Sticks and Stones

Her opponent was larger then her but not that large. She had a good six inches on the woman, but that did not intimidate Svanerna in any way. She was a Viking. She was older, more experienced, and confident in her skills. She would not let some girl shake her down. Svan's attacks purchased, but not with ease. Their chests met with ease. Her chest was obviously bruised in those moments, but such a simple injury did not bother her at all. As the Viking leaned up to wrap her forelegs around Athena, her paws smacked down on the white faes shoulders. Such an attack would not grant much pain, if any at all. But, it may have gave her leverage if she were to be lucky. The act of her launching up on her hinds would make their chests slam together once again, proposing perhaps more bruising. So far, she would suffer from bruising within the middle of her chest and the upper bits of her chest from the launching up. Though, as she reached the point of snapping her fangs at Athena's right cheek, leaving a few shallow scrapes behind, but no real purchase was made.

Svanerna took a moment to assess her defenses. Due to her stance. The lady had her hind legs bent enough for stability and mobility. Her claws of her hind legs were stuck into the ground for balance. The lady's ears were of course flat to her skull. The woman's eyes were narrowed to protect the beautiful metallic orbs. Her cheeks were flicked up to show her alabaster fangs and her skin bunched up around her cheeks to protect them. Svan's hind paw's toes were spread as well, to increase balance. The girls tail was aligned with her spine for balance and her shoulders were square. Svanerna's hackles were rolled and puffed up into a thick mess of fatty flesh. The ladies chin was tucked to protect the vital bits of her throat. Last but not least, her core was tightened to keep her breathing stable and her body was ready for impact. The lady was ready for a blood back.

Athena leaned her weight forward. This would caused Svanerna to dig her hind paws back into the ground to ensure her stability for those moments. But, the step forward caused Svan to take a step back, stumbling only the slightest. The taller ladies right foreleg raised and slipped around the Vikings back neck, above her shoulders. The darker fae would be pushed down in result, just because of the size difference. As Athena pushed Svan lover with her leg she shoved her weight forward in attempt to knock the future Queen down. Svanerna grunted as her hind legs were dug into the ground even more, they were getting weaker and weaker. Suddenly, she would fall to the ground and Athena's left paw would come crashing to the side of her neck. This attack would purchase, but her breathing was not tampered with. Now, on the ground, the girl would move her legs beneath her, even if she was pinned to the ground. Though, Athena was not done. Her jaws lurched forward and caught Svan in the left shoulder, right on the top bits. The bite was moderate, enough to spill blood but barely enough to cause any immediate danger.

Svanerna did not like being pinned to the ground. She felt horribly weak in those moments but she would not give up. The Viking waited to asses everything for a few moments. Fist, the girl would try to raise up slightly with her fore paws beneath her. As she did so, the lady attempted to lurch forward quickly to at least get a minor snap at Athena's throat. Even if her chin was tucked, she would try to rip into flesh. Though, as she would come back down, whether the attack purchased or not. She raised her hind legs, standing on them, now in a bowing position. She would attempt to whip her body back and to the right. Her front paws pushing into the ground and her hind ones attempting to step and scatter back. Such a move would aim to help release Athena's grip on her shoulder and perhaps even the paws that were pinning her down. Though, such an attack may cause even more ripping of flesh, if she even got far enough to do anything.
