He was high, and then he wasn't; smacked against the earth with a thud at the sudden force of the pale beast.

He pulled himself to his feet, tail feathered and hackles raised as he set his sights on the diseased brute once more. This time he struck with a more rational target in mind, aiming directly for the man's tail. Should his attack strike true, Xizur would aim to pull the beast away from the others, or at least keep at bay for now.
