Who's Laughing Now?

Strix distracts the hyenas that aim for his father, lunging, snapping, growling, shifting positions… a deadly dance that has been performed for thousands of years. His father wounds two of cackling, screaming beasts as the small boy keeps the rest back and with two of the group having second thoughts about the attacking wolves, Strix spares his father a glance.

The boy reads where his black and white father is going to attack next and as Chimera charges toward the largest of the lot, Strix is right behind him, snarling and snapping at the hyenas that they pass. His father engages the chosen target and the small boy hangs back, fending off the rest while his sire gives them a reason never to step over Fenmyre borders again.
