For how large Glaukos was, he manged some speed that surprised Kallik. First, he shifted enough in defense that the auxillary's teeth met his face instead of his neck. Kallik's teeth raked from below his eye, down his cheek. Not what he had planned, but he wasn't the least bit upset about it. The bite would probably hurt more even. He hoped it scarred. 

And the second time the other soldier's speed took him off guard, he paid quite the price for it. Glaukos slammed into him with a force he had no chance of withstanding. Kallik was pinned to the ground on his back, the air whooshing from his lungs. He tried to suck in breath but he couldn't, and that left him even more vulnerable. He felt teeth in the side of his neck; they tore deep into his flesh, sending searing pain down his neck to his shoulder. 

Kallik kicked up with muscled hind legs, and snapped furious teeth at the side of Glaukos' face and neck. The move would worsen his own wound, but he didn't care. He would bite into the other soldier again and not let go—

Until he heard the imperator's command. Kallik didn't even know when he arrived, but it was almost impossible to ignore the order. He froze and released the other soldier's flesh from his jaws. He still kicked his feet, though, trying to get out from under the giant weight of his fellow auxillary.
