Arkain hears Marcus tell him about his gift. He practically glows with pride especially when he sees our reflection in the water. He sends warm loving thoughts through  our body to show how much he appreciates the gift. "I understand. Thank you my friend and lover. I too will have a gift for you, too. When you reform, I will give you some of my healing magic in case you ever get injured. Since you are giving some of you to me, I can now give some of me with you. I am going to give you my arm and leg muscles so now you don't have to rely on solely wind currents when you are in this form."<br/><br/>Arkain is glad that the space between the trees is just right. He pulls in their wings so they can gracefully glide weaving and spinning their way through the trees just enough so they can use the strength of their legs to push off trees to propel them through winding rows of trees with uncanny ease, especially for someone their size.<br/><br/>He can tell you used our hunting instincts to separate all the scents in the forest and pick up the scent of our prey. He can feel his stomach growl nosily.  It's time real in their prey.<br/><br/>Their sharp eyes pick up Zearo's trail then their sharp eyes pick up the rustles of a bush. Arkain can see him hiding behind the bush. He gives a hungry grin. "Nooop. Not ever a chance. You know I think it's time to get dinner."<br/><br/>He can feel his heart start to race and his mouth start to water. The rush of the pred going for his meal. He decides to have a little fun. He bounds off a tree hard pushing upward. He extends his wings and pumps hard going straight up into the air. When he thinks he's high enough he rolls to the side and tucks in their wings and spins into a barrel roll. He straightens their body out. Their eyes lock in on their meal. He keeps their wings tucked in diving even faster towards helpless their prey. He lets out a mighty roar that would make any prey quake with fear. He swoops straight down through the trees extending his legs and opening his claws. He has his eyes focused on Zearo. He times his grab of Zearo's shoulders perfectly lifting him abruptly off the ground. He extends their wings pumping hard he uses his momentum to fly up almost vertical through the trees. He lets out a triumphant roar of success when he burst through the tops of the trees. "I can't believe I just did that. What a rush."<br/><br/>He levels out holding Zearo securely by the shoulders. "Where would you like to land Marcus to enjoy our meal? Your choice."
