Halcyon Awaits!

Caedes absolutely throttled the coyote to the ground, his teeth snapping at its face, making purchase against its delicate cheek skin. It was brutal the way he ripped away that section of its face, spitting it to the side as he readjusted his bite. However, just as he was about to go for the killing blow on the coyote’s throat, another coyote began to bite at his flank. And then another. At his side, darting in to deliver quick, slashing blows before leaping out of his reach again.

Caedes couldn’t let that slide. He ignored their efforts to distract him, those massive jaws lowering to snap his initial opponent's throat before he was finally able to whirl around, a paw shooting out to bat the coyote at his flank away. He sent it more or less flying, turning his attention to the other and barreling his weight into it. There was a lesson to be learned in all this, and it was that they could have gotten away had they only left their kill to him.

He briefly managed to hear the sound of another skirmish to his side, but his eyes did not glance over in favor of finishing his current task of dispatching these little beasts.
