He was not one to judge based on size but it was the spirit that counted. Were they willing to push themselves to the breaking point? Were they willing to give up their life? Were they capable of accepting defeat? All these points played into a warrior's life, especially if they lacked the physical strength of their opponent. Tanja could tell the female before him now had what it took to defeat him and force him into submission, but he wondered if she was capable of such a thing as she was now. 

He felt the pain as her fangs scraped along his flank but did not go deep enough to cause any serious injury. A simply scratch was not enough to bring him down and while his paws itched to launch an attack, Tanja held himself back until she showed any sign of fatigue. Then and only then would he attack with all his might. Just as he had hoped the inexperienced girl kept attacking, playing right into the jaws of Tanja. He waited until exhaustion caught up with her and then struck her down with a few blows. 

He left her there after she finally realized her mistake of disrupting him and made no move to harm her any further. He did not wish to cause any trouble for Drageda and killing her would do no go. Satisfied with his accomplishment the kru left behind the forest and began his journey back to the dragon, eager to get back to patrolling and resuming his respective duties.
