Bearer of bad news

Before Alaric would get to the mountain lion, it stranger wolf appeared from the depths of the garden and attacked the mountain lion's shoulder. This caused Alaric to pause temporarily before charging forwards anyways. Alaric went for the back leg of the mountain lion, his maws splayed open and latched onto the hind left leg.

Maul and Cinder both let out defensive, deep, barks. They bluff charged the mountain lion in hopes of distracting it from their companion's attack. Their barks were loud and repetitive, they would snap near the mountain lion's face. The mountain lion would hiss and swipe it's claws towards Maul, who backed up in the nick of time.
