Snippet #1719436

Erak pinned his younger brother beneath him as he tore at the tough flesh. "Have grown weak in time with the soft skins! Will dispose of you quickly!" He grinned wickedly as he raised his claws in order to bring them down to slice Disir's throat open. His motion was stopped short as some insane female who was wielding fire came out of nowhere and began assaulting his men. Erak screeched at the woman as he backed away from his brother, attempting to retreat from the fire. It would seem his brother had taken his distraction as an opening to attack as he felt strong jaws clamp around his shoulder and a weight push him forward in an attempt to pin. His attention taken away from the fire for the moment, Erak quickly regained himself and turned the attack back on his brother. Freeing his shoulder from the jaws he whirled around and raked his claws down the side of Disir's face. His weak brother stumbled backwards with a shriek at the apparent loss of an eye and Erak bounded towards him to deliver his final blow that was so rudely interrupted earlier.

It was like a flash, he was on the path toward his brother but then he was thrown off balance and sent rolling. Quickly righting himself, he stood tall with his fin flared bright red as he roared at his unknown offender. Much to his surprise, it was a female, a seeming soft skinned female. No, a soft skin didn't have that kind of power behind them this was something different. No matter what she was, the foolish thing had challenged him. "Ha! Stronger prey? Not what you are, weak female! Have no time for this!" With a fire wielding female and one that possessed unbelievable strength behind her frame, it was clear his troops were in for more of a fight than he previously thought. Still though, it seemed as all of them were trying to protect the village and the soft skins in it. If they could only reach the village and begin wreaking their chaos, perhaps they could have some sort of leverage against their opponents. He roared loudly and his warriors retreated from any battle they were engaged in and seemed to all but disappear into the foliage as they stampeded forwards. Turning his shining, yellow eyes on the female he grinned with his tooth filled maw and backed into the darkness to also disappear.

Disir knew at some point in time, he had been stronger than his brother but those were times apparently long gone. He had been pinned in no time, despite dealing some nice blows against his brother he always seemed to have the upper hand. Maybe it was true, maybe his brother was right, he had become weak during his stay with the soft skins. The more abuse he was dealt, the more it became clear he really had nothing to gain from siding with the humans. His eyes caught a quick glimpse of the soft skin female as he lay in pain while his brother retreated from a fiery attack dealt but a seeming ally. No, he couldn't abandoned the village. He was sure there were more like Teaghan in the mix, certainly there were more kind humans like her and Raine. They shouldn't be subjected to the horror of slaughter and enslavement. A growl of determination and he launched himself up to attack his brother with a powerful bite. Their saliva might be deadly to others but on their own species it did nothing more than cause irritation. Quickly he was once again at the losing end and soon found himself slashed across the face and lacking an eye. He grasped his face with a shriek of pain and stumbled to land on his back. The death blow that was sure to follow never came and it was clear why as he uncovered his bleeding face. Songrose? She had jumped in to save him but his brother would have none of it as he and his troops quickly retreated and continued forward, the coward. Disir groaned as he rolled over and pushed himself up on shakey limbs, covering his empty socket with a clawed hand. "Need to, put up a barrier of some kind. Prevent them from getting to village."
