Never again would he question the value of the D'Angelo man - There could BE no questioning, not when the monolithic Secui form of his Arbiter charged to meet the beast that sought Sirius' death.
Larkspur seemed to have caught the bear by surprise - the Revlis' man's early attack meant that the coal male's location had remained hidden. The giant beast had focused all of his rage-fueled attention on the one attacker, not thinking that there might be two. This tactical move seemed to have paid off, along with Lark's impressive size. The bear's attention was now focused on this larger, more demanding challenger, leaving Sirius to inflict his own damage.
The Thistle King was quick, and driven. Diving beneath thrashing forepaws, sharp teeth sought the flesh of the creature's leg joints, succeeding in inflicting impressive damage there. He remained in Lupus form - Its smaller, leaner size gave the male an almost unmatchable speed, as Larkspur's Secui gave him unmatchable strength. However, the wound on his chest was bleeding profusely now as the heart pumped more heated blood through racing limbs, and all it took was a moment's hesitation for the bear's massive teeth to latch on to the King's handsome tail.
A terrible sensation of pain raced through the coywolf and a strange yelp issued from his maw. He was lifted bodily from the ground and shaken, like a furious child with a ragdoll. While Larkspur had kept the body of the bear at bay, there was nothing he could do to prevent those jaws from committing their disastrous intent.
The crushing, searing pain ended suddenly, and Sirius was thrown to the side. For the first time, the nimble, canny creature was not able to gain his feet - He landed heavily on his side, dangerously close to the edge of the jutting precipice. The wounded, blood-lusting bear spat something from its jaws - A mangled length of fur and flesh that on closer inspection would reveal itself to be a tail - Before turning all of its massive wrath onto the D'Angelo male.
