This harsh world

Just as Merc was deciding he was better off turning tail than attacking the large predator alone, the faint sound of running paws caught his attention. Just as he looked across to the sound, the tiger decided to pounce. It bunched its muscles, and before it could move suddenly the strange wolf was there. Grabbing at its tail and throwing off its pounce.

It was almost commial, the way the large cat face planted into the sand in front of it. As it tried to twist and attack whatever was behind it, Merc charged in. aiming a clawed swipe at the side of its neck as he leaped over the cat, and towards the side with the stranger. Landing, he curled his gums and hissed at the cat. Surely now it would think twice about attacking.
