356 Words
Just when it seemed like all was lost, Elara had an idea. She remembered something Orion, the pack's elder, had told her about an ancient ritual that could turn the tide of battle.
"Elara, what are you doing?" Thane growled, as she broke away from the fight.
"Trust me," she said, her eyes locked on his.
Elara ran to the center of the village, the Shadowfang pack closing in around her. She raised her paws, and a burst of energy shot out, connecting with the Moonstone pack.
