Neverwinter Forest I dream of you all night and day

The other deer faded from awareness as their target lost its footing, slipping just enough for Vallkyrie to make up some ground and dive forward. She was able to pull the deer slightly downward. It slowed the doe further and Mal was up alongside, at about the time the deer wrenched out of Vallkyrie's grip -- opportunity!

That was Mal's chance, he launched himself forward, latching his jaws on to a higher section of the deer's long neck. From the decrease in speed, he'd been able to get a more secure bite than the ones he'd tried before. This time, he held strong, at least for now. He tried to throw on the brakes and yank the beast's head down towards the earth. That would stop it from running, certainly! Forward momentum shifted more to flailing in place, a wild hoof striking him in the shoulder. He grunted but held strong -- better a front hoof than a kick from the back ones.
