Once the creature had turned away from him, Pahkakino closed his wings and dropped to the beast's spiny back. Shrinking the claws of one hand back to a shorter length, he dug them into the course hair, along with his toe-claws.
Lifting his free hand, Pahkakino snarled and slammed the long, blood-red claws into the stiff flesh. "Run!" he cried as the beast reared back in pain. The boar-ish creature began to buck and shake, trying to knock Pahkakino loose. His wings were extended, trying to maintain his balance as the beast ran and kicked.
Concentrating on staying on the beast's back, knowing that if he were thrown to the ground those claws would tear his flesh to ribbons, he dug his toes in for better purchase. His tail spinning behind him, the red demon concentrated on his left hand's claws, growing them even longer, hoping to, by some miracle, send the piercing claws through the vitals of the beast.
Sparing a moment to look up, Pahkakino gasped and drew his wings in close. A moment later, the boar crashed side-long into a rocky spur. Pahkakino felt the bones of his right wing snap, and the membrane tear.
