Doomed from the Get-Go

His aggressive demeanor was mirrored by the man, the two of them sharing a moment of snarls and threats before his opponent abruptly surged forward. Sephiran had already set himself on the defense, as he had altered his stance already, knowing he would eventually provoke the male to attack. But despite this, he couldn’t match his opponent's speed. The distance between them closed so quickly, Sephiran didn't have a chance to avoid the body that was hurdling toward him. So, he decided to surge forward, following his opponent to throw his weight into the larger man. At the last moment, he pivoted to his left to try and avoid the full impact, but given his opponent’s sudden change in position, their opposing shoulders collided. Sephiran had to dig his paws into the earth to keep himself from tumbling back, his core tightening as he tried to keep his balance. The impact would surely leave a bruise on the boy’s right shoulder in due time, but that wasn’t something he could worry about right now.

A snarl rippled from his gaping jaws as the man’s fangs sank into where his neck connected to his right shoulder. He reacted instinctively, his head turning towards the male’s face who had just grabbed a mouthful. He attempted to viciously bite the right side of his head, wanting to force him to let go. In sync, he pushed off his hind legs to move forward, hoping to shove his opponent back or disrupt his balance. He kept up his defenses, making sure to keep his core tight, his tail aligned with his spine, and his ears pinned to stay out of the line of fire.
