The large grey male crouched besides the white king, forcing the growl that wanted to escape his throat to remain there. It would not be good to alert the intruders of their presence before it was time. Mabbit was still making his way silently up the tree to begin their attack. His yellow orbs carefully watched the other male, wanting to make sure he did not attack before it was time. He saw Mabbit’s dark form leap onto the unsuspecting felines, his daggers ripping deep into flesh of his hind limb. This time he did not hold back his growl as he leapt out from the bushes, trying to help Mabbit make his attack more successful and going after the same male. His attack however was not as successful as the first Abendrot soldier’s had been. He felt his teeth sink into the paw of the cougar, but it had not been where he was aiming for. It might be because of his still healing limb, or it may have been due to something else, but either way the cat’s much larger jaw managed to get around his own front limb with enough force to break bone, and a snarl of pain and anger escaped from Grey Wind. Before he could go after the male again though, Halina’s form interfered and caused the cougar to go tumbling forward.

The grey titan took a quick moment to observe the situation. Kershov and the two female warriors were going after the female cougar, while Mabbit had thrown himself at the male again. It was obvious where Grey Wind was needed and making sure to keep his injured limb protectively close to his bodice, he leapt down at the injured male cougar. Mabbit was clearly going for the front, so Grey Wind instead went for the back, hoping to sink his powerful teeth into a hind limb of the cat and make another limb useless. If he was successful then it would be even easier to take the dangerous being down permanently.

Azula’s light green orbs carefully watched Mabbit’s form in the tree, waiting for the perfect moment to begin the attack. She would not go before Mabbit attacked, or before Kershov told them attack, as she did not want to interfere with any plans that may have already been made. She was so focused on Mabbit that she did not hear the approach of her other packmate, but she had trained enough in the art of stealth that even when Halina’s form brushed along her own she did not react. Once she realized who it was, she tapped her with her plume to acknowledge her presence silently. The two females leapt out from their hiding spot at the same moment, each targeting a different cougar. Her attack was interrupted however when the female’s large and deadly claws swiped at her, but Azula’s smaller frame was able to dodge the attack as she missed the male but got away unscathed.

A snarl of frustration escaped her throat as she focused her attacks on the female now. Halina had managed to blind the feline, and so Azula focused on that disabled side to focus on. She leapt forward, making sure to pay careful attention to the deadly paws that had already attacked her once. Her smaller form tried to be silent and quick and to go in for a deadly attack to the jugular. If she missed she would try to instead get her teeth around the shoulder or leg to make her more vulnerable to attack.
