Blackbeak Bluff brinelick

lol okay. also i like how she doesn't let go of her precious, also like gollum

the hapless and bony beast attempted to course for the land that lay like moses' promised land, just out of reach. shardul chose this moment to break into a loping gallop, one that grew faster with each ticking second -- he aimed his collision for the straining flank, the whites of her rolling eye looming larger before his vision. muzzle twisted into a hideous snarl -- his barrel chest swelled with the roughening of his breath. though he all but matched the wolf now, step for step, it was an acceleration that the cat could not maintain for long.

as he felt himself fall away from her lunging shadow, shardul propelled himself forth with one last surge of strength and swung a blow toward the mangy hip. more likely than not would the swipe of his claws glance from the bone there, wounding her flesh but with no lasting damage -- if she fell he would be upon her, however, and there would be no escaping his wrath then.

she staggered as blood blossomed in gruesome flowers along her flank, but she did not lose her feet, and sped off down the sands, leaving behind her a crimson trail. shardul drew up heavily, tongue lolling as he panted, and presently he screeched his rage after her retreating form, angered by the loss.
