Bramblepoint one in the chamber

While it wasn't the first time that Sphyra was in a serious for-real fight, it was the first time that it was with a wolf. She'd helped fight off several creatures from the pack's borders, and of course she had fought many times with her siblings, with Towhee, with Fennec — especially the latter had taught her much about real fights. She was merciless and the punishment of losing was usually a heavy dose of humbling embarrassment, so Sphyra always tried her very best.

It was all different now. He snapped forward but did not hit her, seeming to try and warn her away. Sphyra, however, was confident about her abilities into the arrogant, so it didn't stave her determination. A growl bubbled in her throat as she tried going around him to attack him from the back. If he'd turn towards her when she circled around, she would try to double back in a feint move to try and grab one of his front paws, to try and get his weight out from underneath him. If she managed to get to his back she would instead try to collapse on top of his back side to get him off balance that way.
