She has been a neutral party for so long, sidelined by conflicting interests — torn between her pridemates and her children. Here, however, the line is stark black and white, and there is no regret for throwing herself into the fray. One way or another, the Andal lions pose a threat to her family, and Narcissa with young ones underfoot is a formidable force — indomitable and fierce.

She cares little about the bruising that will flower across her shoulder from the impact, a low grunt rumbling from her jaws in the collide. She hits her mark, her teeth sinking into his wrist just as @Drakon's neck is coiling around and his canines are catching in her ear, leaving the top half nearly in ribbons. Narcissa snarls through her teeth, and when @Iseult pulls on their opponent from one direction, she attempts to wrench his wrist in the opposite -- a literal game of tug-and-war, and Drakon is the rope.

It is a small mercy that @Ragna aims for her chest and not her wounded shoulders and nape. Her battle with Tyr was so recent, even now she could feel the muscles of her shoulders balk in stinging pain with every motion. At one time, Echo avoided such unpleasantries but she had since grown accepting of the grim reality of pain and was better at fighting through it.

A quick exhale just before impact stimies the amount of wind knocked from her as bruise blossoms in her breast. As she does, Echo tucks herself down and attempts to lower her angle to rip into the tender flesh below Ragna's ribcage with her claws. The move has her too low and to the side for Ragna to strike her face, and the woman's claws instead find the outside of her shoulder, causing blood to rise to the surface.

EBRAHIM HAS WON THE CHALLENGE FOR DOMINANCE!

In official wars and raids, fight result timers and posting restrictions are negated. Posting may continue, but the results of this fight cannot be acknowledged ICly until either both challenges have responded, or if 3 days have gone by. Whichever come first!

This was interesting to see herself in a sort of deja Vu with another Bezra as her opponent. One she didn't choose to fight, again attacked for no reason. She didn't do anything wrong and was willing to leave without major fuzz but the girl had decided to engage that. In such way she didn't have any other choice but fight her off. Let them know and learn not to pick fights with those who didn't ask for it.

Either way she was going to teach her a lesson. Her slam goes through in well against the offender's chest. But she wasn't about to stop, not until the message was well understood. Echo then lowered and aimed for her under belly, to which Ragna aimed to walk backwards hoping to miss the attack but she wasn't able to do so completely still feeling the sting sensation of them blushing against her soft belly but not too much. With the lowered position she decided she was going to use it on her benefit. After he claws missed the face, hitting the shoulder instead she went to try position herself on top of the girl, attempting to bit on the scruff, trying to place both frontal legs at each side of Echo's body, aiming to pin the girl into the ground. Attempting to push hard.

Exhaustion had settled with pain pulsing brightly against his flesh. To watch his wife fight was a terrible moment, one where he worried for her life. All he could do was stand on the side lines as fights broke out around him, glacial eyes scanning the area to make note of those who had come to watch; unfortunately, many of those he cared for had fallen victim to his over-ambition. He cannot leave without @Ashelia, bound do her much further than just an oath, there is also honor that would never let him stray. Worry needles in the back of his mind, though his features remain stolid.

@Beezlebub approached, the lioness an obvious member to the bluffs pride. Head tucked to cover his throat as the other lion approached, unable to fathom why she might have come. I will go when my wife is free. Eyes had slit to stare at the lioness, taking in the sneer of victory. Paws flexed against the red earth beneath him as he itched to swipe a paw at the woman, but he was in no capacity for physical exertions. Fresh wounds prevented any further retaliation, and so he merely glared at the dark face opposite him, giving enough time for Ashelia's fight to complete.

Though he'd prefer to wait for Ebrahim to leave there was no part of him that wished to risk Ashelia's health further. As the bloodied pale gold shoulder touched his own he grunted agreement to leaving. Chin had dipped to encourage they leave, his legs working to leave with his wife close by.

The fight escalates, a roiling storm ballooning out of control as chaos breaks out all around them. It's dizzying and thrilling, but even as the world around him spirals, he hones in like a bloodhound on the scent of crimson. And such, when @Seneca blocks his path, he's nowhere near fast enough to react.

