Butt of the Joke

Out of the corner of her eye Kaija say something pop up out of the ground, or that was what it seemed like. But the girl didn't have time to focus on much but the hyena in front of her, though the cheer of encouragement definitely helped keep her focused. Hell yeah she could do this! She'd go home with a victorious story to tell her siblings and maybe some badass scars to prove it. The thought that she might get hurt, like actually hurt, didn't really cross her mind. In general she was still young enough to be blissfully naive of the real dangers of the world, at least until suddenly she tackled the hyena and the two of them were rolling around, all teeth and claws and snarls. Kaija tried to keep the thing down as best as she could, feeling its teeth scraping one of her front legs. She managed to dodge the worst of its attacks but she hit the ground hard in the process. Briefly she felt the wind get knocked out of her before she scrambled to her paws, using her weight to grab hold of one of the hyena's hind legs and whipping it to the side, sending the hyena down with a loud yelp.
