Most of the pack passed by the gently dancing wisps without a second look. Not only would they not provide food, but their logical minds knew the dangers behind them.

Rhazii had fallen slightly behind. Between getting used to his new body and navigating the rough terrain, his movement was not as fluid as the others. He didn't mind -- the sheer power that he felt in his limbs as he hoisted himself up cliffs and jumped over rocks was exhilarating. When he saw the wisps, he slid to a halt and stared at them, ears perked. He did not notice when the others went ahead. He wanted to play with the creatures, or at least hunt them for fun.

He crouched low to the ground on all fours and approached the wisps as quietly as he could. When the time was right, he jumped at the nearest one and tried to snap his teeth around it. The wisp was not caught as it fluttered away with a burst of speed. Rhazii jumped again and still the wisps retreated, just out of his reach.

Meesei have been keeping track of Rhazii from behind, but Fendros did not notice that he had wandered until a few moments after he was out of sight. He stopped, turned around, and sniffed at the air. He caught Ahnasha's eye and began to backtrack.
