Fight Back the Nightmare

On her face, Romulus could see the trepidation dwelling in Lillith's mind. She was equally as concerned as he was, but hesitant to face such a dangerous threat. Still, his alabaster goddess suggested that it seemed like it might be blind and felt that they could handle it. She wanted to face it and he felt confident in their abilities together. They'd both grown stronger since their first battle together in the gardens. Surely they could take another big cat. "All right, but if anything gets to be too dangerous, we peel out and call for help, okay?" It wasn't a doubting of her health or their combined abilities, but more a desire to protect his girlfriend and keep her safe without excluding her. "I'll lead the charge and keep it distracted, you get in whatever bites you can get. We'll keep it moving and whittle it down."

With his plan explained, Roman waited for Lillith to give him the ready signal, and then the silver and slate Armada was charging across the plains at their foe. The tiger's ears swiveled when it heard the thundering paws, turning to face the noise just as Romulus came up on it. The wolf snarled and bit at the big cat's shoulder, making the predator yowl in confusion and alarm while it swung its head around trying to find him. Lillith was right; the mushrooms covering the tiger's eyes had blinded the poor creature. Despite its lack of sight, however, the tiger's hearing was still impeccable, and it swung large clawed paws in the direction of Roman's thundering paw steps, growling and baring fangs in an intimidating display. Roman ran circles around the tiger, keeping its attention moving at all times while he ducked in and out to steak cheeky bites at the animal's chest and neck, leaving an opening for Lillith to take and inflict some actual damage on their opponent.
