Horizon Ridge You walk around this town like it’s holy land,

How do you guys wanna do this? I'm happy to play it all out on this thread and for Dacio to take numerous hits as long as they're not fatal, but lmk if you'd rather do anything differently.  :)

So focused on his target, spurred by an unbridled fury for the misfortune her pack had brought to Drageda's cliffs, Dacio failed to notice the approach of any other. He saw only the sea witch's daughter, illuminated crimson beneath the evening's setting sun, and knew she had to suffer for Rusalka's actions.

His body bowled hers over, and his fangs held fast to the nape of her neck. Through this mouthful of fur and flesh did he snarl, satisfied to finally taste the blood of his enemies, pulse quickened as adrenaline coursed his veins. The she-wolf writhed beneath his grip, fangs clacking desperately in his direction but never close enough to make contact, and the sterling Gona manouevered just enough to better ground himself so that he could violently shake his head with every intention of feeling her fall limp in his grasp.

Dacio's attack was short-lived, however, as another seemingly appeared from nowhere to round on him. A beast thrust himself into the fray, attempting to force his frame between the young Drakru and his prize, but he was unwilling to release. No matter the sharp pain of his flank where a stranger's teeth found purchase or the release of his own blood, he felt there was zero chance of him letting go after having craved this day for so long. Drageda may have fallen, but Dacio had not - and should he die this day, he'd be sure to take Raleska down with him.

He braced himself the best he could under the brute's attack, growling through the thick blood and saliva in his mouth like a madman, claws scrabbling against the earth as he leaned in heavily against his enemy's shoulder in attempt to better pin her beneath his weight.
