Malakai felt their speed increase, the deer's panic and fear fueling their flight. He knew he needed to stop holding back, for he could sense that they were only in the omega stage of their magical abilities.
The deer's powers were still growing, and if he didn't act soon, they would reach their full potential and become even more elusive prey.
As he glanced back at Amari, he knew that once he unleashed his full speed, she would be left behind.
Her eyes met his, and she seemed to understand what was about to happen. Malakai barked, a sharp, piercing sound that cut through the air, and Amari nodded, her tail twitching in anticipation.
With a burst of energy, Malakai increased his speed, his legs propelling him forward like a shot. The forest floor blurred beneath his paws, the trees becoming a green and brown streak as he gained velocity. The wind rushed past his face, whipping his fur back and forth, and his ears flattened against his skull.
