Following the reunion of heathens, Sephiran had kept a close eye on the boy who followed Elysia. Claiming he was her brother, and yet she had arrived to the continent without him. Was it much different than he and his siblings? Still, Sephiran wasn’t convinced he was worthy. Not until he tested the boy himself. And so, as dawn broke the horizon, illuminating the nighttime sky with an array of orange and yellow hues, Sephiran emerged from the shadows. Following Ezekiel’s scent, tracking him through the Polar Sound- and finding him alone, sauntering through the territory.

Sephiran was forward in his advance- domineering, haughty, powerful. Attempting to approach Ezekiel from the front, pelt bristling and teeth bared. It was obvious that this wasn’t meant to be a casual interaction. He had warned him during the creation of their group, that he would need to prove his worth. “Ezekiel,” He said, demanding his attention. Coaxing him to initiate a battle- and if he didn’t, Sephiran would attack first.

Sephiran, like many of the Saxe bloodline was a hard one to read. Something about him got under the young brute’s skin and made him itch to show the purple wolf what excatly he is capable of. Dawn has arrived, washing the sky with a brilliant array of colors yet Zeke pays them no mind. He is of a singular focus, patrolling the area that they have temporarily claimed as their own to make sure that the predators do not think the sleeping wolves are an easy target.

Dark and light form slides easily through the forest, his paws barely a whisper upon the ground as he passes. Then, from the shadows of the trees, a purple figure detaches itself, haughtily approaching the young lad as the birds begin to stir from the nightly slumber to joyfully sing in the daylight. Duel-toned eyes flash with excitement as Ezekiel rounds on the leader, muscles bunching in preparation for the fight that is to come.

Energy seems to crackle in the air as the two dominate males face off, the test that he had been expecting now staring down at him. His name is not needed because Zeke has already given Sephiran his full attention but his own chilly vocals return, “Sephiran.” While he doesn’t hate the male or even really have any negative feelings toward him, Ezekiel prefers to keep everyone but El at arm’s length. It is easier, that way, when he is forced to harm them, he won’t have any rude, pesky feelings about it.

A grin splits his maw as he raises his defenses, duel-toned eyes assessing the male for a good spot to attack. Without another word, Zeke pushes off, closing the distance between him and huge man with a long, bounding stride. The height and weight difference are noted but he also wishes to prove himself so he goes for a head on attack, leaping up at Sephrian’s face to try and snap his jaws closed on any piece of flesh he can get. Blood will be spilled, scars will be formed here and excitement at the mere thought of it all has his heart pounding with exhilaration as he strikes out.

In response to his name, Sephiran released a low, guttural snarl. The lust for savagery and bloodshed crawled down his spine, saliva pooling within the pockets of his jowls. Already baring his fangs, coaxing the man forward. He fortified his defenses- folding his ears flat, tightening his core, and centering his gravity by aligning his tail with his spine- all meant to morph him into a battle-ready stance. All the while, his mismatched eyes assessed Ezekiel, scanning for subtleties that would prelude an oncoming attack.  

And then, the male shot forward, covering the ground between them in a few strides. Sephiran didn’t back down- nor, did he try to move and dodge the attack. Instead, he leaped forward, attempting to meet the male in a head-on attack. Throwing his right shoulder forward, and pulling his head to his left. He would attempt to slam his shoulder into those snapping jaws, to keep his face from being attacked. It was also meant to stun the man, and alter his balance if successful.

The purple male seems to ooze savagery, the guttural snarl he issues sends a tingle of excitement racing along Ezekiel’s spine. Lips peel away as a deep growl rolls out into the air and they both ready their defense for the battle to come. Muscles coil, eyes scan and the air seems to crackle from the barely contained cruelty that both men hold. Without a word, Zeke kicks off the fight, devouring the distance between them with eager strides.

Leaping up toward Sephiran’s face, Zeke is presented with a purple shoulder instead and he greedily sinks his teeth into it. Blood erupts into his mouth and the coppery taste sends waves of pleasure coursing through his veins. They meet head on and he is forced to absorb the shoulder chuck that is thrown at him; his back legs spreading and toes gripping the earth as he widens his stance.

Forelimbs move, attempting to wrap around the purple male’s neck and gain a semblance of control in the fight. Releasing his hold on Sephiran’s shoulder, he snarls with fervent bloodlust and, with the taste of the other man’s blood still in his mouth, he seeks to try and bite the side of Sephiran’s neck while his limbs move to try and encircle it. Eyes flash with lust, not for the man, but for the battle and blood that they are in the midst of.

With his rebuttal, Zeke’s jaws closed around his shoulder, teeth sinking into his flesh and drawing blood to the surface. In response, Sephiran released a snarl, jaws snapping at the man’s face, as he continued to throw his weight forward. Even as Zeke started to shift, trying to wrap his forelimbs around Sephiran’s neck, he did not back away. Allowing the male to do so, and readying himself for the onslaught to come. Because it was part of his plan.

As Zeke released his shoulder, and turned his jaws towards Sephiran. The taller Saxe would splay his own jaws, and attempt to counter his bite with one of his own. An interception, if you will. His goal was to grab Zeke’s lower jaw between his- to clamp down on his tongue and mandible, to prevent him from using the full force of his bite strength. In sync, with Zeke’s forelimbs around his neck, Sephiran would attempt to rush forward. Wanting to uproot the male’s back paws from the earth, to shove him over.
