Dragoncrest Cliffs "With it or on it."

When other shows up, the brute lets go of her shoulder and starts snapping on anyone else he can reach. She doesn’t fully register all who is there until she sees a blur of red rush in, throwing herself into the fray. Everyone else is a blur as she fights back the pain and moves quickly on her feet, recovering from the attack.

There’s another wolf into the mix she does not recognize, dark in color that she hardly can make out, but it elicits a response from the trespasser as he tries to knock her out of the way. Still, he demands something of them despite being outnumbered. Is the other wolf a sign there is more?

A broken howl calls in the distance from Heda but she does not have the knee jerk reaction to respond, and mostly ignores it, focused solely on the stranger at hand. She can’t focus on something else being wrong until they’ve dealt with this, not wishing to create bigger problems and leading the enemy further into their home.

Mallaidh doesn’t have time to figure it out as he launches for Ephraim (her newfound brother?). With swift feet, close enough to interfere, she snarls and lunges, aiming to cut the brute off before he reaches Ephraim, teeth aiming for soft underside of his throat.
