Tarnish's exploration of Auster continued, this time he headed along the east coast, looking to see if there was anything interesting out this way. He'd heard that the pirates once had a location here, out on an island somewhere. At the moment though he just wandered along the cove, crunching on various treats left exposed by the retreating tide. He didn't think much of it til he caught a bizarre smell. He looked up to see a strange canine-type creature but it was bent over, legs short and with a slightly smashed in face and muzzle. "The fuck are you supposed to be?"

The hyena looked back at him, understanding completely lost on its face before it suddenly charged toward him. Tarnish scrambled out of the way and nearly collided with another one. He leapt over a tide pool, backing himself toward the ocean as a pack of four hyenas moved toward him.

Trixy had been on her way to help out Beauregard with some of his patrolling and then she had been hoping to con Garm into helping her more. She had doned her new equipment, hoping to show beau her hard work on making her gear. But a sound in the middle of her moving to find Beau had her stopping and changing direction. The cove bordered their home and she hadn't been there before but had seen it from their borders. She knew to be careful about the tides there.

The pixies eyes narrowed as she saw the scene unfolding on the beach. Four hyenas had a boy cornered. She didn't think twice. She gripped her dagger from her vest and charged down the beach at them. She went ramming into one of their hips and driving her horn deep into its leg muscle. The call it made was akin to a scream of surprise and a yelp of pain as it was sent tumbling. It would leave an opening for the boy to escape if he wanted but these predators were too close to her home for her to let them leave unscathed today.

She spun to face a second and drove towards it with her dagger aiming to slice into its belly. She was an unexpected whirlwind these beasts hadn't expected. Norad protected others though, so she wouldn't falter.

Tarnish snarled, hackles raised. He was a good deal bigger than these creatures but they had the numbers. Her smirked, well if they thought he'd just roll over they were mistaken. However, before he could dive into the fray a small burst of color collided with one of the hyenas and it yowled in pain. The momentary distraction was Tar's cue as he launched himself at the nearest hyena, his jaws latching into the side of its neck, just behind the jawline. It started shrieking and the nearby hyena raced toward Tarnish. As its head lunged for his face he lashed out with his claws, raking them across the hyena's face and sending it scattering back. The one in his jaws flailed harder but he would not let go, using his superior size to force it down on the ground.

I don't care, go on and tear me apart She felt satisfaction as her dagger made purchase in a hyenas side as it came at her, its teeth had found purchase in the flesh of her side though. But the dagger meeting its flesh had it yowling. As it did she dug the dagger in harder. She growled as it reeled backwards, ripping itself free. Her eyes went to the one she had barreled into as the one she had stabbed fell over the top of it. Her ears pinned. She had evened the odds for the boy. Her body burst forward and she swung her head at the one she had stabbed. Her dagger was drove into its throat and she heat moving pushing until it was on the ground. Her eyes cut to the one she had barreled into as it tried getting up, its leg had made a snapping sound as the other went over the top of it. Good. It was fighting with three legs. Then she heard the sound of frank coming, his antlers down and aiming for one of the hyenas attacking the boy. She gave the boy a grin as she danced out of the path of frank and the one with the now broken legs snapping jaws. Walk, "Talk", Think I don't care if you do

Tarnish bit down harder and harder, holding firm as the hyena twisted until finally it ripped himself from him. It raced away but was now missing a good chunk of its face which Tarnish spat out. The other one was based into by the girl's horned company and with a yelp it also turned tail and ran. Tarnish returned the girls grin and let out a yell of triumph. "Yea, how do you like us now ya stupid fucks!" There was one more hyena that went for him, trying to get him while his back was turned but Tarnish heard it coming, hell he could smell it coming! He whirled around, claws out, striking the hyena across the face once, then twice, bashing it brutally every time it tried to turn its jaws to him. It scrambled back, shrieking suddenly as a claws pierced its eye, slicing the eyeball right open.

She was happy enough to help this boy. She may not of known him, but letting someone die wasn't on her to do list.

She turned her head and rimmed into the broken legged hyena again. Sending it flopping just as it almost got back up. They may be heavier than her but she wouldn't let that stop her. The yelp of the hyena was met with a snarl. And she narrowed her eyes as it staggered back to its legs, only for it to take off after another retreating hyena. She gave a indignant snort and nod of her head.

After she was sure they were gone she turned her head and sheathed her dagger. Then turned to the boy. "You aren't hurt are ya?" he didn't look hurt but one never knew. She shook her pelt out and moved to greet him then. "Bellatrix Ravenwood, Regium of Norad. Who might you be?" She gave him a friendly smile and dip of her head. He smelled like a pack wolf but not one she knew of. Frank moved then to stand near her keeping an eye and ear out for more trouble. Could always count on the reindeer to know when there was danger about.
