DACE
~
Like a snap of a twig, like a dam eruption, like a snap of my consciousness. I felt something weigh on me like a ton, I felt my chest being constricted by an unfamiliar feeling, I felt it being pulled by an invisible force. I no longer had control over my own body, my blood exploded within me, the hairs at the back of my neck stood up in alert, and dread found me as well as panic, the panic that filled my lungs and weakened me at the same time.
My body moved on its own accord like a puppet being driven toward something. My paws made the earth convulse with the very power I depleted as I blurred down the mountains, the trees quivered from it too, and the birds in fright of my monstrous speed soar away into the skies. My body roared at me, my senses on high alert and my mind blank with the pain, the ache from my very mark was overwhelming and consumed my brain too. It burned against my flesh and the much stronger urge to get home in time found me.
