Every sense used to the limit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He reached a safe range, hidden behind thick roots and brush.

The moment he attacked he was already moving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a blur, he reached the staggering wolf and drove Reditha deep into its throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"GRRAAA—!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The beast thrashed wildly.
