Maikoh was simply wandering around the camp just looking around when she suddenly heard the yips of her friend athena. She was alerting the pack of some kind of danger. Maikoh quickly put her nose to the ground and started to follow athenas scent. Listening intensely to her surroundings to make she wouldn't get ambushed if there was one. Now moving at a trot she spotted her friend.

Maikoh quickly stood by her friend and raised her hackles to make herself look bigger. Even though she was small she could still be intimidating when she wanted to be. "Who are you what are you doing in this territory!?" Maikoh asked with a bit of a snarl behind her words looking the loner directly in the eyes and not breaking contact. Surely the rest of the pack at the den had heard athenas yips and would come soon. Loners had no place being here especially since this is a rather large pack.

Maeve
Female | 8 Years | Demoted Beta | Mentions: Vilho, Her Pups, The Pack

"It's a shame we didn't have more, Vilho, perhaps we would have gotten more than one good pup," she murmured, her face pulling in a pensive expression. Truthfully, Maeve would have had more pups, but her body had decided otherwise. After Takara she just couldn't seem to make them stick. Eventually she had just accepted it wasn't meant to be and poured her attention into her existing pups, mate, and her rank.

"Hopefully," she started, disdain written in her features, "our daughters won't try and keep their pups from us. If they have any. They would have to seduce a male first, and I don't know if any males have their standards so low." The female bared her teeth, tongue curling out to lick across her front teeth. "I obviously hope that someone will mate them, but I hope it is also a worthy male, which seems like a bit of paradox," she let out a sigh and shook her head.

Her attention was quickly grabbed by the howl they heard, followed by the pup that stumbled through the forest, and the pack dividing to it's separate duties while Leviathan lead a charge of aid towards the sentries. "Odd," she murmured, snorting softly, "it's so early in his reign to have wolves howling." Maeve knew it was because he had taken over in the time of war, but she was still rather critical.

Her eyes narrowed as she scanned the remaining back and rose slowly, her tail flicking. "We should make ourselves available to help, show our compassion." Everything was a political game to the female, and knew if they showed their compassion in a time of need, they'd win more favor.

This was rather a large predicament that Eira was in. Two wolves atop of her, and unable to truly move. Surely there must be something she could do? Her hind legs were pinned, as was her chest. However, she still had her jaw and front legs to use.

Releasing a hiss of pain as the red wolf sunk its teeth into her shoulder once more, Eira took this as a small opportunity to at least gain a bit of an advantage. With two wolves right near her face, she used her muzzle to fend of the red wolf, while her two paws were used against the ebony one. Quickly, she bit into the side of the red wolf's neck and yanked, forcing them to release her. In the meantime, she used her paws to swipe at the ebony wolf, attempting to keep him from inflicting any wounds. It would give her some time to think things through and for others to notice her unfortunate situation.

She transitioned now, biting the ebony wolf, and swiping the red wolf. It was a constant cycle, a tiring one at that. Bite, swipe, switch. Bite, swipe, switch. Pah, they simply wouldn't give up! It wasn't until Eira saw an opening. A tiny, small window to act.

From the corner of her eye, she spotted Kallik making his way over. Studying him while she continued fending off the wolves, her eyes flashed appreciation when he had knocked one of the wolves off. Taking this as a chance to act, she looked at the ebony wolf, who was surprised by the sudden motion. Immediately, she picked herself up and pushed the wolf with her side, taking him off guard and causing him to stumble against a tree. It was easy to do so, considering he now had three legs.

Now, it was two against two. Her and Kallik and-

No, it was two against three now, another wolf having approached. It was the one Kallik had previously left so that he may assist her. That was alright. They could manage with three wolves. Glancing at Kallik, she nodded once, signaling a quick thank you. She would be sure to thank him more afterwards, but as of now, well, she didn't have a chance.

Instead, she targeted the ebony wolf. It was the first wolf who had targeted her, and thus, she was growing rather tired of him and his motives. She was sure that Kallik could fight the other two off for a brief moment while she dealt with the ebony wolf. Eira wished to get rid of him once and for all, and so she made sure to strike first, and quickly. Using the tree she pushed him towards as a shield, she both moved and dodged around it. When the ebony wolf seemed prepared to strike, Eira would simply use the tree to prevent him from doing anything. It served as a bonus, after all, the ebony wolf seemed to grow frustrated at her constantly using the tree to shield the attacks.

Sticking her head out on one side of the tree, Eira waited for the wolf to make a move. When he finally did, she used it to her advantage, dodging his bite and whipping around towards the other side of the tree, targeting his other hind leg. It was a morbid thing to do, but did Eira care at the moment? No, not really.

Wrapping her teeth around his other hind leg, she snapped her head to the side, another crack sounding through the camp, followed by a high-pitch yelp resembling a scream. Now, he had lost the use of both hind legs, relying on nothing but his two front ones. The ebony wolf couldn't truly move now, both the lack of legs and pain preventing him from it.

So, Eira stepped forwards casually, gripped his neck, and ended his suffering within a few seconds.

Turning her head, she now targeted any remaining wolves that may be near her or Kallik.

Akousa

Male||Four||Pack Member||Mentions:Everyone in the fight

A couple surprised yelps were something he had to pridefully swallow down everytime the opposing claw or tooth tore into his skin. His blood seemed to quench the thin stalks of battered grass, and only then did he stop, observing the ripped out tufts of fur riddling the ground whilst drowning out the fierce growls surrounding him. His opponent seemed to halt as well, curiously glaring at him and releasing a warning snarl in its quick advance. Akousa exchanged an annoyed stare, swiftly tossing himself to the side just moments before the bullet of dark fur barreled past.

