Born For This

Quill flashes his teeth at Strix, earning the annoying sibling a huge eyeroll from the smaller boy before they both rush in to attack. They attack the leg, the grizzly roaring in pain and confusion. Then the mastiffs arrive, swarming the bear’s legs and some even leaping onto the grizzly’s back. Quill rushes in, going under the bear to bite at the soft belly. It roars in fear and uncertainty as they all attack and that is when Strix’s small form rushes in, leaping up to grab ahold the bear’s muzzle. Eyes flash with deadly delight as he looks into the doomed grizzly’s eyes, keeping his hold on the beast’s muzzle as he watches the life slowly drains from its eyes.

Only when its death throes have ceased does Strix release the dead grizzly’s muzzle to look at Quill. As annoying as his brother is, the smaller boy cannot deny that he is a great fighter. Huffing an irritated sigh, he grounds out, “Not bad Quill.” It almost physically hurts Strix to say that but he does want to acknowledge that his sibling can fight. Even if he has to give a huge eyeroll for the snappy quip that is sure to follow.
