let the ravens gather

The male tightened his grip on her foreleg, the fangs sinking deeper and tearing as he pushed into her, changing the angle of the teeth and widening the wounds. She ignored the pain radiating up the leg, concentrating on the more immediate issue of keeping her precarious balance. She could not hope to get the leverage to move him back, but she hunched her back and dug in her hindclaws, trying to at least arrest his forward momentum a little. He let go of her leg to push further, and Katja found herself losing ground rapidly, backpedaling, her balance further disrupted by her neck contorting further and further to her right in an attempt to retain the grip she'd obtained on his neck. Just as she'd made the decision to pull back, to solidify her stance and her jaws were pulling away from him and preparing to swing back into a more natural position, his head snapped back. The blow caught her on the right side of her muzzle, driving her teeth together with a sharp click. Pain blossomed out, first from the severe bruising along the right side of her bottom jaw where his head had hit, then as that pain faded she became aware of more minor wounds - a nick in the left side of her tongue where the edge was caught between her teeth as her jaws were forced shut, and the gash on her right lip where it had been driven against her canine. Despite it all, she kept her defenses as solid as possible. Her eyes remained narrowed, the brow and muzzle around them crinkling, the skin bunched up to provide extra protection. Her ears pressed back against her skull, her hackles raised like the quills of a porcupine. Her hind legs, the only ones on the ground, were spread wide for added balance as well as placed far from Helios' body for a more stable angle - her body was hunched in an attempt to put an fairly equal weight on her forelegs, weight evenly distributed side to side as well. The toes of her hindpaws were splayed to increase the surface area touching ground, the claws digging into the earth even as the blunt foreclaws attempted to grip Helios' body. Her tail flagged behind her, whipping back and forth as needed for balance. Her shoulders rolled forward, adding to her hunched appearance and her head pulled back, her scruff bunching up to protect her neck and her chin tilted down to protect her throat... until she made her move. Blinking through the pain she straightened slightly from her hunched position, the lowering of his head forcing her forelegs even more loose, and stepped back with her right hind leg, attempting to let his momentum pivot her on her remaining point of contact so that she could face his right shoulder. She attempting to readjust her forearms, hoping to reattain a grip with her left foreleg draped over his shoulders and her right aiming to hook around his lower neck at the chest. Immediately she attempted to aim another bite to the same point on his neck where it met his skull. This time, with blood bubbling from her mouth as she snarled and the ache in her jaw and her leg, with the memory of having been torn and shredded by this male's kin driving her from polite warrior to viking bersekr, she meant the bite to crush and destroy rather than simply squeeze and hold, wanted to grind bone to powder within her jaws. She wanted him limp beneath her, one less Olympian to foul the world with their presence. KATJA vs HELIOS for OLYMPUS Round 2/3 OOC Notes: Feel free to skype me with questions. |
