Úlfr's ears flicked back at the spirits reaction. Rather that backing off she seemed excited to pluck the fungi from his body to cause him pain. He steeled himself, hackles raised and ears back. "Leave me be spirit, I've done nothing to you!" He pedaled backwards a short ways until the rush of cool water snaked around his legs. How fast could a spirit move? If she could hurt him could he hurt her? His heart raced as she stalked closer and closer. It was now or never. Perhaps he could answer his own questions. With a snarl Úlfr charged forward, seeking to race past the specter's left side as his jaws lashed out. He tried to bite her left shoulder to see if he could draw blood or if indeed his jaws would simply move right through her.
