Dangerous Situations

I will not bow, I will not break;
Atreyu found herself once again out west, trying to decide if the band would move this way or not. She had to think strategically about this, because where they moved next would determine their future as well. They would need a more permanent home soon, and Atreyu wanted to ensure that she picked the perfect place for it. Moving along with silent paws, her graceful strides soon brought her to the muddied banks of Wolfpaw Lake. She smiled as she remembered the young pup she took home from here a while back, though she was quickly brought out of her revelry by the sounds of snapping jaws and yipping from nearby.

Running in the direction of the sound in case someone needed help, Atreyu was surprised to see the recognizable form of Sagitarrius and a coyote tangled in a fight. While the younger pup was busy with the one coyote, another had snuck up behind her and was about to pounce. Not on Atreyu's watch. Leaping forward without a thought, Atreyu drew her hawksbill blade and aimed it at the second coyote's side though the creature was quick and moved away in time. It only received a nasty shallow cut from her blade, but the goal was achieved. The coyote had turned its focus onto the larger opponent, the bigger threat, leaving its mate to the mercy of Sagitarrius.

The coyote lunged for Atreyu, jaws splayed open wide, but Atreyu didn't lurch away. Instead, the spotted woman lunged forward to meet the coyote's jaws head-on. Bowing her head, she aimed a nasty headbutt for the lower jaw of the coyote, catching it off guard and finding itself with a dislocated jaw instead of a victim. The attack cost Atreyu a few cuts on her forehead, but it was worth it. The coyote was rendered defenseless for the most part and Atreyu went in for the kill. Bowling the coyote over, Atreyu took the claws from it and aimed her teeth for the throat. With a sharp twist of her head, the coyote went limp beneath her massive frame. Teach them to mess with her friends.
