Ravensblood Forest Young Guardian

Vale had been foolish to think his mother would not strike him. She buffeted him in the side, nearly sending him sprawling. Gathering his footing, he dipped his head in understanding and began to counter circle his mother while his eyes searched for an opening.

He decided to strike her flank, thinking if he got her there, she might not be able to defend as well. Vale ran at his mother, first shouldering her and then aiming a bite at her right flank.
