Blackfoot Forest The foes of the righteous will be damned

Thank you for the thread! This will be Pally's last unless you guys want another!

It was a challenge then. Haughtily the old wolf stepped forward, sweeping Liri with her decisive gaze. Liri's contemptuous words were met only with a knowing smile. There was not much time to devise a plan, for as soon as Liri had stopped her (albeit inspiring) speech she rushed Pallas. With great effort Pallas tried to side-step and get out of Liri's range, but she overestimated both her energy reserves and her step. Liri was far better fed than she, and as such, stronger: with a sickening feeling to her chest Pallas felt the crunch of teeth around her neck -- the end. The fight had finished as soon as it began.

With a snarl Pallas threw her shoulder upward, attempting to jam Liri's jaws in an escape attempt. She was not stupid enough to issue a retaliation -- it was clear from the brief scuffle her exhaustion was too great and had cost her great sacrifice in the end. With a quick flick of her tail and a cold, somewhat resentful glare Pallas slunk off. Liri would keep her rank and title -- for now.
