Like A River I Run

The smaller, more nimble cat found her way to the bears back and Taiga focused on keeping the bears attention on her. She had dodged the swipe as well and delivered another of her own, claws extended. In turn, the bear avoided her strike. It then lurched forward, forcing Taiga back a few steps. The front end of the bear wasn't the place to be, but if she ran to the back, she risked the bear deciding to roll, possibly crushing Birna beneath it. Rather than do that, Taiga continued to hold the front, snapping and snarling. She swiped out again as the bear turned to look at the creature biting into its spine. Catching a paw with her claws, Taiga pulled, forcing the bear to fall hard on its stomach, slamming the air out of its lungs. The ursine began to cough and, now that it was on the ground, the massive lioness threw herself upon it as well, slamming its front half into the ground and sinking her long, wide canines into the back of its neck.
