Blood splattered into his eyes as he gave a large shudder, the pain almost completely blinding him as he staggered backwards with an audible gasp... his legs shuddered, his body had little will to go on, but his head would not let him give in. Dazed and absolutely crazed by the pain (of his own doing; he had picked the fight after all), he felt the beginnings of spell casting, something that he knew nothing of, but in his eyes he saw fire and smoke and wanted her to burn-- but... though it grew warmer, nothing lit up. No greenery began to burn.
I'm too weak...
Silver spat blood at that pretty white coat, a sneer overcoming him once again,
"You're... you're lucky I'm tired... or you'd... you'd be gone from this world, I swear!!"
Round: 5/5
Attempt: HEAT.
Defense: None.
Injuries: Back leg is bleeding, bloodied face.
Slate’s absence could be explained by the urge to feed— she had told Silver to stay put, while she went off and found some sort of dinner for the two to consume. She loved him dearly, but he could be . . . loud. Obstructive. A foil to her silent, calculated actions. Slate thought it in their best interest for her to go it herself, just for half an hour.
She hadn’t found anything fresh, just-killed, but some larger predator must have wandered off for but a moment with the half-eaten leg of some ungulate. The flesh hadn’t soured, and seemed to have been killed just that morning. Slate sighed through her nostrils, incisive teeth digging into the exposed leg bone. Faint shadows had reflected across the corners of her eyes, and she had heard a dying cry. It was palpable, and the blood rush of a hunter still coursed through her veins.
Her ears pricked at the nearby sound of snarls, of clicking teeth, and the sharp scent of blood.
No.
Slate’s jaws released her stolen meal and her legs took her to where she needed to go. Rage was building within her chest and fast. Silver’s familiar, warm scent. Blood. Her lip drew back into a vicious snarl and her urgent footsteps kicked up the ground in her wake. Her lungs burned, but she didn’t give a damn.
As her eyes locked onto a bloodied white pelt, ill-intent filled their dark orange depths. Who did this. . . wretched, disgusting, vile, execrable, loathly bitch! She didn’t wait for an answer. She didn’t care who started the fight. All she saw was her brother, with blood matting his fur. All she saw was Silver, beaten.
The only think that Slate could see was rage and it consumed her wholly.
She sprang forth, feeling her hind claws tear the earth as she kicked herself off and barrelled straight into the she-wolf’s side.
