now my neck is open wide, begging for a fist around it

Now he was ready to put himself back into the fray. He'd come to the battlefield in search of an opponent, someone to test himself against. He would keep his experiences at the forefront of his mind and force himself to learn from them, growing sharper from those battles. He paused in his stride, ears perked as he heard a guttural howl, an invitation for bloodshed. Xephyris would answer the call with a howl of his own, letting it be known that he would come.
It was not long before his opponent came into view. The massive, dark-coated hessian might have gone unnoticed in the dead of night if not for the brilliant, silver light of the moon revealing his presence. Angry silver eyes narrowed as Xephyris came to recognize the shape illuminated by the moonlight. This was the man that had taken down Sin, stripping away the pack's hope as their leader was defeated. This would be good. Not a word would be uttered; instead, Xephyris approached the male, squaring himself just 10 ft. directly in front of the man. A low growl rumbled in his throat and hackles prickled at the back of his neck, glaring into the shaded eyes of the strange wolf who wore a skull over his face. He was ready for combat, and wasn't going to waste his energy sharing words.

The gray-coated male would surge forward at the same time that Hati sprang forward. As the larger male thrust forward his left shoulder, Xephyris would come in low, weight distributed evenly with each paw. Opening his jaws he would aim for the shoulder that was meant to strike his trachea (Hati's left shoulder) in a counter. His head tilted to his right, his lower jaw aiming for the front of Hati's shoulder blade, the upper jaw going for the muscle on the outer side of the shoulder. He hoped to leave deep, serious lacerations with his fangs. He would acquire mild muscle strains to his jaw and neck (should he be successful), but it was preferred over a crushed windpipe. Seconds later, he felt excruciating pain as the two inner toes of his left forepaw were crushed, the bones fracturing; they did not break entirely nor shatter, but still painful nonetheless. He snarled, shifting his weight to his hind legs to take the pressure off his injured forepaw and prepare to lunge.
With Xeph's position adjusted, Hati's fangs would meet in the back of his gray flecked scruff, leaving moderate punctures in the loose skin several inches behind the back of his skull. Xeph growled again with the pain, but the adrenaline would be enough to keep him going for now. His right forepaw lifted, before shooting forward in an attempt to strike Hati's left forepaw, hoping to crush the two outer toes. Then, uncoiling the power in his hind legs, Xephyris would try to ram the front, upper part of his left shoulder into the front-left side of Hati's chest, where the other man's lower neck met with the chest. He intended to leave moderate bruising on the man's forechest, and hoping to get in close quarters for his next attack while bracing himself mentally for the other man's assault that would surely follow.

Quickly Xephyris readjusted his defenses, his three good legs widening to distribute his weight evenly, most of his weight shifted to his hind legs. His toes splayed against the ground and claws digging into the dirt to give him traction. His shoulders rolled forward, allowing his scruff to bunch up protectively. His hackles remained raised to create a thick layer of protective fur. His ears lay back defensively, silver eyes narrowed, while his scarred muzzle remained wrinkled up angrily, the skin bunching up around his face. His tail shifted to tuck between his legs, and with his fangs exposed, he would prepare himself to lunge again.
With the power in his hindquarters, Xephyris would launch himself in Hati's direction, aiming for the left side of the man's neck. Just as he did so, Hati's teeth would make contact with Xeph, missing their intended target, but still leaving severe punctures that bled instantly. Rather than biting over Xeph's spine, Hati's top teeth would strike just to the left of Xeph's spine, right behind his shoulder, the bottom jaw digging into the back part of Xeph's left shoulder, right where the shoulder met with the ribcage. Pain flared from the wound, but it only drove Xephyris to fight harder, seeking vengeance for the blood spilled. With his left forepaw raised and muscles coiled in his hind legs, he would try to thrust forward and to his left slightly. He sought to drive the upper, bony part of his shoulder blade into the side of Hati's neck, midway between the shoulder and jaw line, hoping to leave a moderate bruise along the side of the man's jugular. As he did so, he'd plant his left hind paw heavily on the ground, pivoting slightly to his right with his hind right paw coming off the ground, he'd try to aim his right hind paw at Hati's right forepaw. He hoped to bring it crashing down on the man's paw to inflict fractures in the small bones.
Lastly, his neck would crane to his left, head whipping quickly to the left, jaws parting wide as he aimed to snag his jaws onto the left side of Hati's face. His intention was to hook his upper teeth into Hati's left eye, hoping to damage it beyond use, while his lower teeth aimed to hook underneath the left side of the man's jaw, hoping for a moderate puncture alone the jawline. Oh this battle, it was so, so satisfying, even if it was just a spar; the intensity was felt, and he dind't feel like he was fighting just to improve himself. Xephyris snarled with determination, hoping that his aim was true, as pain wracked his body in the most gratifying way.
