Viviana attempted to attack, but this time there was no reaction at all, it seemed she was just too tired to be any help at this point and she thought that the beast was running out of steam as well. So he should fall soon and then their pack member would be avenged for the insult of being attacked by this huge jerk. She wondered if he would say why he had attacked the much smaller wolf dog. She took a deep breath trying to gather her strength in case he didn't go down yet and she would need to try to attack again.
When Aldusa missed, Alobar grit his teeth to hide a smile. Again, there was the battle of 'protect' and 'one-up' raging within him just as the battle raged before him. She was strong enough to handle her own, he knew that well enough and yet... he also knew his parents would never forgive him should she fall now.
A leap, a lunge, a tear into the hind and the damage was done. Alobar, broad-chested, heaving from that barrel, left his mark and moved away from the beast to circle it with the crowd. From this angle, at this distance, he finally fell into the present moment and took the Berserker in.
A terrifying sight, even in its fatigued, bloodied state. Alobar would argue that in this moment the Berserker was at his most frightening, likely to risk it all recklessly in order to survive. They had been trained for this, and yet... still...
The thought of Maske torn to shreds, crippled by the very beast before them was quite the reality. They would fight for her, for all their own who had fallen before her.
He thought to reposition himself but, instead, stepped back and towards his sister, knowing this fight would not last much longer...
This was a tough opponent! She snarled, and snapped at the berserker’s throat. If she could land a hit on a weak point, maybe the beast would fall relatively fast. She kept up her attacks, each time aiming for a spot to disable her enemy.
Breaking off again, Beowulf turned to go again to see that someone else had thrown the killing blow to the Beserker. Well... That was exciting to say the least! Plopping his rump to the ground, plume like tail dusted the ground as his tongue lulled out the side of his mouth. While there was still dark hairs tangled in between his teeth, but he was 'happy' to have helped do something grand?
The berserker stepped back after that last hit, winded and battered from the onslaught of attacks against him, and then looked back up with a growl. There was desperation in his eyes as he backed up, blood dripping from his wounds, before he turned and dove off the side of the cliff. He fell down the mountain before crashing into the river water below. No one sees him resurface after that, and it would be suicide to try and follow.
Aragon snarled as he watched the berserker plummet into the river. He wanted nothing more than to go after him, wanted to spill his blood along the riverbank, but that was a long fall... one that he couldn't say a wolf dog body could handle.
With an angry shake of his head, the king turned away after a few minutes of watching. The crowd behind him was beginning to get restless, but there was nothing more they could do. The water would wash away any scent now. For luck though, the river would also wash the beast far away from their lands, and hopefully he would think twice before coming back.
Turning back, Aragon observed the brave wolves who aided in their hunt. While it didn't end the way he'd like, at least they knew what they were up against now.
"Thank you, everyone. We could not have gotten this far without you."
He turned to gaze out past the cliffside, "I want everyone to keep an eye out for this one going forward. Should you come across him in the future, here or out on your ventures..." His lip curled, "Show him no mercy. He is an enemy of the pack now, and is to be treated as such."
Then, with a flick of his tail, he began walking back towards the pack lands, only to be stopped by a knight. Eyebrow raised, he turned to see what the call had been for.
That's right, the pup. She was shivering as she cowered beneath the knight's paws, clearly unsure of what was going on or if she was still in danger. The knight cleared his throat and nudged her forward, "Sire... what should we do with this pup? There are no other wolves around here...." The knight trailed off there, casting a wary look around them. It was true - there was no one else around here. Where could this pup have come from?
Aragon frowned at that, but he couldn't very well leave a pup to fend for herself out here. Looking at those frightened eyes, he couldn't help but soften just slightly. For a pup so young to endure something like this....
"Bring her back to the clergy dens. They can help tend to her while we search for her parents."
With that said, the king turned once more and continued walking away. The hunt was over, and he wanted to check on Maske once more.

Thank you, everyone, for going on this wild ride with me!
The prizes for the raffle are actually the two wolves featured in this game - the berserker and the wolf dog pup! If you would rather not have either of them, please feel free to message me about it, and I'll take you out of the raffle (or reroll, if I've rolled your name before you could see this).
A few notes about these two:
- Winners can choose their history and personalities from here! They are required to keep this meta game as a part of their history, but otherwise, the winners are free to shape these characters however they'd like. Why were they here? Why did the berserker attack all these creatures? Why was this wolf pup all alone? It's up to the player!
- For the berserker: This is probably self-explanatory, but he cannot join the pack, both because of pack law and because of what he has done. It's assumed that he fled through the mountain pass, and he will need to be careful running into any Fallguard members from here on out. He's a wanted wolf, after all!
- For the wolf dog pup: She does not have any family. She will grow up among the Fallguard, but you are not restricted in keeping her here forever. She's free to join the pack, if you so choose, or you can have her leave once she's older. As a side note, the wolf tooth that was found and the green eyes from the first srp were hers!
- If you have any further questions about them, please feel free to give me a poke!
Here is the final list of raffle tickets! (tickets from this round have been added as well; Erina_Nobara has been given an extra ticket for making the final blow) I will wait about 30 min before I start rolling our two winners, to make sure everyone has a chance to look through it. The first person I roll will get first pick between these two.
