[center][b]- The Old Woods -[/b][/center]

Things moved quickly- someone he vaguely recognized had appeared and given them the opportunity to escape. That said, with [b][u][color=f7976a]Will-O-Wisp[/color][/u][/b] still clinging to him, there wasn't much he was willing to do- he was slower and heavier, and she was in a prime position to get injured.
That problem solved itself when the Vulpo dropped from his chest, throwing a cheeky taunt his way as she did. Her words, however, didn't register in [b][u][color=#BD0000]Dragonheart's[/color][/u][/b] mind. His hand was already on his weapon, and he leapt down from his perch on the tree. He hit the forest floor and rolled, hefting himself up again faster than one might expect. His weapon was already in his hands, and he took only a moment to size up his surroundings;
[b][u][color=f7976a]Will-O-Wisp[/color][/u][/b] was [i]on[/i] the wolf-thing now, and [b][u][color=orange]Wu[/color][/u][/b] was still holding it off with his admittedly intimidating shield. However, that thing was still mobile.
That was where [b][u][color=#BD0000]Dragonheart[/color][/u][/b] decided to strike. With a roar, he tossed his Fangs of the Pit right at one of the wolf-thing's back legs. If luck was on his side, his attack would hit both of its legs and send it toppling completely. It would be a hard shot to miss, but sweeping one of its legs out would give [b][u][color=orange]Wu[/color][/u][/b] a break and let them pin it down instead of worrying about it staying mobile.
Especially since [i]someone[/i] was now riding it.

He had to be careful; one wrong toss and he might accidentally impale [b][u][color=f7976a]Will-O-Wisp[/color][/u][/b]. This was the other reason he went low- if the wolf-thing suddenly turned, it might put his fellow Operator in harm's way. Friendly fire was on, after all.

Get the thing on its back, pin it down, and kill it. That's how it goes. Works with everything, even things that aren't animals.
Simple, quick, efficient.

The only downside was having to stare something in the eyes as you murdered it.
