Hard Luck Love (OLYMPUS)

Her hips strike their intended target, albeit for whatever reasons the woman does not topple despite the attack being aimed to land as Katja raises up, but Virgil does not let her mind focus upon such things. What happens happens, and she will roll with the punches. Alas, it seems gravity is a swifter foe than Virgil would have imagined. The dark-pelted woman lands, Virgil?s upwards motion and Katja?s movements making Virgil?s attack miss, regardless of a counter. Alas, the golden woman does not intend to make herself vulnerable.
Hind legs bend, and she takes a few shaky steps to her left, seeking to bring herself behind Katja?s right side neck, hopefully facing the back of Katja?s skull instead of being engaged in a perpendicular position. As she rises, Katja?s jaws scrape across the middle bridge of Virgils snout, moderate lacerations welling upon the thin flesh there, but otherwise the Empress is fine from the jaws. Due to her upwards rise, her leftward rotation, and the lack of flesh on the bridge of her snout, the viking?s jaws would not obtain a grip. Her weight, however, manages to plant itself upon the other woman?s back.
Now, in the Empress?s opinion, it ought to be her turn.
Defenses never fade; two grounded limbs spread equally apart, weight evenly distributed across them as her hind knees bend deeply to ensure as much balance as possible. Toes spread, claws seek ot bite into the ground for traction. Tail lashes out behind her, hoping to ensure as much balance as possible whilst she is risen. Hackles raise, shoulders roll as much as possible considering her position, head seeks to keep as aligned with her body as it can, neck scrunches every bit it finds itself capable of, chin tucks as much as possible, jaws part, eyes narrow, ears pin back, muscles tense ever so slightly in preparation.
Katja?s forward charge results in only a slight bruise against Virgil?s lower middle chest, due to the golden woman?s rising and her leftward movement, accompanied with a few backwards steps, which seeks to stop in an attempted V-like position (well, it would have a chance at being v-like if Virgil were on the ground with all fours). She seeks to charge forth, left front paw seeking to extend, her left elbow aiming to dig into the woman?s back (hoping to hit the dead center, aiming for the intersection of the middle of Katja?s back both length wise and width wise) Meanwhile her muscular frame moves forwards, right front leg extending similarly elbow seeking to implant itself deep within Katja?s back, aiming just behind Katja?s right shoulder blade. Chest seeks to slam into the woman?s right side, aiming about midway up her bodice and seeking to land a little bit beyond where the shoulder ends. She wishes to drive into the woman, to attempt to dig her elbows into painful points on her spine and push her down.
Jaws lower, hoping to attempt an attack midway between Virgil?s two attacking elbows length-wise, aim for the spine. She seeks to aim her jaws on the spinal area directly above the deepest bow of the chest, head shaking viciously. She hopes to dig her teeth beyond risen hackles and into bone, hoping to crush and destroy. This is for her children, and any who seek to part the golden Empress from her children will learn a terrible lesson about the wrath of the Olympians.
