Shakin' Off The Rust

There had been reports of a pack of wild dogs prowling in Emerald Valley and, since the land borders Insomnia, Enki has decided to face this threat head on. With Ripper, one of Medusa’s children, in tow, the pair move out of Insomnia’s lands and toward the area where the dogs had last been seen. Before they had set out, the pale man had given Ripper strict instructions to stay close and be careful because, while the boy needs to learn how to fight, Enki does not wish him to be hurt.

They travel quickly to where the animals had been spotted and, as they near, they can smell the rank odor of the mangy pack. With a look to Ripper, he dips his head, signaling for the fight to begin. Large paws push off the earth as he darts forward, finding five mutts prowling around, unsuspecting of the wolves that now fly in to assault them. Enki zeros in on the largest of the group, its boxy head and thick neck imposing to say the least.

Yet, that does not deter him as he rushes toward the stocky dog, eyes blazing with ferocity, as he snarls loudly, announcing their presence for all to hear. Enki slams headlong into the dog, sending it sprawling to the ground as he quickly positions himself over it. Tail curls up over his back as his lips peel back, showing his glistening white teeth for the other four predators in the area before he reaches down and grabs ahold of the neck of the doomed dog. It can’t even yelp in alarm as he swiftly separates its throat from its body and Enki lifts his blood-filled mouth to spit the dogs throat at the nearest enemy.

One down, four to go.
