Bare Your Blades

Skaelingr let his mind still, trying to ignore the restless noise of his own brain. He could not afford to be distracted. His ears perked up at the approach of a young male similar in age but far bigger. The other definitely looked to be a challenge and he looked forward to fighting such an intimidating youth. The boy spoke and Skaelingr nodded. Knowing that the wolves of this land tended to use speech more than his own kind he parted his lips and spoke. "Please, it would be an honor." He squared off against the male and quickly set his defenses as he analyzed his course of attack. Normally his opponents were his own size or smaller. A wolf of this size would be a challenge indeed.

Instinct told him to use his greater speed against his opponent yet he had the drive to strike, to bring them together in violence swiftly. He wanted to test his strength, to get a feel for his opponent. Kicking off he charged head on for his opponent. Let the other think he might dodge out of the way at any moment, but today, for his first move, that was not his strategy.  He swiftly twisted his right shoulder forward as he attempted to slam the point of his right shoulder into the crease between the youths chest and left shoulder. He hoped to strain the ligaments there and slow his opponents movement. If he were to try and throw his weight around he knew he needed to focus on softer targets. He threw his shoulder forward in midleap so that he would hit higher on the shoulder as he partially reared up to make up for the difference in height. As he leapt he also sought to smash the top of his head against the bottom of the taller wolf's jaw halfway between the front and his throat. The top of his skull would be difficult to get a hold of though he knew he was at risk for scarring from attacks there.

As he threw his head up he also sought to grab ahold of his opponents throat. His jaws seeking to grasp the youth beneath his jaw. His head tilted just slightly so that his lower jaw aimed to pierce the flesh on the left side of the youth's throat while his upper fangs sought to hook over his right. His goal was to get a good hold from which he could begin to strangle his opponent and hopefully bring a swift end to the fight.
