Astrophel had continued along the dried riverbed, taking care not to step on any of the small shrub-like cacti that had sprouted up somehow even with the lack of water. He had tried and failed to dig up some sort of reservoir of water beneath the cracked soil, so instead he decided to just keep going forward until he came across something other than sand. Eventually he spotted a clump of trees in the distance, and happily picked up the pace at the prospect of taking a break in some shade. He had only settled down under the palm trees for a few minutes before he felt the fur on his nape prickle uncomfortably, and from the corner of his eye he could spot movement. With an agile grace unusual for a wolf his size he was up on all fours, head lowered and teeth bared at the incoming beast. The sleek black coat and piercing yellow eyes were unmistakable characteristics of a panther, and why this large cat was deciding to pick a fight with him was beyond him. A low growl left his mouth as he squared up against the panther, fluffing up his fur and lifting his tail in the air to make a show and try and scare it off from attacking. He was not a wolf to be trifled with, and while he hadn't fought a panther before, he was sure he could do enough damage to make it leave him alone. |
