More Dazzling than the Lights

A tiger, three different kinds of bears, and a pack of rabid, cannibalistic wolves... When they started out their day together with a fight she hadn't realized that would be an omen for how this entire day was going to go. They were tired and sore with more than a few kinds of blood splattered across them, some of it on her head, a lot on her paws and around her muzzle and chest. At this point she was just ready to get home and take a bath and never go toward another mine ever again. But, even still, as she glanced toward Saracyn beside her, she couldn't help the little smile that tugged at her lips. Fighting along side him was always something that brought her a thrill and made her feel incredibly strong and capable, but even more than that she could see how much he cared and the way he would fight tooth and nail for her without hesitation. It was something she loved about her brother and something that only proved that her putting her full trust in him was never misplaced.

Her gaze turned toward him as he apologized for how their day together had gone, the only other sound around them the crunching of their paws through the snow. A smile tugged at her lips when he said how he had still had a good time with her and her tail wagged gently behind her as she replied, "I had a good time with you too... Cannibalistic wolves and all." That was certainly going to be a story she'd be telling for quite some time. She chuckled softly and was about to continue reminiscing on the other crazy encounters they had gotten into when she saw how her twin's expression changed and saw him freeze in place. She froze as well, looking at him with a questioning look in her obsidian gaze, following his lead for whatever it was that he had seen.

Once he explained that the reason he had stopped was the snow leopard stalking them behind her she understood and she started to prep herself fro yet another fight. In seemed like the entire world was seemingly determined to make it as exceedingly difficult as possible for them to get home as possible. She opened her mouth to respond only to be cut off by a flash of movement over Saracyn's shoulder. Faster than she could react, a second snow leopard appeared from out of the shadowed, evening darkness and landed on Saracyn's back. "Sara!" she gasped and immediately leapt into action, reaching up to lock her jaws onto the spotted cat's foreleg. She knew from her own claws that she'd just do more harm than good to Sara if she tried to just yank the feline off of him, so she bit hard and fast, twisting her head to tear into the ligaments in its elbow. That earned a pained yowl from the snow leopard and at least rendered one of its legs useless, but that was all she could manage before the other leopard was on her, its large paws grappling around her neck.
