Blood in the water

They were going to be leaving soon and head back north so Chade used today to go a bit farther from the band to explore auster while there was still time and now that his confidence was growing. Chade found himself in the strange cove at low tide. Water trapped in a variety of tide pools and the scent of various different creatures within them, some of the animals easier to spot than others. Mostly crabs, but also strange fish that actually dove under the sand, something with more legs than he’d ever imagined on a create crawling along the sand and rocks and yet another funny thing that looked like a clear disc with strings hanging from it.

Chade had started to the jellyfish that just seemed sprawled in the grit when he spotted a couple of forms that were walking the path about where he had come from. A bunch of dogs, two resembling some type of hound mixes but bulkier than a general hound would have along with something smaller but muscular form of a bulldog, and the other two mutts also larger with muscle.

The dogs were spreading out so as to form a half-circle around Chade with the ocean not overly far behind him. So they thought they needed to trap him for a fight? Chade snarled, glaring at each dog in turn. The blue boy didn’t wait for them to start things but instead ran towards one of the bulky hound-like dogs, slamming his teeth into its neck. He had to thin the numbers fast. Tough guy routine in initiating the fight Chade was well aware of the terrible odds.

He already saw the other dogs coming in from both sides. Chade let go of the one, getting his teeth free so he could defend himself against whoever thought to attack next. The one dog was still alive but hopefully, he’d step out of the fight with the blood flowing down the neck.
