Northstar Vale take control

His aim landed true, and the charcoal beast held firm his grip as hard as he could, intending to draw blood; he saw the intruder fall and land on her side, and briefly he missed the root that had finally left her jaws. Only when he released her leg and adjusted himself to step over the woman did he see the root. He redirected himself, if only for a moment, to swipe at the root and flick it out of her reach. Still, the minor diversion of ensuring the woman could not retake the root ate up enough seconds to allow the woman to spit a curse at him. The dragon swung his head at her, wide jaws prepared to tear the skin from her face before a body had collided with his.

Raheerah grunted, snapping his teeth together as the body knocked him off balance. An obsidian creature stood between him and the intruder, even after Xi'nuata shoved against him. The dragon immediately righted his position and stood next to his companion, scarlet gaze blazing with fury. His lips were curled back into a wild and wicked grin, though there was no amusement behind it - only frenzied hunger, teeth outlined with glistening saliva. Xi'nuata slowly moved towards them, but Raheerah didn't have the patience to wait for their explanation. "Therre is no neeed." He snapped, flicking his gaze to her briefly then back to the creek wolves. "Thiiss one iss arrogannt enoouugh to steeeal from the Vaale. She muust paayy for herr crimess." Raheerah hissed and allowed a few more steps to take him to Xi'nuata's side again. He turned his sights to Haunter, but the crazed expression of the wicked male did not change. "Ruunnn. Shhee sufferrs the consequeencesss aloone."

Raheerah was willing to let the male leave in one piece. He had done no wrong, only stepping across the boundaries to protect his fool packmate. The beast could honor that. "Lesst I driive myy teeeth into yoouur neck as weeell." He added with a hungry snap of his bared teeth and a twitch of his lips - he could honor the male's heroism, yes, but he would not honor any form of disobedience on his territory. If this man chose to stay, then he too would be subject to punishment for the white woman's crimes.
