Ever the practiced team, Hattori knew what to do as soon as Raijin managed to sink his teeth into the cat’s neck. It spat and yowled, unresting birds from their nests and certainly causing other prey animals to scurry to their hidey holes. He grunted as it tried to pry its neck from his grasp, but it was no use. His saber teeth dug in and held tight, ensuring he’d ensnared his prize. He began to swing his head wildly, deep growls reverberating in his chest as he worked to sever its spine. It took a few moments, but eventually a sickening crack filled the air and it went still, unable to move from paralysis. It wasn’t, however, dead, and its eyes looked up at them in a mixture of anger and terror. He stepped back, his tongue dragging over his pale lips to remove the blood that clung there before reaching down and sinking his teeth into the animal’s throat. With another crunch and a gurgled breath, the puma’s life passed from its eyes.

Once that bit was done, the cousins each took a kill, Hattori the puma and Raijin the scavenged deer, and began the trek back to Ashen with their prizes, pleased at the success.
