It's Written In Gold [PACK CHALLENGE FOR TALIS]

Pain spread across the center of Ashiel's chest, a moderate bruise beginning to form, as he successfully collided into the front of Dragon's left shoulder. He swiftly inhaled after the impact, ready to keep going as he pushed the pain from his mind. He was starting to get tired. This fight was going on longer than expected and he hadn't managed yet to slow his opponent down. Ashiel's left shoulder would strike Dragon's upper left chest instead of his throat, leaving light bruising on Ashiel's shoulder for his trouble. His right forepaw would miss, which he swiftly returned to the earth. He was pleased though that his fangs had managed to catch Dragon's left side, just behind his elbow leaving deep punctures. It was a fair mark, but not the sort of injury that was going to end this fight. Ashiel maintained his defenses. His hackles were raised, his ears pinned. His tail remained tucked and his neck aligned with his spine, scrunching back as his shoulders rolled forward, his chin tucking. He swiftly reset his stance after his failed attacks, settling his weight evenly over his limbs. His toes spread, claws digging into the earth.  He heard Griff's call and knew the fight was about to get harder.

Keen peridot eyes were focused on his opponent and as Dragon moved to get at his left side Ashiel would swing his hindquarters to his own right in an attempt to turn the tables on his opponent and bring them into parallel alignment but with Ashiel facing slightly in toward Dragon's left hind leg. His efforts would displace his opponent's attacks. He felt Dragon's right paw scrape the outside of his left ankle but it would fail to grab hold. Due to Ashiel's pivot Dragon's chest and right shoulder would miss their targets though his left shoulder would just graze the upper left side of Ashiel's ribcage. Pain would greet Ashiel once again as Dragon's jaws tore light lacerations across his upper left side, a few inches before his tail. He wasn't so lucky with the jaguar. Griff's cry had come a bit to late but Ashiel's rotation had pulled his neck out of the way of the jaguar's attack. However, the cat's vicious fangs still managed to connect with his upper forearm leaving moderate puncture wounds but failing to get a grip as Ashiel finished his pivot.

Digging his hindpaws into the ground Ashiel's legs uncoiled as he launched himself toward Dragon. Lowering himself slightly, Ashiel attempted to slam the lower portion of his chest directly into Dragon's left knee seeking to hit with enough force to cause moderate bruising and hopefully sprain the ligaments surrounding the patella. Simultaneously he'd lance the point of his left shoulder forward trying to smash it into the tender flesh of Dragon's left side, just in front of the man's left hindleg. He hoped to cause significant bruising. At the same time Ashiel's head would twist to his left and up as he attempted to dig his fangs into the upper front of Dragon's left hind leg, where the leg connected to Dragon's left side, a paw's width down from the alpha's back. Ashiel wanted to dig his fangs into Dragon's flesh in a powerful grip meant to sever the top of the Sartorius muscle and cripple the movement of his opponent's left hind leg. He wasn't done though, his weight would shift evenly to his hindlegs and left front leg as he sought to lift his right forepaw and attempted to wrap it behind Dragon's left ankle. He wanted to grab it and pull the limb towards him, hoping that if he combined it with his chest and shoulder strike that he could off balance his opponent.

Seeing one of Dragon's companions get involved Griff would cease his circling in the sky and dive down, leveling off to come horizontally straight at Dragon's face. The kite's talons would extend as the bird attempted to drive the top two talons of his right right foot into Dragon's left eye. Yes, he knew the alpha was blind but the man's eyeball was still in tact and the kite hoped to pierce it and cause the alpha terrible pain that would make him submit.
