Thundering hooves echoed through the woods. This was not a small force, he realized with a growing fury, but one trained and experienced. Ezekiel had little time to focus on the elsewhere; calls echoed his own, and he knew that more would come. Viggo was hot-blooded with fury, feeding off of the rage that poured from every inch of Ezekiel’s being. His fur bristled in a black tipped flame, and he prepared an arrow in a rush.
A she-wolf was charging towards him, her own bow aimed for his heart. Her pelt was shades of gray that gleamed red in the dawn’s light, wearing some sort of leather armor. What he noticed beyond this—beyond even the arrow—was the cross bouncing against her chest. This filled him with an even darker fury. How dare they come to his home and wear the sign of his God. How dare they.
The Aquila and the she-wolf shot almost in unison. His arrow struck her high in the shoulder, but this cost him—he felt something strike his side, grazing it and drawing blood. He veered to the side, and Viggo charged past the female. She turned her own stallion sharply, and wretched the arrow from her arm. Ezekiel fired a second shot and grazed her face. He was rewarded with an arrow striking him deep in the thigh, and he let out a snarl of pain before charging her directly.
