Verdant Veil

Pressed against his panther’s foreleg, Zagan was preparing himself for an onslaught, anticipating the need to drive the tigress away, if it didn’t back down. It would be tough for the two of them, but Zagan was somewhat versed in fighting large cats- he sparred with his panther often, and had run into the pack's tigress, Azoula, a few times. But this was different- the tiger was searching for a meal. It was out for blood. So it wasn’t going to back down so easily.

The tiger crept forward, ready to lunge again- but a sudden flash of grey and blue stopped it, as a larger, but younger male wolf jumped out of the bushes, and stood bedside Zagan. He was taken by surprise, but he was also intrigued- the boy seemed younger than him, but he was bigger than him. But the Saxe didn’t have time to dwell on it- the tiger was coming at them again, swiping a large paw at his panther, trying to draw it away from the two wolf pups. Zagan snarled and lunged forward, biting onto the tiger's other foreleg while its attention was focused on his panther. He wouldn’t let it get away so easily.
