Spike could smell the build up of power, so intense that it saturated his mouth and he could swallow its intoxicating taste. He could see the tall man’s shoulders bunch in preparation. He could hear the man’s heartbeat increase, but his breaths actually slowed. Here was one who had been in battles.
Here was a tasty treat.
The wizard stood there waiting.
Spike wasn’t the patient sort and he doubted that the wizard was patient either.
He was waiting to strike.

Strike!
