You Don't See That at SeaWorld

As they charged out from their hiding place, the leopard seal twisted its body to face its attackers. It snapped its jaws, barking at them to deliver a clear warning. Attack and die. But the boys wouldn’t be deterred by the danger, even though they were at a serious disadvantage. Their paws were slippery on the ice, and the water’s edge was only a few yards away. Their only hope of success would be if they could keep it out of the water long enough to bleed out.

With Aresenn at his side, Sephiran moved forward, a guttural snarl bellowing from inside his chest. He snapped at the creature, barking and lunging forward before reeling himself back a few feet. He nearly slipped while doing so, but his actions were meant to distract the seal, so Aresenn could make a move. The seal smacked its tail against the ice, which caused a wave of vibration before it slid forward to pursue the Saxe boy.
