Gabriel moved. Instead of meeting skin and tendon and bone, Urna's bite only found a mouthful of tail fur. Frustrated, she gave its living core with a sharp tug, but unlatched just in time to hear Gabriel's bone spurs whistle through the air.
Where—
Piercing new pain lanced through her haunches, and Urna's exhausted legs stiffened in pain. She wrestled her instinctive cry into another guttural growl, but it cracked at its end into a high, genuine whine. Gabriel's other tail flashed up into her vision, something seized her leg, and—
Urna hit the ground. Her breath escaped her lungs, leaving her with only its aching lack for several futile, agonizing moments. The spotted hyena finally managed a cough-wheeze that lifted her ribcage. It had been too long. In a real fight, her opponent would have already claimed victory. Still, she brought her paws beneath herself and tried to stand.
She managed about an inch before her shaking muscles failed her. Blackness threatened at the fringes of her vision.
Panting, she rolled one red eye to look up at her opponent. "I—" She swallowed. "I yield, Gabriel Richter. Well...fought."
