LEVIATHAN
the supernova
The sounds of the approaching beast were loud, and yet he wasn't scared. No. There was a hum of contentment that settled in to his bones, as it always had before a fight. The peace that came with drawing blood was a unique thing that he hardly experienced anymore; he felt very much alive as the beast emerged with a scream that made his ears pin backward. It rang through him, rattling around his skull, and he was certain even his teeth would have vibrated if they had been able to.
There was almost immediate chaos when the giant bird swooped in, wings spanning out. He caught one of them, feeling it bang against his back and flanks with powerful beats. Even if it was just a wing, it still hurt enough to likely create bruises, and he bared his teeth, his head lifting and fire flickering to life in his veins as it sparked through muscles and tendons. His massive body suddenly surged, and his head lifted, sharp horn aiming to jab through the meaty flesh of an upper wing. Despite himself, he lunged forward, aware of where the bird was attacking one of his kin; Seraphina.
He made himself an easy target, foolishly, and he felt the sear of pain across his back as the beast's head dipped down before he could reach the other. He lifted again on rear legs despite the warmth of blood moving down his body, and his head jerked, another attempt to get his horn through an eye or the soft flesh of its face.
He even kicked his hooves, smashing them against a rock hard beak in an attempt to crack and shatter what was the bird's primary weapon. He wasn't sure what damage he could do, but at nearly a ton, he threw all of his weight to slam in to that beak.
The target had at first been just a wing, but now he remained face to face with the beast, teeth bared and a roar in his chest as his hooves moved in a desperate attempt to fracture what he could.
ooc; got a little bit banged up. bleeding from a nice wound across his back, but adrenaline is keeping him going. he'll be pretty bruised up from those wings smacking him too.
