Stolen Dance (Open Spar)

They'd collide in brutal bloodshed, both thirsting for the violence. Birna had walked away with barely a scratch from the siege. It was not the release she'd wanted, it wasn't like this fight, this brutal pain that threatened to make her vision blur as her right shoulder blade would dive into the waiting jaws of her opponent, the mans teeth digging deep and tearing severe lacerations, send splatters of her blood to decorate the ground. The man would release her right foreleg and she'd quickly place it back on the ground, biting back the pain her adrenaline was barely managing to keep in check.

Her fangs dug deeply into the flesh of the mans face, upper fangs above his right eye and lower fangs above his left as she intended. Her left forepaw would also drape across the back of his head, just behind his ears, aided by her height however the man would lock his legs and she was unable to force him down to the ground. His head would toss sharply upward into her jaws causing his wounds to worsen but succeeding in forcing her to relinquish her grip for fear of over-extending her own jaws. Her fangs and jaws were her most brutal weapon and she didn't want to risk damaging them. The middle of his right foreleg would come up and strike her under her left elbow and her left leg would be knocked aside but she would not incur any damage due to the height he had to reach to bat her left arm away. Birna's left forepaw landed on the ground and with all four feet now solidly planted she would shift her weight evenly over them.

So close to each other there really was no dodging, only furious gnashing teeth, blood and writhing, battling bodies. Ehrgeiz's left forepaw struck out and nailed the front of her outer right shoulder leaving mild bruising and thankfully missing her lacerations however the blow still sent a jolt of pain erupting through the limb that caused her to lean heavily to her left, her weight shifting evenly over her left foreleg and hind legs as she sought to bring her weight off her ailing right forelimb. Her toes and claws dug sharply into the earth, tail aligning with her spine and streaming out stiff behind her as her abdomen tensed, seeking to keep herself balanced in case the man sought to use her three-legged stance against her.

Birna's teeth grit together in further pain as the mans jaws tore into the lower right side of her neck his lower fangs tearing into the flesh in the lower front of her neck, a few inches from the outside as his upper fangs pierced the flesh on the lower right side of her neck, obtaining a solid hold and leaving moderate punctures. Her sudden shift to her left to take the weight off her right shoulder had displaced his attack but had not moved her far enough to escape his grip.

Birna quickly checked her remaining defenses. Her skull moved to align with her spine as her chin tucked and her neck scrunched back, seeking to bunch fur and fat as her shoulders rolled forward. Her hackles remained on end, knees and elbow bent to lower her center of gravity, her ears remaining pinned to her head, her eyes narrowed as she moved to return the assault.

With her weight shifted evenly over her front left leg and hind legs Birna sought to lance the front of her left shoulder forward into the groove where the man's right shoulder met his chest, seeking to moderately bruise the tender area and distract him as her neck twisted slightly to her right, open jaws diving for the exposed upper right side of the man's neck a few inches back from his jaw line. Her upper fangs sought to pierce deep into the flesh an inch below his left ear where the carotid artery lay, her upper fangs seeking to pierce the flesh of the lower left part of his neck, a few inches behind the corner of his left jaw. She hoped to get a solid grip that she could worsen if the man did not release his own grip. Simultaneously with her bite and shoulder thrust Birna also sought to throw the center of her chest forward into the right side of his chest, legs bunching tightly and uncoiling as she sought to give force to the blow with the goal of causing bruising as well as maybe forcing him to stumble back or possibly over onto his back if his forelegs were still raised.