His tunnel vision makes the male's hip check ring true, battering Xavier aside with a solid THUNK! of bone against the left side of Xavier's neck and shoulder. It'll bruise, but only because of the force that Xavier was throwing himself -- not necessarily because Seneca was attempting to hurt him.

Nonetheless, he gives a frustrated growl as he lands clumsily upon the earth. Eyes flash over to see the patchwork male seizing his quarry and seeking to extract her from the fray. He steps momentarily after her, eyes blazing with desire to pursue, but notices that there's still another left in the fray -- @Zahra, currently being accosted by @Ursula. While the speckled Bezra is attempting to break up the fight, Xavier wants more. As Ursula seeks to scruff her, Xavier attempts to leap at the smaller cub's rear, his jaws lashing out for her tail. He seeks to bite down on the middle of her tail, hoping to take a nice souvenir, perhaps, to go.

When Iseult's wild eyes flash again over the space her brother had once darkened, she sees he's selected another interest - the youth @Tron that lunged for him was now victim to a newly focused, rushing @baphomè. It inspires a slight satisfaction in her, considering Drakon is left to the devices of one less foe; but @Narcissa still latches with dogged persistence.

Absurd! Frustration spiraling, broiling, a snarl in her gullet and a flame stoked in her heart, hunger a heavy rock in the stovepit of her core. A keen partner that to her greedy brother, not to let Iseult enjoy her meat alone as intended, as if the dinner table required anymore messy eaters. And what of the children?

The thought is outed as swiftly as it has come - @Drakon shifts, curling to grab at Narcissa's skull and taking a nice slice of her ear. Enough to jumble Iseult, she clambers back with the swing of her tail and the stead of her legs before she attempts to adjust her hold, now loosened by the movement. When Narcissa tries to move one way with his right wrist, Iseult stubbornly makes to wolf-latch the meaty chunk of his left arm and thrusts all her weight into her haunches with the intention of chomping down and trying to tug him in the opposite direction.

She got him first, damnit.

Her opponent is older, certainly more experienced, yet Echo surges onward, attempting to use what strength she can muster to shove her weight forward into Ragna and shove her away towards the border. After all, this was just as much about clearing out the territory of trespassers as it was sending a message.

Even if she lost, Ragna’s trespassing would be paid for in blood.

As she does, her opponents fangs find the already damaged area of her nape, causing Echo to snarl in pain in a yowling cry. The flesh opens easily, weeping with prior injury and fresh blood. It was a low blow, but she expects nothing less from any warrior of this land.

Pain was part of life and feeling it didn't bother her at all, as a seasoned warrior she's been through many challenge some worse than what Echo was sustaining. Including her missing half of the tail. Eyes were cold, showing no emotion nor desire to do so any time soon. All she wanted was to send herself a message to this and all who ended up picking fights with her. Fight me if you are ready to take on the consequences. Which most ended up in pain. Echo does the effort to shove her across the borders. She was moments ago about to do so without this forcefully attempt. But sometimes she wasn't around finding fights, they found her all the time. She spread her leg, toes spread as she attempted to stay firm. She could leave but no way she would let someone dominate her for that. Only her mother would have the authority to order her around not this girl.

She heard the cry, and noticed she was going after a pre-wounded place. Ears pins as she removes her bite from it, attempting to change her bite to the left ear, not hard to damage it but hoping to keep dominance over the now grown up Bezra.

The point made clear. He could have taken advantage of his grip, of his advantage. he could have designated her a meal for his family, their first delving into tradition. could he? could he present the child before their hoard? It crossed his mind, cement the burgeoning feud with scandal and ultimate shame upon the trespassers. A punishing reminder of what happens to those who flirt with the ire of wolfbron’s cannibals—to provoke, to invite their horror into their homes. Instead, as she shook against his flesh and tattered where she could, he stood prone. He attempted to solidify the pin with a hefty step of his right forelimb, as one might clinch the throes of a wounded doe. He’d make no attempt to take further action against the spattering youth, instead held what he could, relishing the freshened wounds and striven to lean into her thrashing with the curl of his head.
