 Biting back the yelp of pain that threatened to escape from his maw, he battered at the wolf, pushing back with his weight, his teeth flashing into the pup's fur.
He wouldn't back down. If another Sure-Claw made it to power they would try to bring back the old ways of the pack. He couldn't let that happen. The others would have to deal with the tough ways of training that many pups never survived and the constant put-downs. It made hardy warriors out of them but the result left the wolf close-hearted and alone. Most warriors never took mates because of their stand-offish nature.
Focusing back on the battle, Paden snarled and snapped at the young warrior's neck trying to rip free of the other's grasp. His teeth connected with flesh and sunk deep into it, blood painting Paden's tongue in small drops. HP: 14

xxxxxA howl of pain ripped out of Icarus' small body as the fangs of his opponent tore into his skin. He had been hugely gratified and surprised by the effectiveness of his previous attack. The shock of the sudden counter of the purple adult had him stunned. He fell back, shrinking away from the teeth of the complimentary-coloured beast.
xxxxxHe had never felt such pain. He staggered to his feet as the wound from his neck bled. The bite was not fatal, but the pup Icarus had yet to have encountered a beast who would hurt him such. He shook his head, he needed to focus on the battle at hand. The eyes coloured of the sky on a clear day sparked as a snarl rolled out of his opened maw.
xxxxxOnce he had gained purchase on the granite beneath him he peeled back his lips. The canines beneath were stained of blood from his opponent, though he was not disgusted. The adult wriggling itself out of the adolescent claimed it was something of victory. To be proud of. With a growl he pushed off of his white paws and hurtled towards the wolf.

Slipping to the side, Paden grabbed the young adolescent by his scruff and tugged, his claws aiming for the muzzle of the young wolf.
This wolf was young but he saw the light in his eyes change. The pup was weakening in him so the adult could be stronger. His claws tugged at the fur as he pushed down with his fangs, trying to catch muscle beneath his fangs.
His teeth slipped and he lost his grip on the wolf as he growled his annoyance. He needed to step up his game. He could feel the muscles beneath the wolf's pelt. Like a true warrior. HP: 14

xxxxxIcarus yelped as the scruff of his neck was pulled. Panicking, he almost cried for help, but he quickly made sense of the situation and pulled out of the hold, narrowly missed the paw that was flung to his maw. Still, he could feel the imprint that the jaws of his opponent had made. Luckily enough, the skin did not break.
xxxxx Icarus tried to create some space between him and the beast, knowing that the Sure-Claws were skilled warriors in the ways of close combat. He scrambled as fast as his white paws could up the slope. The pain of his wound shot made him wince, but the adrenaline levels that had started to climb soon caused his mind to focus back on the match.
xxxxxOf course he knew this battle was not of grudges, not to prove anything more than who was more suitable to lead the pack. He released warmth as memories he had made with the members of the group padded to the edge of his mind. Quickly, he shook them off, remembering that he required focus to take down a Sure-Claw. Still, the heat remained. Spurred on by the flow he charged at the purple beast, aiming to return the wound on the neck with his exposed incisors.

As the wolf's teeth connected in his neck Paden snarled in rage and pushed with all his weight to throw the wolf back. He could feel the warmth that flooded from the young wolf's pely but he disregarded the heat to the other being fevered in battle. He felt his body tense and seem to grow as rage pulsed through his veins, the adrenaline taking what sense left he had. He was all battle and strategy. He knocked the male back and roared his rage, standing on his hind legs.
Barreling down on the young wolf he pinned him to the ground and snarled into his face, before grasping the male's shoulder in his jaws. HP: 9

xxxxxIcarus panicked as the wolf's heavy weight bore on top of him. He struggled to escape and tried to heave the beast off of him to no avail. Saliva dripped from his exposed fangs and flung off as his shoulder was torn with teeth. The pain sent a shuddering reflex through him and he kicked with his back paws, trying to skid away from the creature. Instead he smacked his head on the rough granite.
xxxx His mind went into a frenzy as he instantly realized he had small scratches along his limbs and a growing lump on his head. If he had the ability to do so, the orange's beast eyes would've gone red with anger. He furiously roared and tried to jump up back to his feet.
xxxxxHe glared without fear at the eyes of the purple wolf before him. He shook his head and snarled in defiance to the roar. Right in the face of his opponent he increased his warmth into a stifling heat. Itching to somehow attack the creature, he growled, snapping his jaws at the orchid mass before him.
xxxxxHis body hummed with excitement and he used much of his strength in an attempt to fling off the beast, trying to claw at the sensitive underbelly of the wolf.

