ORIGIN

Good, he had the stupid annoying bird right where he wanted it! HA! What was it gonna do now? He could kill it easily, and was just about to lunge down for its face when suddenly he was shoved backwards and stumbled off and away from the bird, as if someone with hands had pushed him. But… even that wasn’t quite what it had felt like. No. This had felt more like someone had… somehow grabbed his innards, as well as his whole body, and moved him elsewhere forcefully, as if he’d temporarily lost control of himself.

Whatever had just happened, though, it had been weak, and he hadn’t gone more than a foot away from the bird. He was pretty disoriented from being randomly picked up against his will, and he shook his head confusedly, and then growled loudly and snapped his head around to locate the bird. Without thought, he launched himself once more at the corvid, this time head-first, in an attempt to bite its face! He was quickly losing stamina and he knew that if he didn’t do damage this time, it would be over. He was too tired to continue.

Round: 5/5
Attack: Attempt to bite raven in the face!

Injuries: shortness of breath, rather off-balance from Phantom Hold

NOTE: REGARDLESS OF THE NEXT MOVE, WHETHER BASSA INJURES ALBEON OR NOT, I HAVE GIVEN ALICE ENIGMA COMPLETE PERMISSION TO MURDER MY CHARACTER, AS THIS WAS THE POINT OF THE THREAD. ALICE DOES NOT NEED TO ROLL TO DO SO, AS THE FIGHT IS OFFICIALLY OVER AFTER THIS POST SINCE IT HAS BEEN 5 ROUNDS.

The cat was just too slow and clumsy and tired and the raven lifted into the air right before he managed to bite it. But instead of taking off like Bassa thought he would, the bird instead sank his talons deep into his head, somehow getting around the Onyx on the top between his ears, and left deep gashes on either side. The cat screeched in pain, feeling the talons rip upwards through his flesh as the corvid let go and backflipped away from him. Blinded by pain, he clawed uselessly at the air, but there was nothing there. Feeling defeated, the cat turned to flee, blood dripping into his eyes and down his face as he ran.

@Alice — chase after him and kill him or whatever you want or I’ll have him die of his wounds or whatever. Up to you.

Death came slowly for the cat, who was unaware that Albeon’s talons had dug deeper into his head than he thought, and he was bleeding out all over the place. That, plus the fact that he was almost constantly hiding from others, meant that he was very underweight. He didn’t get much of a chance to hunt since there was so much activity going on in the Caves and he never wanted to be seen. And now these wounds… His running slowed to a walk as pain throbbed in his head, and he looked down to see the blood on the ground. He did not notice the raven that was following him.

Then his walk slowed, and he moved as if drunk, unsteady and meandering, unsure of where he was going. His vision began to blur, and an odd coldness seeped into his bones and made him tired, so he lay down, as if to sleep. He put his head on his paws, closed his eyes, and then his breathing stopped. To the casual observer, it seemed as if he were merely napping. But, in the reality, one of the oldest members of the Cave was now dead.

[End and Exit Ji’Bassa. RIP.]
