Quill had visited his parents and had heard from the new King of Elysium that there had been some predators nearby. Quill, always down for a battle, had offered to team up and rid the lands around Elysium of the bitey upstarts. Bitey because... tigers. Big teeth. Always starting shit.

With Deimos in tow, Quill followed his nose to the nearest cat and wasted no time in leaping onto it, slamming the young tiger into the ground and sinking his teeth into the striped beast just behind the jaw. There were only two of them. This would be easy, right?

Deimos of course knew he could have asked any one of their warriors to handle the encroaching predators–and perhaps he should have in the interest of sharpening their skills–but it had been too long since he had gotten to test out his own prowess in a fight. It always felt good to stretch his muscles and prove that he was still just as capable as he ever had been. Chimera's son that was visiting had volunteered to join in on the task so the two men went out to the near by thicket, both of them eager to find this tiger that had been getting a little too close for comfort.

Finding the big cats was certainly no problem. They had barely stepped into the rustling thicket when Quill picked up on the scent and found the pair of tigers where they must have been stalking the Elysium border. They both looked pretty young–which was probably why they thought they could take on a pack. Young and dumb. Quill leaped on one of the felines so he charged toward the other. Lowering his head, he used the horns on his head to jab into the tiger's neck, breaking the skin and feeling blood splatter across the rest of his face. Certainly a messy way to go about it, but a fun way none of the less.

Deimos leaped in right after him, going for the second cat. Good. Then Quill wouldn't have to worry about it jumping on his back or something. That's what cats liked to do.

The tiger sank his claws into Quill's thick mane but came away with only fur. The marbled brute snickered through his mouthful of cat before giving his head a shake, whipping back and forth and ripping great furrows into the striped cats neck. It squealed and struggled, but in the end it was all to no avail. The thing was as good as dead.

"Speech"

He was in very close quarters with the tiger to do an attack like this so getting the big cat's claws swiping at him was pretty unavoidable. He felt its sharp claws scrape across both of his shoulders as it flailed on the ends of his horns, but unfortunately for the feline he grew up around siblings and family members who almost all had some sort of large claws or feline like paws. He was more than used to a few scratches. He didn't back off of his attack and only doubled down on it as he pulled his head back a bit and then charged forward for another attack with his head tucked a little lower so that his horns jabbed at the tiger's throat instead. He also lifted one large, bear-like paw to hook his thick claws into the tiger's shoulder as he turned with a twist of his upper body, using his muscle and bulk to throw the tiger to the ground and pin it down. Yeah, this fight wasn't going to last long.

Quill bit and bit and bit, sliding his teeth further into the cats throat with every chew. Eventually, sharp teeth hit something vital and his mouth was filled with a rush of blood. That was when he dropped the feline and kicked it away, spitting rivers of blood onto the ground beside him. He was a mess, but it was worth it. He'd gotten to kill something and he'd also had a chance to be a bro. One of the guys.

Turning his attention to Deimos, Quill watched as the other dire brute took out his tiger. Quill's lay twitching on the ground behind him, but it was very much dead. He wondered if anyone would want the hides or if they should just leave the bodies here as a sign in case any other tigers wanted to fuck around and find out.

Deimos pulled his horns free from the tiger's throat with a ripping tear as he slammed the big cat into the ground, tearing a wide gash across its throat. The cat struggled and twitched a bit with gargling noises of death, but eventually it fell still with just a couple more small twitches. His face and chest were absolutely coated in the tiger's blood and he had to use one of his large paws to wipe away some blood that was attempting to drip into his eyes, but when he glanced over to where Quill had been fighting his own opponent he saw that they had both taken out the tigers easily. "Well done," he said with a grin, shaking the blood he had wiped away off of his paw. He considered skinning the cats for their pelts, but they were pretty cut up from the scuffle and if anything it would be a warning to any others that might try to wander through here. "Lets head back. I better get washed up before Ikigai has a chance to fuss about me tracking blood into the den," he said with a chuckle before he turned back toward Elysium to make a pitstop at the Firefly Lake.
