Role Play Example:

Koda's entire body was tensed and ready for the attack on the caribou that he had picked out for himself. The moment was nearly right and the rest of his pack was spread out, prepared to take down their own intended quarry. The wind was starting to pick up and they would have to make their move soon, before their prey spooked. Just as he was about to give the signal to attack a loud crack of thunder broke the silence followed quickly by two more.

The wind howled and threw leaves and small limbs about, causing the herd to grow unruly. Another boom of thunder instantly followed an enormous bolt of lightning that struck nearly in the center of the sea of caribou. The herd split in two and stampeded in opposite directions. Koda jumped with the nearness of the strike and his skin crawled while his creamy fur stood on end. In the next instant he was running for his life, before a wave of thundering hooves.

His heart pounded and his feet flew. If he was caught, he'd be trampled into the ground in an instant. He dodged a few lone trees, gaining some ground, but he knew he wouldn't be able to keep up this pace much longer. He saw a huge tree that had fallen on it's side and headed for it as if his life depended on it, which it did. When he reached it he leaped to the other side then tucked his large body as close to it and the ground as he could, his breath coming in short pants. Hundreds of pounding legs split around the log, many of them jumping it, causing his soft fur to move with the breeze that they created. They made their own kind of thunder as some hooves landed mere inches from his lupine body. A few of those that jumped hit the log and moved the great tree, but it held and kept him safe.

After what seemed like hours, Koda stood on shaky paws to observe the decimated land that had been destroyed by the fleeing herd. What caused his heart to stop in his chest was the sight of orange flames licking across the plains, faster with every bit of dried grass and underbrush that it fed on. Instinctive terror filled him and he quickly looked for his pack, but there were no wolves to be seen. He'd have to worry about them later. With one last terrified look at the ravenous flames he turned from them and was running for his life, once again...
