Kotori had found a new bit of fun. The tiger and the wolf stared at each other. The tiger saw a fast meal and Kotori saw a new pelt. The two circled each other as the tiger schemed whatever tigers schemed and Kotori took in the momentary thrill of the kill.

The tiger finally lunged in two fast strides toward the wolf and Kotori waited for the last moment to sidestep and twist his head to leave slashes in the tiger's side. The wolf was forced to lunge away though as a moment later the cat had circled and was coming back at the wolf.

Kotori had fought more bears than tigers so he wasn’t as used to the cat's attacks. Still, he was getting more used to them as of late. Apparently, the tigers had enjoyed the last season to be more populous this year.

"Kotori"

The weeping trees that reach down toward the small girl have enchanted Seere. She meanders through their branches, letting them tickle her fur as she goes. A small giggle bubbles out as she goes when, unexpectedly the musk of a tiger smacks the girl in her face. Oof. Why do they smell so bad? Crinkling her nose, the girl tries to pinpoint where it is so she can avoid the cat but, instead, finds a familiar scent mixed with it.

Letting out a loud, long-suffering sigh, the small girl takes off, racing to where the tiger squares off with Kotori. If she didn’t know better, the girl might think Ko is actually picking fights with predators! Small, monochrome form appears behind the large feline and, without a sound, the girl rushes up and jumps onto the cat’s back. Oh well, might as well have fun! Teeth latch onto the closest ear, shredding it as the tiger roars in pain and outrage. Silly, kitty, these woods are her’s!

When Seere hops onto the cat’s back it yowls and focuses its full attention on her for a moment.  Turning its attention away from Kotori was pure idiocy even if understandable.  Kotori wastes no time in running in to slam his horns into its thigh, jerking them up in a smooth motion to leave a long gash.  As his head raises up he bites into the leg, fangs biting into an area he had just torn open.  It took hardly any time but did a great job of having the tiger frothing at the mouth in anger.

Kotori hustled out of range of a spinning attack from the tiger.  Fangs and claws had aimed at him but Kotori was gone out of its path.  Had Seere managed to stay on through the tight turns? The leg was bleeding nicely now regardless.  Slashing to a bite was quickly becoming a favored attack to a number of predators.

"Kotori Fatalis"

Seere shreds the cat’s ear and it thrashes it head, trying to unseat the small girl. As Ko rushes in to attack, the girl flattens her body against the tiger, spreading her front legs to grip the cat’s neck. She knows what is coming and she clamps down onto the fur at the back of the feline’s head as it sharply spins to attack Kotori. It does not unset her and as it slashes out at Kotori, Seere raises up to begin to attack the tiger’s head. Growling, she rips a huge chunk out its forehead and is rewarded with a loud yowl. Grinning, the girl once again flattens her body, ready for the cat to try and buck her off but not ready to leave.

"Seere  Abraxas-Destruction"

Between the damage, Seere was doing and the wait on the tiger, along with the damage done to its leg the tiger did something that might surprise Seere.  The cat stumbled, it's one leg not wanting to support the weight of the wolf on it.  It was likely the cat could hardly think clearly around the pain Seere was inflicting on its head, mixing into the rest of its pain.

Kotori was happy to help the tiger go down and stay that way.  The horned wolf ran in, clamping his teeth on a back leg, backing up, and shaking his head.  Sure, he did damage in his bite but even more it was too much for the tiger.  The tiger fell down with a pained snarl.  Its energy was fading, movements sluggish.  The cat knew what was coming.  It would be easy now for Seere to finish it off.

"Kotori Fatalis"

Seere holds onto the tiger’s neck, ready for it to try and buck her off. However, when it stumbles, the small girl is taken completely by surprise and she immediately leaps off its back to get clear of cat. It is injured, dying slowly and painfully, and the girl feels her heart wrench in her chest. Kotori brings down to the earth, the once mighty predator now splayed out in dirt, ready for the cold hand of death to claim it.

Without a word, Seere steps forward, moving to the space in the neck that houses the major arteries. Effortless and quickly, the small girl deals the mortal wound, allowing the tiger to meet its maker much faster. As the light fades from the feline’s eyes, the girl looks up to her friend, sadness lingering in her eyes even as she tries to wag happily at Ko.
