'Til Death Do Us Part (Medusa x Newt)

Swish, swish, swish, the guillotine danced from side to side. Waiting, as the inches faded and the bite to flesh was drawing near. Everything was in focus and though distractions pushed into the mind of the insane nothing seemed to penetrate the stillness that settled over the behemoths body. Slowly she following the circler motion, all the while counting the inches and seconds it would take to attack, she was unsure if the maiden was aware but each time she following she moved only a fraction of an inch closer. Every time the snake pulled her gaze to see what her master was doing the shadow drew closer.

Words like acid pulled into her mind. What was a wolf challenging for another?s throne that didn?t care? What purpose did she hold for wanting her kingdom if she truly cared not for the role of a leader? Perhaps Jupiter was attempting the same that her very Zara had asked of her. That was an error in the queen?s judgment. Zara had held blood rights to the throne. Endured the ranks and forced her way to the top only to have it stolen from her. She belonged to Amenti but Jupiter belonged in her own realm not the realm of shadows. She desired not to die but she would not revoke the terms. Those were her terms and she would finish the wolf if she won. She would give her no room for escape and her life would be forfeit for her disrespectful actions, no matter how pure thy may be, she was challenging the queen of assassins and the consequences would be catastrophic.

She dismissed the first move. Coward. The name would forever be branded into the bitch?s bones. Truly she was a snake in the grass and she was certain how the bitch would bite. Some small part of her, far far away, wondered what Champion and Zara thought of this pretender?s refusal. It was dishonorable and disrespectful to dismiss the first move and that showed her that in no way would she allow this bitch to gain control over the kingdom she had worked so hard to build.

Reaction was what she wanted, what she expected from the queen slayer, but Sade had expected reaction as well and she hadn?t seen the strike coming just as this bitch wouldn?t know what direction she would erupt from. Her paws kept her body balanced as they followed the female slowly. She knew the tactic, tire the big fat wolf out, and then attack. Well, simply because one is large and heavy didn?t mean they didn?t know how to use their stamina and preserve it. That was an error many wolves that were built for speed and agility made when it came to larger wolves. Just because they were heavy didn?t mean they were slow and just because a wolf is slim didn?t mean they didn?t have strength behind their bite.

The words come had slipped from the serpentines mouth and yet she made no indication of doing so. She merely continued to move, waiting, watching, and hoping to frustrate the woman. Her violet eyes watched every paw step, every muscle movement, and waiting for any distractions. Jupitor and Kaios had begun their battle and the sound of snarls and growls was over whelming. She yearned to watch the battle and to know what was happening but in the end her children would tell the tale of their joint battles and she would know. Instead as the fight progressed in the distance she positioned herself at a slight angle as she followed the woman round and around.

She felt the distance slipping slowly and she could almost reach out and smack the bitch if she truly tried. In that moment everything became one fluid motion. Her legs locked and then propelled her body forward. Her weight was evenly distributed on her toes and her legs were wide to hold her balance. Claws were used to grab the earth and rip her body forward. Her tail was level with her body and swaying to keep her body in a forward momentum. She had pinned her ears back for protection, Her hair had rose upright to attention, and she angled her head down to protect her throat.

While the bitch had been circling her she had made sure to fall back just a little and angle herself so she was constantly facing the left side of Medusa, rather then be facing her head on. As she pushed forward she opened her jaws and tilted her head just enough to protect her neck. Her objective was to possibly grab the side of the serpent?s neck, or shoulder, hold, and she hoped that with her speed and weight she could possibly rip into the flesh and knock the bitch off balance and run her into the ground. She wouldn?t be gentle this time and anything she could score she would tear as if she were breaking into a fresh kill. Should the bitch move just a little forward then she would aim for the meat that met her shoulder to her leg. If hesitated and lunged forward then she would attempt to grab the fur around the bitched backside, where her shoulder blades were, and again attempt to use her weight to push her into the ground. Should she bolt then she would attempt to grab medusas thigh and again try to drag her into the ground.

<*b>Round: 1/4

Attacks: Newt is attacking from the side of medusa, since it wasn?t clearly identified in her post which direction she was circling, clockwise or counter clockwise, I am going with counter clockwise. This positions newt to face the left side of Medusa. She is aiming to grab the side of Medusas neck and push her off balance into the ground by attacking from the side. Depending on the direction Medusa goes she is also aiming for her shoulder, loose fur between the shoulder blades, or thigh and still aiming to knock her over with her forward force.


Damage: None, as this is the first move.

Defenses: Legs evenly distributed and lose to help with fluid movement and keep her grounded and balanced. As she pushes forward they space apart and lock forward to keep her balance and distribute her weight evenly and she is running on her toes Her Tail and head are level with her body to also help with balance and protect her neck. Ears are pinned back to protect them. Fur is raised to support her skin and give her an extra layer to protect the skin beneath it. Eyes are focused and looking for counter attacks or defenses. Jaws are ajar to grab and protect her face for any counter attacks. <*/b>