Snarling in rage as the young wolf's claws sliced through his skin and fur he ignored the pain and the heat that made him want to go lay on the cool granite rocks to cool himself. He held no thoughts but to win. He held the male down with his fore paws and snapped his fangs to the male's exposed throat.
Paden pressed down with all his weight to hold the wolf below him still. He was in control. Saliva dripped from his fangs tainted with blood as he tore into fur and flesh. Blood welled beneath his tongue as he locked his fangs and held on. HP: 9

xxxxxIcarus roared in outrage as the incisors once more ripped into his musclar adolescent body. His pale-blue eyes flitted about in a panic as the pup within made a sudden comeback. A quiet whine of innocence bubbled out of Icarus who was breathing labouredly. The skin at his neck had begun to burn as the pain had passed the amount that the adrenaline levels could hide from the mind.
xxxxxThe heat faltered for a moment when Icarus thought all was lost. The bleeding from his neck had made him begin to lose his sight but still he held on. With a violent shake of his head, Icarus tried to loosen the creature's hold on his neck. Something, somewhere within him had decided to seal off the poor pup in a den in a deep corner of his mind. He lost all sense as the fury overcame him and he writhed with a last burst of strength.
xxxxxA snarl ripped through his bloody throat, "I will not stop!" Mostly an encouragement to himself rather than a battle cry, the words spurred him on. He slipped his hind legs out of the pin and tried to push the beast off of him.

Stumbling back from the other male, Paden snarled and he felt his fur stand on end. He couldn't lose this time. Not ever. He had to make his mother proud. For a moment the rage within him cooled and he swore he could smell his mother's scent.
As he gazed at the other wolf he blinked and circled the other who lay on the ground still. "And that is what a true warrior is. Never giving up, always fighting. But they know when it is time to give up. Don't let others fool you into thinking winning is always physical." He bowed his head to the other wolf before he grasped the male's tail. "But I must do this to keep my promise from long ago. I mustn't loose."
Tugging back, Paden dragged the young wolf to him as he snapped at the adolescent's ear. Blood dripped from the wound as he gazed calmly at the wolf. He was still a pup in his eyes. He needed more training but if he won he vowed to show the pup the true sense of being a warrior. HP: 5

xxxxxIcarus felt a sense of a sort of victory crawl through his white chest as he landed a hit on the wolf. Too weak to hold the heat, he retracted his warmth. The adrenaline had started to run dry, he needed to end this battle now. For the sake of his friends, of what would be his family and of course Rouqie. This position was what he required to protect them all.
xxxxxHe listened to the wolf's story, as he spoke Icarus tried to regain his breath. Panting heavily, he lay completely still. His lifesource slowly pumped out of the wounds, wetting the surface beneath him. A quiet whine escaped him as he thought all was lost. Blue-eyes widened as he felt the ground beneath him slide past when the wolf dragged him. His tail twitched in protest as he was pulled over.
xxxxxHe cried out in pain as sharp teeth tore through his ear. The ear canal there had begun to fill with blood. The adolescent whimpered for a moment, but it soon transitioned into a howl of fury. His plume of a tail thrashed behind him as he tried gain a sort of purchase on the ground with his hind legs.
xxxxxIcarus had failed in the story, he was stupid, too bashful. With a whine he realized he too had been. He had rushed into a match with a Sure-Claw stupidly. With a snarl he refuted the thought. No, he would not give up. This was his battle, not the battle of a mythical human who may have existed eons ago. With a roar, he decided that he had not flown too close to the sun, that this battle still may be his.
xxxxx"Mother, my fate is not your's to decide!" Images of a blurred wolf came into mind. Only the expression the wolfess held was a strong thing in his mind. He remembered the expression of sadness she held as the name escaped her lips, the way she had decided by herself he was born to fail. He snarled, thrashing his head back and forth. In the frenzy he bared his teeth. Pale-blue eyes glazed over as the craze overcame his mind and incisors went flying towards the purple wolf's maw.

