I can't trust the fall

His mother's homeland was strange. When he had crawled up to the Veteran's Plateau he had been met with a strange terrain. Wasn't it supposed to be warm now? From what he knew his mother had said that normally these months were filled with the beginnings of life. Yet with winter's grip remaining the loner had to make sure to keep him and his daughter fed. Being a single father wasn't easy - not to mention he saw his mother seldom often since he got here. She was getting old and he was worried for her, but his thoughts were interupted by a rather alarming sound.

Ahead of him his ears perked, the screaming exploded into the plateau in a flurry of dirt and sand. The dust suddeny settled and Pheonix could get a better look at the situation at hand. Two large... and an understatement of large, wolved were fighting. Although the more understandable height one was in a bit of a predicament. It seemed that they had stumbled upon a new nest with the large dire wolf being a paranoid new father. His fur bristled along his back, he couldn't let a stranger be killed over a mistake. After all they were both wolves - what made them thing they were a threat. Then again Pheonix didn't blame them.

With a second though Pheonix rushed forward, picking up speed depsite his small size. With Eligos being big and the other opponent even bigger Pheonix was not the tallest wolf out there. Quickly he tried to shove his weight into the massive wolves legs to knock it to the ground. His friend there had been lucky enough to be wearing armor, Pheonix was not leaving him at a horrible disadvantage. "Stop!" he snapped at the giant dire wolf. When Pheonix snapped that the wolf let out a growl, snapping forward it's massive teeth stopped inches from the young wolf's face. Pheonix's eyes widened as his tail lashed behind him he snapped back. Catching the nose of the beast before he quickly darted back - he was small enough with the speed.

"I think you're better off facing him head on than me." he chuckled lightly next to the large wolf. Hopefully his help was not unwelcome. "The names Pheonix, Pheonix Isokan. I'll help you." his ears pinned to the back of his head. Toes spreading in the junk underneath him. A growl ripped through him. If this dire wolf wanted a fight than that's what he would get. Neither of them were here to harm his family but Pheonix had a feeling that they needed to teach this uncouth beast some manners.
