Lights Out

Within seconds, the small cavern tucked away in the abyss of the Mines became a whirlwind of teeth and claws. The bleak lighting made it difficult to see, especially for the young Zagan- but his resolve was absolute, the desire to fight until he could no longer stand driving him forward.

If it weren’t for the woman and his panther, he wouldn’t have stood a chance- but he couldn’t dwell on that. It would make him bitter, make him angry. Because weakness was not allowed in The Syndicate kingdom.

And so, Zagan would fight, sinking his puppy teeth into the cougar’s tail, as he sought to secure a firm hold. But suddenly, the beast was shuffling forward - someone was disrupting its balance, most likely - which made Zagan lurch forward too. He stretched his front legs out, unsheathing his claws and grabbing onto the cougar’s hind end. Still, he was being dragged forward - his tiny body was light and fragile compared to the beasts’ - so his hind legs were clumsily swaying as he struggled to keep himself from falling over.

His panther was still draped over the cougar, trying to bite down into the back of its neck hard enough to deliver a fatal blow- but it was having difficulty.
