Everything was moving fast, and Dragon wasn't entirely prepared for this encounter. Heart hammering in his chest, he watched as Shiva attempted to distract the beast, heart lunging to his throat as it lunged at her. Did it get her!? Eyes wide as he searched past the giant creature, he breathed a small sigh of relief as he saw his companion crouched low on the other side of the boulder. His relief didn't last long, however. With that momentary distraction, the other male that had ended up stuck with them lunged at the beasts hind foot, and in the blink of an eye the creature had whipped around and struck out at them. Dragon had barely been missed by a hair as it's large paws swept around, but the other male had been less fortunate. It struck him square in the face, and he winced at the sound the impact made.
This was his chance though, wasn't it? He managed to recover as Shiva leaped from the other side of the boulder and onto it's back, and he would take that cue to make his own move. Snarling, Dragon lunged forward and put himself in between the beast and the other male, fangs bared and maw opened wide as he lunged for the creature's muzzle. He dug his fangs as deep as he possibly could right over its nose, trying to make it harder for the beast to breathe and maybe even crush the bone and destroy its sensitive nose. Meanwhile, Kimahri and Shiva worked to keep the beast from focusing solely on the earthen male. Dragon threw his weight back, trying to hold the cougars head down and as close to the ground as he possibly could, tail lashing and hind legs splayed, claws biting the earth for traction. Green gaze was narrowed as he worked to keep spit and blood out of his eyes. He'd viciously shake his head, eyes wild with a fierceness he had never felt before. And yet, perhaps he hadn't been as fortunate as he wished to be. The beast raked it's claws down his right shoulder, leaving two deep and long cuts that would bleed. Despite the pain he felt, the adrenaline kept him hanging on, and perhaps the bit of fear that if he let go, its jaws would snap around his neck... |
Dragon never goes anywhere without his Dragon armor, assume he is always wearing it unless otherwise mentioned! He also has a pair of seeing eye jaguars, assume they're always present unless otherwise mentioned.
