Lion heart
Predator fight + Armor crafting
Dunkan and Urasa had a mission on their minds. This would be dangerous and they knew that they couldn’t play around once all of this began, and what is that quest? That goal? Dunkan was ready to obtain his first armor, he was ready to add something new to his warrior arsenal. And after a few weeks of thinking which animal he wanted to get armor from he decided a lion could be an excellent choice. A mane could protect his neck and the skull on his head. But a lion wasnt a game, if a bear was difficult he felt a lion would be worse, a suicide. And alone he held lesser chances of winning. So as he made his way through the grass he and Urasa kept their eyes and noises ready. And there he found a figure at the distance. Silently they took cover on a bush and from there a lonely male lion was there. It seemed hurt, he could smell it. Lion kill 1/3 Crafting 0/3 |
Blue eyes narrowed over the unwell feline who the Templar hoped would become a good armor soon. He wanted to feel powerful and like the mighty warrior, he was by using such a thing when he was up to the battle. He didnt just want to be deadly but look as if he was. Maybe these predator hunts could help him raise his confidence back to where it was, he knew his young pack needed his strength and capability to fight. He had to be ready to destroy whoever threatened his home. The massive bear hunt he had a few weeks ago did help and gave him more desires to fight away. And there he considered his options as he watched the lion walk with a limp on their back leg and the way it walked made it look like they weren’t aware of their surroundings. Well, he could use that to his advantage. But there a familiar face came to the view though he didn’t know their name. But leaving that aside for now he focused again on the felid but it charged toward the stranger. As long as they didnt damage the face and mane too much he was fine as those were the parts he was going to use for his armor. And like that he charged forward with ears flat and bared fangs. Urasa followed but he was going to act as a distraction and thus Dunkan aimed to bite on the lion’s back with a crushing bite. The goal was to kill it so today there wouldnt be mercy. |
His bite was deep as his fangs connected with the feline’s back. Blood poured from the wound that he just provided. Urasa would wrap his legs around the lion’s backside, bitting on the spine to try immobilizing it so the two wolves could perform best. The other wolf received a claw marking from the lion, Dunkan narrowed his eyes and would try catching the lions paw on his jaws trashing his head away. He wanted to take away the dangerous claws out of the combat. Now she would wrap his legs over and try getting his jaws under this to get a good hold on the throat and like that bite hard. |
The intense combat kept going and thanks to both Urasa and the other wolf he was able to lock his jaws around the lion's jugular. Of course, it struggled and in a second it managed to claw his left shoulder trying to make him let go but he wasnt going to. He wasnt one to give up and leave unfinished what he started. No, he was to always fight to the end for what he wanted, and even if it caused pain he wasnt going to let go. And like that the lion started to lose strength and finally it was gone.
With his jaws dripping blood, he turned at the stranger with his cold blue eyes. "I am, and you?" He shook his fur before sitting down. Now the harder part was to begging. Armor creation. "By any who do you know how to make an armor? I am hoping to use the lion's head and mane for one." He wasnt to ask for help but he wasnt stupid and he knew it was necessary today if he wanted the Armor.
"Speech!"
OC- Lion fight 3/3
Crafting 0/3
Himself was fine, the claw marks on his shoulder weren't deep,so he should be fine with some rest. He wasnt too concerned with having himself hurt, that was obvious to happen for those with the job of the warrior. But leaving that to a side he focused on what he wanted.
"I have made hide bracers before. I've never made a helmet out of a lion head before but we can try. We'll have to detach the head from the rest of the body." "Is that I wanted the mane and skull." From there he observed what they did. But soon he joined them and did the same. "After we remove the head and neck I guess we'll have to peel off the skin. Do you want the skull?" "The skull and the mane." He took some minutes to think. "Or we could get just the skin and Mane."
"Speech!"
"Ok, we'll need to remove the hide. Next we'll clean the meat off the skull and remove the brain. Then we can stick the hide back on with pine pitch." The wolf seemed quite wise, or at least way more than himself. And this made him even more interested in learning more from them. And thus he listened to his words with all of his focus on them. "Then let's do what you say. Please let me know if i am doing anything i shouldn't." He commented as he moved to do what he made, paying attention to the way he skinned the lion. In a way he had never seen before. And like that he helped them.
And at the end, they pulled the skin with the mane in one peace. Just what he wanted, now the skull and brain were to be cleaned. But how? "And how do you clean the fresh and brain?"
"Speech!"
Dunkan nodded upon Star's command. He didnt want to be useless now, as this was seen as a lesson of sort. Someday he would make one alone, and what he could learn from the stranger was currently wanted. In cases like this, he regretted leaving the Armada before learning how to make armors but well, there was no solution nor benefits from complaining. Right now he was learning, and that was what mattered now.
He made as told, removing the meat from the hide, being extremely careful to not damage it. But while he did, he looked at the other wolf. Removing the brain, was graphic but he didnt mind. He was calm. He knew that in the path he was in, of a warrior death could be a common situation, blood, and such things and perhaps he would have to perform killing but not like he would do so of the fun of it.
Later the stranger spoke about fire. He couldn't lie, he was curious with fire and how to make it, and in silence he observed.
"Speech!"
"Ok, I just need to heat this up and it will act like glue. We can spread it on the skull and then attach the hide." He nodded once more as he took note of all they were doing. Perhaps he could replicate what he learned today for any further armors he ever made later on. And then, they waited until it became more liquified and like that as a show of magic Star placed both the mane and the skull together. He was impressed, something very hard to archive on Dunkan's behalf.
