Rotten stripey stripe

She’d ventured further from Valhalla, much to Loshir’s displeasure. His charge was in season, and he never liked it when she went out alone during these times, even if he was with her. But she was headstrong, restless, and would do as she liked for the most part, and today was no exception.

She’d headed south, intending to scout out the other packs and get an idea of where they were, perhaps see if she could get in touch with Ashen. She was glad she’d chosen to wear her armor today—these briars would have been hell on the mane, and they already tugged at her tail as she slipped and slithered her way through the small pathways in the veritable maze of thorny plants.

However, a commotion up ahead brought her out of her careful travel and right into alertness. A lamb? She bolted toward the thrashing sounds of a fight, catching glimpses through the foliage as she sallied through. Tiger? Behind her Loshir growled a threat that she’d be closed in the alcoves if she took this risk, but she’d already spotted the wolf circling the striped cat and the lamb and made her decision.

Loshir bit back a snarl and tore after her. She’d circled, more carefully now and angled around the big cat., aiming for the other haunch as the larger wolf made his attach for the haunch. The tiger had whipped around to fend him off, and instead of the haunch she'd originally aimed for, she found a better target presented to her and slashed for the rib cage as she swerved to come alongside the big cat.

The tiger bellowed in surprise and pain, whirling to face the source with claws loaded for bear, and she wove to the side under a swipe, leaving the side open for Loshir as the mountain lion leapt from the briers on the other side and tackled into the tiger, hind claws raking as his front claws found purchase on the tiger’s back, jaws clamping on its scruff as he sought to unbalance the cat.

The tiger twisted, attempting to reach the mountain cat, but with its mouth full of lamb, it couldn't fend the smaller cat off, and opened itself to the two wolves.
