What in the actual hell was that thing.
Rhazien had been exploring the lush mangrove purely out of curiosity, figuring he might come across something interesting, given how deep into the territory he was. All around him, he could smell wolves lingering in the shadows- making him wonder if this place belonged to a band, or if this was a coincidence. Regardless, he’d walked along the well beaten path, keeping to himself- at least, until this huge, tusked creature appeared before him, walking along the shoreline. It was bigger than anything he’d ever seen before- it towered over the foliage, grabbing things with a muscular appendage that also looked like a nose? And those tusks, they looked dangerous- like they'd pierce straight through him if given the chance. What the fuck.

Again? The familiar for of Cadaver ran past and, as Bowen expected, the attacking form of some large beast came after. The boy wasn't alone. A big, dark man stood nearby. Well, she supposed they'd have to teach this elephant a lesson. It wasn't smart to attack wolves.
Bowen used the distraction of the two boys to her advantage. She ran forward and latched her jaws into the heel of the blustering creature. It trumpeted and spun, dragging the caramel cream fae along in a circle with it. Her paws left earth at one point, her long tail waving in the wind like a banner, but she held on.

Barghest trailed closely behind Bowen, her anticipation palpable as she eagerly anticipated the chance to test her skills. She had spent countless hours honing her abilities, determined to prove herself. It was the boy again. A new man. And a creature with two big tusks. As Bowen surged forward into the fray, seizing the attention of their opponent, Barghest wasted no time in springing into action. With swift precision, she locked onto the creature's other leg, mirroring Bowen's movements with instinctual efficiency. It was a simple but effective tactic, and Barghest knew that there was no better way to learn than by following by example.

Wolves started appearing out of the woodwork, perhaps drawn to the oddity like he was. Something about the creature, despite its peaceful demeanor, oozed danger- a warning not to challenge its strength, which piqued Rhazien’s interest. He wanted to take it down. The wolves who gathered had a similar idea- a boy he recognized lunging forward, snapping at its legs to get it moving. A pretty girl rushed in and grabbed a heel, and the pup, bit the other leg. The elephant rumbled out a high-frequency roar, nasally but intimidating. But Rhazien wasn’t detoured- he ran into the fray, lunging up at the elephant's side to bite down with his serrated fangs.

An audible gasp pulled from Bowen as the elephant kicked its thick leg, dislodging the small fae and sending her flying away into the dirt. Bowen stood, breathing hard. She took second to catch her breath, then rushed at the beast again. Once more her target was the sensitive flesh of the elbow. Not only was the skin thinner there, but the elephant wouldn't easily be able to reach her in that position.

Barghest's heart pounded in her chest as she watched Bowen's attack unfold. The sight of the elephant's massive leg swinging out, sending the small fae hurtling through the air, made her blood run cold. But Bowen refused to stay down. Barghest was still clinging to the limb she had claimed, refusing to let go. It was enough of a nuisance that the elephant tried to dislodge her a couple times, but the mottled girl was so damn locked on it was meaningless. But her muscles were tiring, and with a snarl she released her hold, dropping to the ground only to lunge back up at the beast’s stomach.

His teeth sank into the elephant’s thick hide, drawing blood to the surface but only with the aid of his serrated steel caps. He wasn’t able to hold on for long, given the beast was much taller than himself and more powerful- forcing him to rip the chunk in his mouth off of its side, before he fumbled back to the ground. Bowen was also kicked off, flying off into the dirt before rushing back in to grab it by the elbow. And the pup, she was a confident little thing- refusing to let go of the limb she held, until she didn’t have any strength left in her jaws.
Rhazien lunged forward then- following in place beside Barghest, assisting her in attacking the underbelly of the beast. Making sure to keep the pup protected from the stampeding feet of the elephant, so she wouldn’t get squished.

Again and again the quartet of wolves attacked the legs of the elephant. What else could they attack, really? The thing was so damned tall. Despite its size, the elephant realized that this fight just wasn't worth it. All of the little wounds on its tree trunk legs would add up. Each one was a chance for infection. A scent extravaganza for any predators that might want to taste some elephant. So, as the wolves attacked, the huge beast turned and began running back to where it came from. That was just fine with Bowen.

Barghest's aqua eyes flickered with a hint of intrigue as that man joined her below the belly of the beast. And as they continued to attack the underbelly together, Barghest felt only exhilarated. No fear. Finally, being able to explore and have fights was so much fun!
However, as the chaos of battle intensified, Barghest's ruthless determination wavered. Enough was enough. This was getting nowhere, and even Bowen had backed off. With a gruff bark, Barghest reluctantly disengaged from the fight, her gaze lingering on the retreating elephant from the four vicious wolves. If this is what the outside world had to offer, she was practically feral with the urge to leave her father’s territory more and more.
