Eris is by Kiri, a gift from Sylvey!
The blood was an alembic to her anger, serving to both intensify her desire to triumph as well as draw off some of that sheer madness that had overtaken her at first. Eris was a creature of calculation, first and foremost, and though she'd lost herself a moment, her sense of self was steadily returning, and she was cognizant of the struggle here: life or death. Their lack of skill with this bloodsport did not make it any less dangerous, and however clumsily they danced the wild motions of blood dancing, it was no less perilous.
The dark-furred hybrid, however, felt her advantage building as the other woman's teeth left her, her own singing into the thick fur and flesh of her neck. Eris found her hold loose and her jaws soon left their hold with the pale woman's thrashing. She pushed forward again, snapping at the woman's legs and crawling forward on all fours still, though she reached forward now and again to swipe with a large hand-paw, sharp claws raking the other canine where she could.
Eris could not tell if she was gaining or losing ground anymore, and that brief semblance of sanity began to ebb again as the scent of blood drove fear into her alongside outrage and plain old rage. A burst of growling erupted from her smoke-furred muzzle, and her eyes were narrowed slits of blazing chartreuse.
