Ankyra Sound That purple touch

Permission to PP Xynos’ fight, sacrifice, and death has been given <3 Gonna go ahead and throw out the next post to get it movin ;)

The hellhound has been released from his chains and his teeth are searching and hungry for blood — for flesh! He wants to feel it split and tear from his powerful jaws. He wants the life to sink into the tastebuds on his tongue, he wants to savior it too. Would this be his first sacrifice to the the unnamed god and his precious shadow? He thinks so, hopefully he will appease them with a show.

Unknown to Nyra’s own searching gaze, sand kicks up when Alduin slams into the dark male. The one who denied the ritual, the one who wanted no part in it — insulting. Alduin wouldn’t kill him here, but he would fatally injure him and finish it when he’s before his shadow. 

So when their bodies collide, they go skidding and rolling through the sand. Taking Xynos by surprise Alduin feels as if he has the upper hand, but this man is bigger than him, possibly stronger too, but Alduin has trained and bled for moments like these. He will not disappoint.

Alduin ends up being the one with his back to the sand and the midnight wolf lashes out at him violently, snapping at his face and neck. He feels his face being slashed and bitten, a bloody nose, clacking teeth, a torn ear, and just when he’s about to go for Alduin’s neck the hellhound brings his hind leg into himself and kicks out with all his might. He shoots them right into his gut and uses his forearms to slash and hit at the other face and chest. A well timed snap at Xynos’ face allows Alduin his freedom. A massive canine tooth piercing perfectly into one of the other man’s eyes. Whether he howls in pain or suffers silently, Alduin would have enough time to slip out from under him.

This is when the real fighting starts. While both feel the adrenaline of the battle, they both bleed freely, painting the pale sand a deep red in the light of the moon. Alduin’s hackles are raised as he goes in for his next attack, aiming low for his legs. Xynos is agile, slipping out of his grasp many times, for Alduin’s slow and heavy, but it doesn’t stop him from waiting for the right opportunity.

Moving left, then juking right, Alduin gets a second of buffer to get his attack in and he does. Snatching up a hind leg just as he tries to bounce away. He purposely goes for the ankle and that oh so important tendon climbing up the back of it. He feels the grit of bone against his teeth as he clamps down on it, but Alduin’s not safe. His whole body is on display for an attack while he does this and Xynos takes advantage. Carving teeth into his shoulder and ribs Alduin grows and grits his teeth harder before planting his body and widening his stance. 

What comes next is the beginning of Xynos’ undoing. Muscles beneath a silvery brindle coat ripple as he flings himself into a full body shake. He feels the tendon snap and the pop of his bone breaking, all the while Alduin’s pulling back and dragging. His brute force completely separates his foot from his thigh and he wastes no time spitting it out to go for another bite right after.
