Sleepless I dream of the day [m]

When Charon's teeth found their mark on Dante's wounded head, he jerked back instinctively, which caused Charon to fall even though the grip on his leg was soon removed. Had Charon fully realised what was happening he might have tried to gain an advantage, but his world toppled upside down and he did not fully realise that he landed on top until he actually did. By that time, Dante was already flailing his legs around to try and get him off, and this caused Charon -- who, despite at his adult height, was still fairly lanky and light since he was only eleven months old -- to somersault over Dante's back and onto the ground, freeing his opponent.

Getting to his feet made Charon feel the pain in his shoulder, and for a moment he wanted to run away and leave, since this wasn't worth it. But then he saw the blood dripping down the side of Dante's face, and all he wanted to do was win. Punish him for letting Osprey die. Show him that he was nothing.

Teeth parted and without hesitation Charon attacked again. He tried to apply the same tactic that had worked on him moments before, diving left with head low, as though he was going for the left side of Dante's neck, and then defaulting to the right, where he would try to grab a hold of anything he could grab if he would succeed.
