WC:: 5+ OOC:: Epic Battle Commencing!

A warm feeling of acceptance rippled through the woman’s body and it was just from the impact of the bull’s hooves, no it was the prideful howl of Augustus that filled her up with jubilation and quickened the pace of her racing heart. Her quick thinking had paid off as it had obviously impressed her better. A smug smile began to form on her black lips as she continued to run along their quarry, easily adjusting to the change of direction the behemoth forced on the bull with a shove of his shoulder. This was going better than she could’ve imagined, at least for now. Another strong shove from the Epsilon forced the moose to consider the damage that had been done, and Palaydrin dug her large paws and claws into the dirt as the massive beast began to tire from the relentless hunters. She leapt forward in tandem with Augustus and was able to sink her fangs into the thick neck flesh of the beast. More skin than vital muscle here, but she hung on momentarily and spat out a chunk of fur and skin as the bull abruptly came to a halt.

The forest king was not ready to give up without a fight. Already deeply wounded and bleeding from multiple areas,the bull was relying on pure adrenaline now and with two snapping fangs at either side of him goading the large undulate on, but from the look in his eyes, it was apparent he had plenty of juice left to burn. Drin was impressed with this prey’s tenacity and fervor to survive. He was proving to be a mighty opponent and a kill she would be proud of, but first there was that matter of killing. She watched in amazement as the ungulate lowered its crown of prongs, its burning eyes fixed on Augustus. She was even more amazed as her pack brother took an equally impressive stance of defiance in return. This was her moment, another opportunity to catch the bull unawares as all his rage was focused on the white wolf who wore his crimson blood proudly on his muzzle.

Ignoring the throbbing pain that was beginning to scream in her side, the golden fae strafed slowly in the bull’s peripheral vision, causing him to decide who posed more of a threat at the moment, and that seemed to be taken up by Augustus. Her lips were peeled back to reveal her own pink tinged fangs, but she kept the growing snarls at bay, not wanting the bull’s attention to switch to her once she got in reach of his antlers. Her lower half was hunched towards the ground, cautiously skirting the floor as she moved into a blind spot behind the beast’s shoulder. If timed right, her attack would catch the bull unawares and cause him to toss his head towards her side, exposing his neck again to her packmate and sealing his fate.

She let out the breath she had been holding in, if this went wrong, she’d get more than a few bruises and worse. It’s now or never, she thought to herself before she raced forward, kicking off the loamy floor and letting that building snarl rip before her mouth filled with blood.
