The Heartwood and i pray to god you dont come back here anymore

The first to be granted his wrath was the boy, Merrick, who decided to stand in his way. With every pound behind his charge, he aimed to level the boy and meet his snarl with a flurry of fangs to whatever would be attempted to block his attack. The traitor would be dealt with first, out of the way, dead or not it didn't matter to the Warlord. Being a part of the Nightwalkers did not mean he would go easy on any member who decided to block his path to something he desired at any moment - and for now, the boy would meet who the Warlord truly was. A ruthless, brutal and merciless beast. 

At his flank, the witch already made her own move and dug her fangs into his tender flesh. Something he would deal with later - the pain stung his core, fueled his rage and desire to rid himself of Merrick as soon as possible so he may finish the crusty hag as soon as his path was free. But he would not make her time easy back there, thrusting his knee he aimed to slam into her cheek by keeping his toes on the ground as to stop himself from being toppled over.

He would use his height and weight to his advantage in these two vs one fight as much as he possibly could. Defensively he tucked his tail between his legs, protecting his underbelly, jewels and somewhat the tail itself as it was less likely to be targetted. Bending his elbows and knees just enough to keep his center of gravity low.

It didn't matter how it looked - he would minimize the wounds he'd receive. His pride did not come at a cost of his victory or injuries.  

Quick recap to make fight understanding easier!! Vengeance attacks Merrick with intent to kill, attempting to trample him and biting anything Merrick chooses to defend himself with. Takes damage from Caiaphas at flank. He goes to knee her in the face, keeping his toes on the ground so he's not easily pushed over.
