The elk, scared beyond comprehension, did nothing for a moment. Then, as he drew nearer, the cow let out a terrified bleat and scrambled beneath the elk’s weight. She was able to wriggle free and, less winded by their union, shot off into the bushes.
The bull stumbled, seeing as the bride he’d been supporting himself atop of suddenly wriggled free, and there were a pair of predators with sharp, glinting teeth headed his way.
It bought Sfikas time. His instincts saw the massive rack of his antlers and screamed at him to stop, but he knew better. Sfikas knew when to charge, and now was a prime opportunity to set himself up for the rest of the winter. He could see, upon drawing nearer, a few gashes—some rather sickly looking—along his flank. Competition for a mate, perhaps, or a run-in with another predator?
The elk started running at the last minute. Sfikas had not cared to check if the stranger was chasing after it, too, but he thought he heard footsteps.
Taking down a large bull like this would be one hell of an accomplishment. With it being winded from mating and possibly weakened by recent events, Sfikas thought he had a pretty good chance, too.
