Ankyra Sound she speaks with a voice that sets men trembling

wrapping this up with a conclusion.. i went based off of what thur & dio had in their posts since they were the last to post. ping me if this isn't a good conclusion but for continuity's sake and this being older it seemed a good point to archive.  

 the beast's mad dash for the firebrand was not done alone; the dark streaks of dog ran besides him, and reached her well before his claws could, for he was grievously wounded. at that moment he was headed off, tormented by two dogs at their leader's instruction -- belligerent, mad, and simply desperate, shardik charged towards them as if a bull, his head lowered like a ram's and his black, piggish eyes frantic with hate.

yet he hit nothing in his drunken charge, and as he whirled around in a slow limp, the felled dog had already been dragged off. he bellowed and lurched forward again, yet the flashing of teeth and the barking of the dogs drawing up the rear stayed him long enough that the dogs were able to pull blixen to safety, and therein, make their retreat.
