Day 032.1: Chase
Athvor was not in the air more than ten minutes when he saw a strong movement under the trees. He was flying low, so he was not surprised to see numerous creatures running for their lives. He needed to choose from there creatures. He needed one that was big enough to satisfy himself and his new companions. They were all hungry.
Towards the north was a very large movement through the atmosphere. The creature was either very large or moving extremely fast. In either case, Athvor was going to chase it down and snatch it for dinner.
He folded his wings once again and pointed himself for a small opening in the trees. There was not a lot of room for him to move around down there. He would have to get down there quickly and as close the creature as her could before he actually made contact with the ground.
Once through the top limbs of the forest, he made slight course adjustments by extending his wings ever so slightly. He could not leave them extended for too long. The trees were so close together that he would have clipped them and crash landed… becoming immobile. He had done this kind of thing before and didn’t always walk away from it. There had been a time or two where he had to heal where he laid. He did weight more than 6 tons. It would have taken an army to move him.
