Finally, finally. Katja's fangs bared in a berseker grin, a ready snarl welcoming the Olympian's words. Enough cat-footing around, there would be blood and glory and a seat awaiting her in Valhalla if she were killed and what more could matter? Pride and the pack be damned for the moment, now with the adrenaline coursing through her and the surety of her enemy it was ecstasy. Last they'd met in battle she'd not felt one way or another about Virgil Olympus, only taking care out of respect for Raisa but the outcome of that battle had left its mark in her very soul, giving rise to a dark hatred that she could no more control than she could the gods. Raisa was not here. Let the feral beast within awake.

Katja's stance shifted into one more squared, her weight held evenly and lightly on all four limbs, her joints loose and bent and ready to spring. Her toes spread and flexed to grip the ground, her blunt claws driving into the dirt. Her head lowered and her tail raised, both to the level of her spine and in the same motion her shoulders rolled forward and her chin tucked in. All along her spine and neck hackles raised as her ears pinned back to them, her eyes narrowing and her facial skin twisting the loose skin there into some semblance of protection for her eyes.

The larger woman charged, and Katja did not stand her ground. She sprang forward as well, attempting to aim her own trajectory at a thirty-five degree angle to her own left. She was hoping to realign them, to bring the front of her own right shoulder to the right side of Virgil's chest. She would still take a hefty blow in the form of major bruising to the front of her right shoulder from the Olympus woman's extra weight if it landed but she was in no mood to simply dodge to the side - she wanted the Olympian to hurt as well. (counter?)

The change of position between them moves Katja's head as well and rather than striking her left eye Virgil's fangs scissor into the now-closer right side of Katja's face, the fangs coming together as Katja jerked away to gouge two short, deep lines angled from the outer corner of her eye to intercept in a sharp shape reminiscent of a sideways letter V. She retaliated before the pain of her wound had even hit her by attempting to land her own bite on Virgil's muzzle while it was hopefully still close, Katja's neck arching up and to her right to keep her chin somewhat tucked in as she did in a bid to keep her throat somewhat covered and her scruff bunched. She wished to catch the top of Virgil's muzzle, her top fangs aiming to catch the left side while her bottom fangs sought the right side in an attempt to punch through the relatively delicate area there into her sinuses, wanting to crunch the nasal bone between her jaws. Blood poured from the wound bracketing her eye coat the side of her neck, the little triangle-flap at the outside of it hanging loosely, an irritation in addition to the pain that worsened as her jaws gaped but she reveled in it, welcomed it for it would be what would set her above.

By springing to the side Katja had also saved her left paw from potential crushing but alas she brought her right side into range and she let out a throaty yowl of rage and pain as Virgil's paw stamped down upon her right forepaw and twisted. Readjusting her weight to her other limbs and sitting back slightly to take the weight off the trapped paw she tightened her jaws against the pain and tugged sharply in an attempt to free it, feeling as she did the ache of bruising from most of the metacarpals but the toe on the very outside that had born the brunt of the twisting motion without any support gave a pulse of pain that spoke of a fracture. It wouldn't be completely useless but it would be a very painful distraction that she could not afford.




Katja vs Virgil for Yfir challenge

Round 1/3

Defenses: second paragraph


Attacks: shifting over so her right shoulder hits the right side of Virgil's chest (counter? maybe? idk), bite to top of Virgil's muzzle in an attempt to puncture sinus cavity/crush nasal bone


Injuries: possible bruising to front of right shoulder (pending counter), short but deep slices in this shape > bracketing the outside of her right eye, badly bruised toes in her right paw and one broken

OOC Notes: if the directions don't make any sense they may just be wrong... did my best to catch them but some backwards directions may have slipped in.
