"Did my words strike a nerve, beast?" Apollo said dryly, his ringing ears laid back in distaste at the racket the creature had raised. And left them back as he shifted into a battle stance, though more out of habit than any need. This was... less a battle, and more a hunt. Dangerous prey, to be sure, but not a predator at all. The creature couldn't very well rip at his ears like another wolf. His eyes, too, were narrowed out of habit rather than real usefulness. The beast wanted a fight? Very well - he would show him the folly of insulting the Fallen God, and prevent him from bringing any more of his kind into the world to provide vessels for rebirth.
Keeping his weight equally spread between all four limbs, centered as he squared up so that his paws were just over hip and shoulder distant apart, Apollo held himself lightly on his toes, like a boxer ready to move. His joints were loose for freer movement, and slightly bent to lower his center of gravity. His tail flagged behind him level with his spine for balance, and he rounded his back, arching it just slightly like a cat to bring his hindquarters beneath him for a more supple and quicker motion. His head was lowered to the level of his shoulders for balance and to attribute to the rounding of his back.
The bull elephant charged, and like lightning Apollo bounced directly to his own right to get him out of the path of the tusks, leaping sideways like a startled horse. The tusks were too long and the movement too quick for him to escape entirely unscathed with the bottom of one tusk scraping over top of his hips as he moved, smacking against the muscle atop the hips and leaving moderate bruising there. As soon as his paws hit the ground he bounded off again, leaping forward at a slight leftward angle, attempting to aim for Abaddon's left rear leg.
Kicking off powerfully with his hindlegs, he attempted to catch a grip around the creature's angled left hind leg three-quarters of the way up to the elephant's belly, left foreleg around the inside and right foreleg around the outside in an attempt to drag himself further upwards.
His hindquarters curled up beneath him mid-leap and he attempted to hit with both hindpaws halfway down the elephant's left rear leg - his toes spread wide, he sought to dig the dull claws against the elephant's skin to grip tight and gain a foothold there.
Simultaneously he snapped his jaws forward, aiming between the angled left rear leg and the belly, attempting to dig his teeth into the loose skin between the thigh and the abdomen. His aim was to rip and tear rather than grip, hoping to cut through the thinner skin and into the viscera beneath it.
APOLLO vs ABADDON for MAIM (trunk removal)
Round 1/3
Height: 42"
Build: Medium
Note: for future fights, it's usually the challenged player, not the challenger, who decides the rounds, but I'm fine with three so it doesn't matter to me any. You also didn't put a note about your edits being witnessed by anyone so it would be within a judge's rights to default it if they saw the edit done and didn't know, so be careful about that next time.
