Ginger Snap Cat

His heart pounded harder than it ever had before. Blood roared in his ears and the adrenaline pumped through him. He stared wide-eyed at the beast, tail tucking as he pressed himself against the wall. There was absolutely nowhere for him to go, and he had dared take his eyes off the lion in search of an exit route. That was all the time the lion needed to be ready for an assault, but before it was able to, it roared in pain as a couple of furry rockets shot for its hind legs. He had been so occupied with the lion, he hadn't noticed the appearance of the wolf and his companions behind the lion. A moment later, Eligos had managed to get between himself and the beast.

Morax took a moment to wrap his head around what was happening. Between the blood roaring in his ears, and the lion's roars of pain from his hind legs being shredded by the malinois dogs, he stood frozen in place. It was only when he saw Eligos slam the lion that the pup decided he wanted to help too. Maybe four against one would make the beast reconsider and retreat, or maybe they'd end up needing to kill it if it decided to continue fighting.

Morax wasn't tiny, but he was still young and not quite full-grown just yet. Lanky legs propelled him forward, and he aimed to throw his body into the lion to further try and unbalance him. Jaws flung open, teeth cutting the lion's skin and drawing some blood. For a moment, it appeared as if the lion wanted to retaliate, but with the other three attackers, it couldn't seem to figure out who to go after.
