Mount Apikuni Dangervisit

wearily drags self in from the longest 2 weeks of her life...

Hot breath pillowed betwixt Tuwawi's pointed enamels while she studied her assailant's bulky figure as it catapulted into a juggernaut approach. Yet, even with this display, the creek soldier did not balk. No worldly force could make her step aside and give up what, in her opinion, she rightfully owned... especially to this particular aggressor; unaware that Njal had followed Xi'Nuata in an effort to bring peace between the groups. The Vale seemed to a perpetual thorn, not wanting to be removed, and it further fueled the red woman's discord.

Her muscles tensed as the sandy woman drew nearer, anticipating her first attack. Their styles would undoubtedly be different; their bodies nearly opposite in build. Tuwawi would never be able to go for the obvious strike... after all, a smaller wolf never fell its larger quarry by buffering it off balance or biting the shoulder or hind. No — if one aimed to bring down a beast then quick strikes were necessary. Endure it. Cut it. Bleed it out. She would do exactly that, all the while trying to evade the strong limbs of her opponent, lest be smothered beneath a mountainous weight.

When Xi'Nuata hesitated, it provided the perfect opportunity for the Sveijarn to shrink away, like a flickering wick of flame. Not even a prize of red hair would be rewarded to the Vale wolf as her jaws closed upon air with an unsatisfying, empty click of her teeth. At that moment, the scarlet adversary burst forward with a speed enviable by any creature, prepared to parry and give to Xi'Nuata what she so hotly desired, and deserved. A guttural snarl resounded as she lurched back into the fray, biting fangs aimed to shear the supple leather of her nose to ribbons. Hit a sensitive spot. Choke her with her own blood. Tuwawi was a wildling unchained as she launched her counter strike, tendons trained by trying times, cardinal colored hair swept in ever direction. However one thing was for certain; she would not remain in one place for long.
