The Sunspire A meeting under the moonlight

The feeling of teeth catching the skin on Amekaze's chest sends a thrill through Rain, a small achievement, but one nonetheless. As she backs away for another lunge, her opponent takes a snap at her jaws. Slight pain and the smell of blood fills her nose from the spot on her muzzle that Amekaze manages to snag. It is only a small scratch, nothing that will leave a scar, but it is a success for the Alpha.

A growl deepens in her chest as she snaps back. Success for either one of them means a raise in moral which could influence who won and who lost. To Rain, fights weren't just about skill, but also one's will. If a wolf more than confident in their ability to win were to go against one not as confident, then the outcome would be different than if they both fully believed in their skills. Little scratches and bruises wouldn't much break her moral, but each mark for Amekaze meant that she could land worse attacks.

Raising up on her hind paws, Rain attempts to catch the black she-wolf on the back of her neck. She isn't going for a serious injury, but if she could hold the Alpha down, then she could get in a few good bites before Amekaze could go leaping off. Even though the Alpha's speed is impressive, Rain feels a bit of frustration. It isn't a bad thing though, she is enjoying this challenging fight.
