountain do its damage.
