After her grave meeting with Spyridon, Caiaphas had similar thoughts -- and she was surprised to find his scent entwined with Nishu Inte's tracks. Affording a small smile of pleasure to see the dark male so dedicated, Caiaphas trailed behind -- meandering with the most sheathed of purposes.

Any guilt she felt for the potential harm that (may) would befall Nishu Inte disintegrated immediately when she saw him conversing freely with an outsider. Instant fury for her disciple's lack of inhibition clouded her mind, and like Spyridon she strode towards the duo vehemently, her own hackles flared in alarming disquiet. She came from the side, propelling towards him like a missile -- all teeth and claws -- and as she drew closer she threw herself into a terrific leap, aiming to slam Nishu Inte in the shoulder with her own momentum, and bring him down for his insubordinate actions. There was no remorse in her actions, only ire, and if she collided with the male her teeth would seek to vanquish any uprising with snarling snaps.

When she collided with Nishu, the rest of the world was forgotten. Feral, ferocious, and entirely imbued with bile, the wicked she-wolf was relentless in her tirade.

Rain would be dealt with separately -- and if it were not for the gravity of the situation Caiaphas would have turned to her and killed Rain for challenging her rule in her pack. Nishu Inte had betrayed the pack by revealing information about them -- but there was no time to explain his wrong doings and insubordinate behavior to the Sunspire wolf.

Eos and Spyridon flanked Rain quickly, and Caiaphas' rueful gaze fell on Rain with inordinate savagery. "σκοτώσει" She snarled between gasps, rounding upon the hulked Nishu Inte -- her blackened gums curled back and lethal yellow teeth exposed. He was low to the ground, which worked to Caiaphas' benefit -- lunging towards him, she sought to pin him by grappling his scruff with her teeth -- hopefully forcing him to the ground with this tackling maneuver.

Nishu Inte had the advantage of size, Caiaphas could give him that -- as her teeth found his scruff he kept going -- though not before imparting a wicked snap at her cheeks. Falling back (but trying her best not to let go of the silver furred male) Caiaphas was able to somewhat mitigate the blow -- but not before his teeth left wide scores of scrapes and blood across her dark muzzle. His attack stung with amazing clarity, and only seemed to further fuel her intensity.

He was much stronger than her -- she could slam on the brakes but it would only hinder, not stop, his progress. As he kept onwards like a bull moose in rut season, Caiaphas tried her best to trip him -- she would snake her head back in wrenching succession and one forepaw was shot forwards in the hopes of tripping him. If he fell, she would use this to her advantage and try to pin him -- if he kept going, she would keep slugging.

So enveloped was Caiaphas in her attempts to slow him down that she scarce saw Spyridon and Eos close in on Rain. Either way. the pale waif had no doubt they would soon dispose of the peddling, obnoxious female.

Nishu Inte plowed forwards, at once wrenching Caiaphas from her grip -- there was a fleeting snap as her jaws closed around air and her ears swiveled back in outrage. Without thinking she bolted forwards, her jaws wide as she tried to regain her grip on his scruff and once more attempt to hold him there.

But her attempts were frustrated as he swung his muzzle around, his teeth seeking with fierce intention her paws. A shriek of indignity erupted from her narrow muzzle and she retracted her paws to the best of her ability, her own teeth aiming to rake ruthlessly across his cheek and force his head down. Eos she had not seen -- but as Nishu closed the gap between them his teeth did indeed find purchase on the narrow slab of her foreleg -- leaving a most offensive welt in its wake.