Pulling back from the young wolf who snapped without form or sense. His anger getting the best of him. He remembered that he too was like that once. His mind flashed to his father who had trained him himself. Making him strong but nothing ever made him praise him. He always did something wrong to him.
Paden knocked the young wolf over by slipping his nose beneath Icarus's legs, and pulling outwards. He placed a paw on the wolf's shoulder and gazed at him. "Never give up fighting. But its not always here in the real world. The real fight to beat is the one in your heart."
He licked the young wolf's brow then pulled back and gazed into his eyes. Sensing the wolf's strength ebbing he knew this wolf had a strong heart and determination but this fight was not for him. HP: 5

xxxxxIcarus slowly regained his mind, the craze had begun to pass over him as the purple wolf did nothing. His mind became clear in the last few minutes he felt his body could take. Icarus was on the edge of blacking out, the purple wolf soon turned gray in his eyes as his pale-blue eyes could take in no more colour. His body had begun to shut down, but still, he was determined.
xxxxx In his youth, his parents had never bothered to teach him anything for he was too young. They had disappeared soon after, leaving the orange pup in the den to fend for himself. For two months he survived, alone and hungry. It was the group who had saved him, Rouqie who fed him and taught him to hunt deer. A'cuil who had shown him the ways of hunting through a forest, and everyone else who had convinced him that being in a pack was best.
xxxxx"I... am... not...finished!" Icarus breathed between pants, the final move was likely upon him. His body could only manage to exert so much more energy. He scrambled off the group, tearing away from the purple wolf's gentle gaze. He was still ready and raring to fight. He would not give in to the fatigue that had begun to plague him.
xxxxxHe scrambled, slipping at times on his own blood. An orange maw snapped in defiance at the wolf, who himself looked ragged after the battle. Incisors dripped with saliva as the anger within him bubbled, the fury rose and he lashed out. Fore paws and maw charged at the purple beast that he had challenged.

The male caught the young wolf as he thudded against him, his fangs missing his flesh as he grasped the wolf by the scruff and dropped him on the ground. Planting a paw on the wolf's shoulder he bowed his head. "Nothing will ever be finished. I promise you though Icarus. Once I'm finished in this foolish tournament I promise to train you in the right way of being a true warrior."
Grasping the young warrior's scruff he hauled him up onto his back and carried him back to the others, leaving the site of the battle behind them, blood sprinkled all over the ground. "You fought well. Rest now Icarus." HP: 5

xxxxxHis eyes went wide as he realized that he had truly failed. His head smacked the rough tan granite, causing him to slowly enter the realm of unconciousness. He barely heard or registerd the now-gray wolf's promise. The drive within him only begged him to reach further lengths. He would try again, one day. That he was sure. The sun was no longer his enemy, and he swore silently to himself that he would soar as high as he could without going too far and crashing back to earth. His wings would not melt this time, and he would succeed.
xxxxxIcarus fell limp, the light faded from his eyes as the white lids slipped over them. "Sorry..." He whispered with his last concious breath before slipping to the ground. The apology was to no one but at the same time to everyone. He had let down himself, his hopes, his mother... everyone. But he was not saying sorry to the wolf before him, nor anyone present at the scene. His breath slowly shifted from ragged breaths to the slow, even-paced inhalings and exhalings of a wolf who seemed to sleep. The wounds on him still bled. The adolescent had been defeated. He scolded himself in the confines of his mind, nit-picking the entire battle, telling himself what he could have changed, what he could have done instead to make him victorious.
xxxxxHe remembered the wolf now, his name was Paden. Or so he thought he had overheard in the clearing in which the wolves had gathered. He had always known that the beast was a Sure-Claw, a warrior none to be trifled with. A mental chuckle to himself reminded him that he had fought against him, and as many before him likely did, failed.
