United in Grief

Caedes lunged towards the lion, but surprisingly it suddenly recoiled and collided with another wolf behind it. That’s some shit luck. The scarred brute's eyes narrowed briefly, teeth bared as he instinctively attacked the lion's shoulder, without pausing to consider the unintended bystander. His jaws found purchase on the feline's flesh, sinking deep and drawing forth a spurt of blood as he tore off a chunk. In retaliation, the lion swiped at him, claws grazing his shoulder as he leaped back, spitting out the flesh onto the ground and offering a smug smirk in return. Come on then, his burning emeralds seemed to challenge the cat.
