Nova Peak Strength and courage lies within your heart

Her frustration was clear - from sound and action as she forced herself away from him, finally breaking the clash of fangs and flesh. He waited for her next move, his own pelt bristling in response to her own, taking a more defensive stance in case she decided to go for another round, defending himself.

With her off his ass for being present in unclaimed lands, he continued on his journey from where he had stopped. Facing the same direction before the skirmish, his quest continued, seeking for something more than a wandering loner with nothing other than to fight for the right to everything.
