Blood for the Blood Gods

The tall Basilisk barks a laugh at her comment about siblings and Andy’s grin grows into a smile. He speaks of it depending on which sibling and she dips her head in agreement, adding, “Yeah. If I had a sibling as big as you to spar with, I bet I could fight off anything!” Happy giggle erupts from her mouth and they make their way to the woods, the small pup trotting eagerly along with her new friend.

A screech suddenly pulls the pups attention up to the sky and her brow furrows in confusion. Without warning, Andromeda feels the familiar tug of someone grabbing her scruff and instinct has her tucking her legs up to her body. The world shifts as Basilisk, with her in tow, dives to the side to avoid a huge cat dropping out of the tree. As the pressure on her scruff releases, Andy untucks her body and springs up to her paws, lips pulling back to show her sharp, needle teeth to the big, mean cat.

Bas barks an order to her and the purple pup moves to comply, small body turning so that Andy can dart out from under Basilisk’s frame and race around the tiger to its backend. Once there, Andy releases a loud, high-pitched snarl and leaps up at the swishing tail, working to harass and distract the mean tiger as much as possible.
