20th of Glade, 121xx
The moment Senara saw Talon swooping down she bolted to the right, heading straight for Brianne who had already begun to prepare for the take down. The woman mounted her crossbow quickly then twisted to grab a long metal chain from one of the saddle bags. With all the speed she could muster she worked to fasten it to the horn of her saddle just as Senara came bounding up next to her.
With an open mouth, Senara caught the chain that Brianne tossed her way and skidded to a halt. She thrust herself back towards the beast with fervor.
She had no time to be scared of the bull, no time to notice the painful blistering of her lips or tongue as she sprinted alongside Brianne who matched her speed on horseback. The chain rattled between them, scraping the bare ground a few times and knocking up rocks and debris around them.
“You take the far side!” Brianne called, loosening the chain as Senara took off like a bullet in front of the raging bull and earning no attention from it as it’s single eye stayed locked on Talon and the burning embers he held.
She raced. Faster. Faster. Seconds later the chain was pulled taut between them and as the bull raced towards Talon with the rage and promise of death in it’s chest it’s legs caught on the chain. Brianne and her horse braced themselves against the tension while on it’s other end Senara winced as the pain of the chain aggravating her lips shot through her skin, tearing the skin open. But she didn’t let it slip, and when a loud cry was heard as it toppled over and came crashing down, sliding across the ground and snapping off a few of the spines on it’s back, Senara bolted forward.
She raced towards it and felt the heat of it’s aura with each step becoming more unbearable. She had to work quick- coming upon it she wrapped what she could of the chain around it’s leg. The burning, smoking embers from it’s scraped, torn hide stung her eyes and the already blistering flesh upon her lips but she ignored it as best she could. Brianne pulled her horse back and sent him galloping off to drag it’s body. The entire operation happened so quickly that the bull hardly had any time to react, but the pull of it’s ankle from the warhorse sent it into a frenzy. It thrashed against the pull and in the fight it’s ankle snapped and sent a loud crack into the night followed by a loud wailing bellowing.
Senara and Brianne both dropped the chain, the white wolf now covered in smoke and soot as she backed off from the beast and glanced at Brianne. The woman was huffing on her horse, brows furrowed and focused. Then they widened. “Get back, you two!” She called, taking off in a gallop with a kick to her horses sides.
She didn’t know what was about to happen- but the bull had begun to glow. It’s spines shook and it hobbled up on it’s three good legs with a rumble in it’s flesh. Seconds later, it’s spines erupted from it’s flesh around it’s body and into the sky. Nearly a dozen all shooting out like an eruption of volcanos.
Senara had not run- turning one's back only meant the inability to see what was coming. Instead she faced them head on and dodged as best she could the scattering of spines. One after another she jerked away from them, dodging with ease at first until one grazed the side of her hip. She yelped as it seared her flesh but the fur along her back kept it from cutting too deep.
“Are you okay?!” Brianne yelled from afar, earning a quick squish of Senara’s tail in response. A simple yes, and glad that she seemed to have made it out of range of the attack- but what of Talon?
The wolf growled at the beast as she lowered herself towards it in anger, waiting to see what it’s next course of attack would be and looked to Talon- hoping to find him alright.
