The yelp of pain from Zee sent him into a frenzy, and he hit hard as he collided with the tiger. Regardless, it was the most solid creature he had ever rammed into, and he felt the bruising all along his shoulder even as he drove the creature a step back from the sheer ferocity of his attack.
The tiger turned the force of its weight to him and pushed back, and it became a wrestling match between two large beings - only thing was, Seer felt he was outmatched in sheer size and weight. He got his claws into the muscle of the cats front shoulder, and the leg gave as the pain hit the cat, keeping the tiger from toppling him over.
The cat in return dug its teeth into the back of his neck, and Seer growled at the pain. He knew this was nothing more than a delay tactic, and he hoped he was giving Zee enough time to flee. To get help, or abandon him. Part of him didn’t care which, so long as she was not here.
Then he felt the wind of her motion as she glided by them, slipping under the tiger and harrying him before moving on. Fool woman he thought as the tiger snarled and turned its attention from him again. He used that moment to snap at the tendon behind its leg, and felt something give. The tiger growled and collapsed, but he knew it was only momentarily. He took this chance to disengage from the creature and take hurried steps backwards.
The tiger snarled at him, but he knew it was only going to be angry. He turned, through he hated to do, and ran to Zee’s side. “Move!” he snarled. By partly crippling the beast he had given them a chance to escape something that otherwise would have been faster then them.
