Never Bow Down

ooc: sorry for the wait! Also, Tea and I discussed in the cbox extending our post deadline to a week.
Poison dripping off my fangs... D?gmar's eyes widened at the males brazen move as his body dropped to slide under her. Whatever she'd been expecting it wasn't that. Not only was she the slightly shorter one, with her body already slightly lowered from her attack it was bound to be a tight fit for her opponent. Smaller opponents had tried to slip under her before she'd never had a larger one try it. Oh this brute was something else and it both thrilled her, the thought of his body sliding along hers, and filled her with fear. Because she could not see his attack nor would waste the movement to see she assumed in her caution that he was going for her belly. Heart racing, adrenaline shot through her body at the dose of fear that jolted through her nerves. This was a spar but she did not know this brute. It was always possible for the fight turn more serious and for her to be none the wiser. But she loved that feeling, the risk. While many wolves shunned fear as some sort of weakness she saw it as a necessary tool in any fighters survival kit. As long as she kept control over it, the fear kept her alive. And it was time for D?gmar to roll with Loki's punches. D?gmar's fangs grazed Loki's left shoulder blade, blossoming a shallow wound. As Loki was now sliding under her D?gmar's shoulder strike missed completely but it wasn't all a loss. She let her own momentum carry her to the left with her left shoulder leading, her body already in a subtle arc as she pushed off with her right legs which would then recoil close to her body, D?gmar's left limbs bent and coiled to bear her weight, tail thrashing counter clockwise to help her shift her movement into a controlled fall on her left side that would turn into roll. She exhaled to prepare for the blow. Fangs sliced into her right hind foot squarely between her paw and heel as his jaws lunged forward and her limb recoiled up. The wound caused her to wince in pain as two lines of split skin traced the front of the foot horizontally. Thankfully they were shallow but the pain would prove a dangerous burden if the fight lasted long as she needed all four to bear her weight unflinchingly to be at the top of her game. At the same time Loki's head and shoulders were already pushing along her chest as he tried to squeeze under her and she let the movement unbalance her in her own favor as she fell to the left. With their bodies already in contact from the brute squeezing under her his thrusting up failed to bruise her undersides and instead helped her over. Though as she was already falling when he performed this move she'd didn't take the full brunt of it. D?gmar landed on her left side on her left thigh and shoulder, head held up from the ground as her spine twisted in a single roll to flip her over onto her belly, legs coiled under her like a sphynx. Her angle was now 45? facing in towards the brutes right hind leg. Sinewy muscle uncoiled as D?gmar launched herself forward, claws digging into the dirt for propulsion as she kept her attack low. Jaws parted and fangs bared seeking to dig into his right hind leg just above the heel with the hope of closing her jaws around it and ripping into the peroneus brevis where it tapered down along the sides and front of the ankle. While the achilles tendon ran along the back of this target it was not her goal to cripple him. The blow was meant to shred muscle, rather than to hold as she didn't want to risk straining her lower jaw or neck. And depending on her opponents movement and if she hit maybe she could make him trip or stumble. Head tilting to left to make her strike her shoulders rolled forward, forcing flesh and muscle over her throat which could potentially be left exposed if the brute whirled around. In particular her right front leg shot forward tilting her body further to the left with the goal of putting her right front fore leg in front of his right hind limb below the knew to enhance her chance of tripping him. D?gmar's tail flowed to the right to offset her leftward movement and help her keep her balance as her weight shifted to her left. Her hind limbs would follow to bunch herself up like a spring, legs tense and coiled, toes splayed, ready to unwind if she failed. D?gmars ears were still pinned and her fur and hackles still on end in response to her adrenaline. The fight wasn't over yet. D?gmar vs Loki SPAR Round: 2 of 3 Attack: Lunging low for Loki's lower right hind leg just above the heel in the hopes of scoring a shredding blow to where the peroneus brevis tapers down to the hock, hoping this will cause him to trip. Her right front foreleg is also thrusting forward in the hopes of catch his lower right hind leg and adding more effect to her goal of tripping her opponent. anatomy reference used: http://artofalexdawes.blogspot.com/2012/09...olf-muscle.html Defenses: Ears pinned, fur and hackles raised, legs coiled, toes splayed, shoulders rolled forward, stance widened. Injuries: Light bruising to shoulders and hips from her drop and roll. Two shallow cuts across the front of her right hind foot. |
