take off the training wheels

Let's decide to be the architects, the masters of our fate

While Noah wanted to stalk around the flock and take them by surprise at the very last minute, Henry flew off in a flurry. Noah's eyes widened in alarm, but he didn't give way from his stalking. In his gut, he knew he had the right plan. But, all he could do now was watch the eagle swoop in towards the turkeys. The flock was alerted quickly, and panicked. They scrambled this way and that, each gobbling out their frantic surprise. Henry's talons went for one of the larger of the birds, a tom, but the creature seemed to react too fast. While Henry did not grab hold of the bird's body, he did manage to grab in one talon tail feathers, and in the other about halfway down a wing.

Noah's frustration was a quick, pounding force out over the bond as he suddenly surged his own assault at another large tom. It tried to flee, but Noah in this form was too quick on the ground. Razor sharp claws extended from his paws as he leapt towards the bird, his body landing heavily on it's back and pushing it into the charred grass. It flailed it's wings and wiggled with as much ferocity as it could muster. the lynx struggled with the bird for a few minutes, the scuffle between the pair and the eagle and it's prey enough to send the rest of the flock away, running without thought towards the safety of trees. Finally, Noah got ahold of the bird's rubbery neck, biting down long enough to suffocate the turkey.

All the while, thunder rumbled in the distance near ceaselessly, lightning flashed, and the winds changed.

NOAH
