While Ahnasha followed his directions, Fendros stalked the kagouti from the other side. Once they were in position, Fendros waited until he was sure that the creature was in an ideal space, before springing out from behind his concealment to strike. Ahnasha took the role of attracting the creature's attention, a role Fendros would rather have done not only to test his strength in a direct confrontation, but to keep Ahnasha out of danger. It was no matter now, though. The kagouti's tusks were in Ahnasha's grasp and it was unaware of Fendros running up behind it. Fendros' beast spirit drove them on with excitement.

Fendros jumped, but there must have been a sound that betrayed him, as the kagouti lifted its head to protect its neck with its bony head crest as Fendros latched on. Fendros tried biting the creature, but all other exposed areas were not carrying anything vital. Fendros had a contingency, however, one that would put him in a bit more danger, but was unlikely to kill him. The creature thrashed away from Ahnasha with cries of panic as it tried to throw Fendros off its back, but Fendros was heavy and latched on firmly. It made the contingency more difficult, but he wasn't going to give up. While still holding on with his fore-claws, Fendros slid his body down the left side of the kagouti and held his feet against the ground. In another motion, he brought his right hand around and under the creature's left leg and began to try and lift it. The kagouti was heavier than he thought it would be. Perhaps he had overestimated. Still, while the left leg thrashed and managed to rake at his right arm and cause a shallow scratch, he slowly began to tip the creature over while he followed its hops away from him by stepping forward.

Fendros had hoped that he would be able to reach the creature's neck from the position he held it, but with how heavy it turned out to be and the nature of the position he had put himself, he needed to tip the creature over completely to reach its neck. He didn't quite have the required strength though, he was only holding the creature up [i]nearly[/i] to the point of tipping it over. He bared his teeth and growled in frustration, trying to find the extra strength. He needed Ahnasha to provide an extra push against the kagouti's body.
