The sharp sound was heard once again,
But this time closer than before,
“Stay still and silent”, ordered Zerleg
Od flew down and hid in a tree,
Ji Hui tried hard to stay frozen,
But couldn’t stop his wobbling knees,
He heard the crunch of a beast’s paw,
And it’s steady rumbling breath,
Ji Hui waited for it to pounce,
To give him a quick gruesome death,
“Everyone quickly go!” Od shrieked,
Ji Hui ran at maximum speed,
He saw Zerleg galloping too,
They needed to escape the beast,
Ji Hui sprinted up the mountain,
The scared foal then quickly glanced back,
And saw a vicious snow leopard,
Following quickly in Ji Hui’s tracks.
It’s eyes were mean and ice cold blue,
It’s face in a scrunched up frown,
Then suddenly high up above,
Was Od the eagle swooping down.
But the leopard was now closer,
There was not any time to waste,
Or Ji Hui’s life might end right here,
In the snow leopard’s eyes of hate,
Od’s sharp black talons facing up,
Her bright eyes were fixed on her prey
Her large wings were outstretched and wide,
And she came in with no delay.
Her talons clawed into the leopard,
The white monster fell to the ground,
They fought and slashed and battled,
Then Zerleg came speeding around
“Enough!” the big musk ox shouted,
