Name: Zephyr Level: 30 1/5 Power: 30 Toughness: 40 Speed: 30 Gracefulness: 30 Attacks: Nibble, Nip, Bite It felt like months since the last time he was here, in the arena, when really it had only been just a few weeks. Zephyr could only remember pain, a pain so great that in knocked him unconscious, and then suddenly he woke up briefly to find his beloved mate at his side, the smell of both her blood and his mingling with her sweet scent. But then he lost consciousness again, and he couldn't remember much after that. He had been silent for the longest time after that, the longest he had been since he was young. He wondered, day in and day out, if his mate was okay, if he had hurt her or anything, but his wounds and weariness kept him from doing much moving. All up until now, anyway. With River in the lead, the duo of alpha and Fiero came to the seemingly deserted arena, or at least what was left of it. There was no sign of the dragon anymore; there shouldn't be because someone else took care of her. But, there was a slight feeling of deja-vu coming over the pair. (Word Count: 196)

Vera Level: 24 Power: 25 Toughness: 35 Speed: 25 Gracefulness: 24 Attacks: Nibble, Nip, Bite, Scrape, Scratch, Claw, Slash LeapA harsh panting sound was the first indication that Zephyr and River were no longer alone. Then a single, bright red eye in the shadows, down too low to seem like it would belong to a Fiero, then abrubtly up too high, and then simply not there at all. From the shadows stepped a Fiero that seemed to be made of darkness. Her featureless face did not help matters. This was Vera, a Fiero that belonged to Dragon, but who was currently far under the control of the fragment of the mother dragon's mind that resided within her own. Her long tongue lolled out, saliva dripping onto the ground. Of the eye from earlier, there was no sign, which was perhaps the most unnerving thing of all about the Fiero. Or perhaps it was that though there were no eyes in sight, Vera was facing directly toward Zephyr, the loud panting sounds not stopping. The black Fiero was consumed with rage and hatred, and she bared her teeth at Zephyr, the panting growing deeper until it was on the verge of a growl as Vera prepared to fight the nine tailed Fiero that stood in her way.

(If it makes you feel any better, this post is running on strained muse as well.)
The fur along Zephyr's spine bristled and stood on end, making the red stripe running down his back look very much like a mane. All nine of his tails fluffed out to twice their original size as well. He drew his lips back in a snarl. It was that tongue-eyed Fiero again! Even after that last battle they had, she had somehow gotten herself possessed again and once again turned to savagery!
There she was again, River thought to herself. Vera, one of Dragon's stronger Fieros, was once again being possessed by the dragon. Why she was still possessed while the dragon was no more was still confusing to her, but sometimes one can't simply dwell on such things, especially with tense situations.
"Okay, Zephyr..." she began, not once hesitating this time. "Bite her!"
Zephyr was not holding back either. He charged at his opponent at full speed, without an ounce of hesitation, even despite the black Fiero's enormous size compared to his. He opened his jaws, waiting for the moment he was nearest to clamp his teeth down on her leg.

The harsh growly panting coming from the female Fiero deepened still further when Zephyr raced to attack Vera. The big black Fiero stood perfectly still ears pricked as she listened to Zephyr's movements. It was true what they said, lose a sense, and all the others became stronger. The possessed Fiero could hear every footfall that Zephyr made and each breath of the nine tailed Fiero.
She stood perfectly still besides her ears. The length of time Zephyr took to reach her was not much at all, but she adjusted her ears to point in the exact place he was currently in. She could sense his body heat too, of course, but using her ears as well made her doubly sure that she knew just where her opponent was.
When she judged that he was close enough, she suddenly darted her head forward. Keeping her long tongue out of the way of her fangs, she aimed for Zephyr's neck, hoping to deliver a short, sharp nip to him and hopefully unnerve him enough that she could deliver a more direct attack.

Zephyr clamped his jaws around the black female's leg, sinking his teeth as deep as they could possibly go, but it was not deep or hard enough to break her leg. He shook his head vigorously from that spot, trying to deal as much pain as he could before the Fiero could strike.
Suddenly he felt something really sharp against his neck. It took him by surprise, and he yelped, letting go of the leg that he had savaged only moments earlier. He leaped back, hissing in frustration as he saw that he did not do enough damage to make his opponent fall.
This was almost exactly like last time, River thought to herself. Even now, Vera was proving difficult to take down, even after Zephyr had shown that he had grown stronger since that last battle with her. But it was obvious to her that even as Vera still stood, Zephyr was the stronger of the two this time, and not equal. He was sure to win this battle, no matter what the black Fiero tried to do.
"Zephyr, nip back at her!" River shouted now. The vulpine Fiero charged at his opponent again, once more readying his fangs to nip at the female's neck, just like she did to him.