“How dare you!” It was odd, earlier, when he had been rejected by Takara and then later announced to join the battle, he felt queasy and distant, of course the sharp flares of anger occasionally wrinkling his face. Nonetheless, he’d never have guessed he’d come to enjoy it, now, as he poised himself in a threatening stance, his words dribbled with menace but his expression had been settled in an excited scrunch, eyes glowing happily. “You’re quite the fighter. Ripping my pelt to pieces like that.” He’d glance at the besmirched ground, in the mix, his precious fur lay dappled with blood.

“Enlighten me, will you? Which would you prefer; my teeth in your neck, or….well, your neck.” He took in a shaky breath. “Now that I think about it, it would be the best and quickest way to end your life.” Simultaneously, he’d swivel his ears to the side at the bubbling silence of Leviathans fight, unconcerned by whoever the victor may be. Next, he’d briefly listen to Eiras struggle, but not for long. A series of yelps disrupted her fight and with the voice unfamiliar, he’d guess she wasn’t struggling any more. I'm not going to be the last one fighting..

His opponent didn’t take his threat too kindly, heightening its scowl and hackles. Akousa guessed the wolf was going to attempt to bowl him over again, and why not? It proved to be effective. Akousa had no such weight to withstand such a move. And he doubted he could side step his attacker again, surely they’d just turn with him this time? Flicking his ears back, he’d partly allow his figure to shrink, lowering himself to the ground. The wolf didn’t seem to care, not buying his new submissive stance. That means...He’ll have to go with his other plan.

As soon as it emitted one last snarl with bared fangs, shooting off with little hesitation, Akousa narrowed his gaze, waiting only a second before quickly bunching his muscles and propelling himself off the ground. The wolf’s target, which was now briefly in the air, previous spot empty, had now landed on its other side. He had to twist his legs just slightly to aid his desired destination, the wolf's position had made it impossible not to do so. And now, with his successful landing in check, Akousa wasted no time in latching his jaws around his opponent's throat, a very quick strike as if being a snake was second nature.

All was still until his attacker rattled about wildly, shrieking and barely suppressing whine-like growls as if its situation had just sunk in and it was rapidly trying to break free. Not that he could blame them. Akousa held on, tugging his body back in a way to exact his own force to keep his victim still, still enough to finish the job. And slowly, though his attacker was still alive to emit weakened yelps, he had pinned its head to the ground, his paw now planted on its shoulder which lifted sporadically with the wolf’s kicking back legs. Settle down...Let's end this quickly. Just as he was preparing to pierce the flesh even further, a tough body knocked into him, detaching his grip on the wolf’s throat and his paws on the ground.

Immediately, he whipped his head around, letting his gaze smother the wolf who had barrelled into him, but his stare was not returned for the wolf had leapt up and thrown itself back into its own battle, viscous snarls bouncing off the trees. ..So it wasn’t on purpose.. Still, he was furious, especially when his victim had fled, off into the thickets with its ripped tail swaying wildly about. For a moment, Akousa had bounced to his paws, about to take pursuit until he hesitated. Just then, he felt every piece of fur weighing down on him like bricks and he forced himself to sit back, jaws hanging open in a pant. Should he call for someone to try and cut him off? Or should he just relieve himself of such thoughts.

He chose the latter, figuring everyone else would be too busy to leave their fights to give chase..Maybe Eira? He glanced in her direction, noticing her scanning the bloodied clearing for a new opponent. No, he wouldn’t give her the satisfaction of ending his battle. Enigma? Well he didn’t even know where she was. Inwardly sighing, Akousa would remain alert, aware of the somewhat stilling snarls and barks around him. Everything should be over soon..hopefully.

Kallik

Male || 4.5 || Pack member || M: Others in the fight

Kallik had knocked the red pelted wolf off of Eira and slammed them into the ground. A growl rumbled in his throat as he aimed a bit at the wolf’s leg. If he could break it, he may have the upper hand in the fight and it would make it easier to take on two wolves at once. Leviathan had already killed one of the rogues, and it looked as if Eira was about to do the same with the Ebony wolf she had freed herself from. He heard the sound of bone breaking, a loud crunch sounded, and Kal bit down harder, not daring to lose his hold on the red wolf, crushing its back right leg. His opponent let out a howl of frustration and pain and Kallik was slammed into from behind. The black wolf he was fighting earlier had reached him but had put too much force into his leap and his claws had missed his back just barely, but Kal was pushed to the ground, the red wolf now free from his grip.

He scrambled to the top of the black wolf and regained his balance as the larger wolf bit his ankle in an attempt to free itself. Kal was able to rip it out of the jaws of the rogue and made a split-second decision to leave him. He knew he would have a better chance of taking down the other wolf than he would with this one, and its leg was already broken so it couldn't struggle as much.

With a snarl, he leaped at the red wolf, he acted as if he were going to bite his legs, but at the last moment extended his paws to push the other wolf to the ground. The red wolf was unable to move its back leg at full strength and struggled under his weight. Kal could hear the black wolf panting as it ran at him from behind. The wolf he was pinning to the ground jerked its head up to bite him, front paws scraping Kal’s belly and exposing a spot in its throat. Without thinking, he quickly plunged his teeth into its neck, blood coating his muzzle as the red wolf thrashed underneath him. The maneuver had taken him too long to perform and the black wolf was upon him again, he clung to his rival’s neck as the claws of the black wolf scraped his back.

Kal was quickly forced to let go, and let out a grunt of pain before wriggling out of the black wolf’s way. But the rogue was too late to save his friend, the red wolf’s eyes seemed to cloud over and he stilled, blood still seeping from its wound as it went limp. He couldn’t tell if Eira had finished off the ebony wolf yet, but really hoped she did as he whipped around to face the remaining wolf. Eyes blazing and lips curled back in a growl.
