Too Big For Our Britches

Birna slinked toward the battlefield, enjoying the cool of the morning and the chattering birds that welcomed the sun. She had a good feeling about today. Perhaps she would best her next opponent and gain more skills for future spars. That sentiment was cut short as she caught the scent of hyena. Ugh… not these beasts again. Still, she supposed it would be worth a spar if she could find one that spoke and had the intelligence to understand the premise.

She was out of luck for she spied four hyenas rushing a familiar pup and she sprang into action. A single leap nearly closed the distance, a second leap brought her soundly on top of the lead hyena. It shrilly yelped and the others scattered in surprise as she pinned the squirming creature to the ground.
