Bearclaw Valley tamerlane

Aventus surged to catch up with the rest of the pack, but even as he did, he knew it was over. Avicus, Merrick, Averna, and Solaria all came away with blood steaming from their muzzles, and Astara closed in again as well. The bull bled from at least half a dozen wounds, and its panicked flight only made the blood run faster.
His legs churned more slowly in the snow, bringing him down to an observant canter. Aventus was, at his core, an efficient creature. The bull would fall sooner than later. No sense wasting further energy shedding more blood. He conserved it, instead, prepared for the moment the creature stumbled and the pack swarmed over it.