Vera let go of Zephyr quickly and let out a howl of pain as she felt sharp teeth close around her leg. Her harsh panting wasn't just for intimidation anymore. She seemed to be almost gasping for breath as she hobbled on three legs, keeping her injured one off of the ground.
For just a second, her fur looked more solid, and if either Zephyr or River had blinked, they would have missed it, as it just as quickly went back to being the ghostly almost not there look of a very much still possessed Fiero.
It was clear that this fight was almost over however. Though still on her feet, Vera looked ready to fall down at any second. Her head was down and her long tongue was hanging out as she panted.
At River's command though, she lifted her head and perked her ears up. Again she waited until Zephyr was close enough, this time so she wouldn't have to walk on her injured leg. She knew that she was going to lose, but the fragment in her mind would not give her up easily, and her head jabbed forward at Zephyr in another nip.

Zpehyr wins!
You may both have one more post in any order, and then stats and battle points will be calculated.

Vera snarled as the teeth made contact with her neck, and she moved her large body to shove Zephyr off of her. Unfortunately he had made the attack from her already injured side, and she still had her injured leg up. With just three legs to balance her, she teetered dangerously on the brink of falling over. Her long tongue lolled out of her mouth and her sides heaved as she gasped in air through her mouth. Her legs trembled, but somehow she remained standing as her coat slowly lost it's ghostly look and the last fragment of the mother dragon's mind left her forever.
When the process was done, she blinked open the eye on the end of her tongue briefly, as if proving to Zephyr and River that she was no longer possessed. Unlike the others, Vera seemed to understand exactly what had happened. Though she could not remember her time under the dragon's control, she had been possessed before, and recognized the situation she was currently in.
Unlike all the others though, she seemed determined to keep standing. Her single eye widened suddenly and then retracted into her tongue as a thought came to her. She turned toward Zephyr, still panting hard and trembling. "Try and keep your Alpha here."
With that she turned and limped slowly out of the arena.
About ten minutes later, she was back, a bundle of fur in her jaws. The colours were familiar to most in the world of Fieros. White with a distinct black pattern. It was a common Fiero pup. Vera put the pup down halfway between Zephyr and River. "Watch him, please." If she wasn't so exhausted, she would have made it a request rather than a command, but she didn't know how much longer she could keep going, and she felt certain if she stopped then she would fall down and forget the one thing that she remembered from being possessed.
This was more difficult for Vera than for any other Fiero. Never mind the fact that until recently she had been possessed, and so was exhausted on top of only having three of her legs fully working. Because she didn't have a nose, carrying pups in her mouth meant that she had to set them down every so often just so she could breathe.
But she continued, returning ten minutes later with another pup, this one a rich brown with swirls, and ten minutes after that with a pure white pup. After an hour and ten minutes, seven frightened and confused Fiero pups were before Zephyr and River.
Vera had grown steadily weaker after each pup, and now she truly looked like she was going to collapse. "That's the last of them." She gasped out at Zephyr. "And, thank you." She added as an afterthought, before her legs finally buckled and she fell unconscious, the healing sleep that overtook every newly unpossessed Fiero finally upon her.

Zephyr and River could only watch helplessly as Vera strained herself to her limits to bring them what ended up as a bit of a shock to them. Puppies. Seven frightened, shivering, cat-sized, Fiero puppies. The dragon must have had them stashed somewhere to keep them out of the way, or to raise them into new army members, whichever happened to be her fancy.
Had Vera not collapsed from the exhaustion of straining herself despite the effects of being possessed not once, but twice, perhaps maybe their current problem would have been made a bit easier. How would they get the pups out of here? Zephyr could only carry one pup at a time, maybe two if it wanted to be carried on his back. River could probably take two for herself, but again, there were two of them, and seven pups.
Then, River carefully picked up one of the pups, and then she took another one as she balanced the other. She would take them back to her mansion. She would take them all there, even if it made her as exhausted as Vera.
As she turned to leave the arena, Zephyr tilted his head before he began following her. River glanced behind her. "Sit, Zephyr..." she said now, as she paused in her walking. Zephyr hesitated, but he sat down, whining and tilting his head, asking for an explanation.
River just smiled a little. "I'm taking them back to our home, boy..." she said now. "Watch the others, okay?" Then she left with the two she had.
Zephyr stayed true to his command, staying where he was, watching the pups, reassuring them the best he could. Then River came back after about half an hour, and she took two more.
About another thirty minutes passed, and she came back once more and took another two. And then when there were only three left, River took two of them, and then Zephyr took the last one. They both looked back at Vera, both wishing they could do more for her, before they turned and started heading back home with the remainder of the pups, Zephyr knowing that that would have been what Vera wanted.
