It's The Eye Of The Tiger...
It's the thrill of the fight... (Chimera)

The small Klein boy catches the tiger’s attention and as it turns, his father rips open the sensitive flesh behind the cat’s elbow. The feline understands the danger and turns to run, Strix falling in beside his father to chase the tiger from their territory. This is when he feels the most alive, racing alongside his huge sire, showing just how strong he is.
While he may not have been gifted with height like his brothers, it does not stop him from fighting any less. He adapts, changes tactics, and overcomes… and it feels like his father sees him. All the small boy wants is make his family proud and, every time he looks on his father’s face, he wants to see pride. Maybe it is a selfish desire but it drives Strix to do better.
The tiger feels the two wolves behind it and the smaller wolf rushes up every now and again to nip at its front paws as a reminder. He never puts himself in needless danger and soon the invisible border of their territory appears. The feline breaks the line, not slowing as it flees from the two Klein wolves. Putting on the brakes, Strix slows until he comes to a soft stop next to his father. Mismatched gaze turns up to Chimera, a small grin appearing as he enjoys this time with his dad.
