In his struggle to be free from Alder’s grip Cypress was unaware of the ground as it rushed up to greet them and he landed heavily on his back. His breath was forced from his lungs and he gasped and gaped as he tried to reclaim it. Still Alder held him, pinning him to the ground he felt the weight of his brother on top of him. Holding him down and keeping him immobile despite his struggles. He gave one last great attempt to free himself, muscles straining to free limbs from the hold of his brother’s large paws but he was overpowered.
There was surprise in the depths of his blue eyes as he looked up at his brother with wide eyes. He had been defeated and overpowered. Alder was the victor and it was crushing blow to what remained of his ego that had seemed to grow far more fragile as, little by little, he was slowly being striped of his childhood arrogance. He turned his gaze away from his brother and with a huff of exhaled air, Cypress admitted his defeat. Stopping his struggles he went limp, tail curling along the lighter hues of his exposed belly.
He was nothing but a failure.
