Breeze was quite happy that spring had arrived, since it had brought warmer weather to the lands once again. Not that it was truly warm, but it was better than the icy winter temperatures. It was nice to see the small shoots of greenery poking up from the slowly thawing soil while on her early morning patrols. Many animals would be reappearing from their dens and new life would grow. The thought always gave the muscular female great satisfaction. After patrols, she had actually gotten a chance to hunt a bit, then go back to her den. The opportunity to rest and relax was sometimes hard to come by, and the grey she-wolf had been happy to enjoy some quiet relaxation time. A little while later, after she had rearranged some of the pelts in her den, the Delta was surprised to hear a high pitched call. It was obvious the sound was not quite the noise a wolf would make, so it had to have come from only one packmate. Rising to her paws, Breeze walked just outside the entrance of her den, peering out to see Narla standing in the center of the clearing. The Dingo was quick to call her out with a challenge. The Warrior's playful grin was met with a smile from the larger female. Oh good, this shall be interesting! Let’s see how she does. The fae thought as she nodded to the golden pelted canid. Excitement shimmered within her orbs as she moved closer, planting her sturdy grey paws firmly on the earth once she stood facing the challenger. “Aha, come to spice up my daily routine? Let’s get to it then! I won’t go easy on you, although I’m sure Fel made sure you can handle that.” She replied, her gaze assessing her opponent while she tensed her muscles for a moment and relaxed them again. The grey wolf had pinned her ears the moment she stopped waking, while her tail moving from it’s typical position for her rank to being tucked safely beneath her. Breeze nodded briskly, her senses on high alert already, in case she tried a surprise attack. “Show me whatcha got!”

The larger female had known the Dingo would use her speed and size. What else was such a small creature supposed to do against a more heavily built opponent? She could not win a battle of strength. The Warrior would undoubtedly use her speed and wit to try and undermine the Delta. Breeze watched carefully, not at all alarmed by how quickly the other approached. The fae forced herself to remain relaxed for a bit as the other charged. Jaws snapped open at the ready to grasp onto her opponent. It was well known for first attacks to be more sneaky, however, so her gaping jaws were the only sign of her preparation. Still, the she-wolf could only be so quick in mind. The fae was soon darting in from the side. A good tactic since her tiny size would make it difficult for the larger canid. It was a good move indeed, but that didn’t mean the wolf would just let this Warrior land her move without doing anything. Just as Narla began to dart in, the fae stepped back and let her body drop with the side facing the dingo just barely falling first. She aimed to immobilize the smaller female with as much of her body weighing the other down as possible. Hopefully, she could keep her legs relatively out of reach, although if she got the chance, she would also pummel the dingo with her front paws. The impact would make her sore, no matter what she did, but the dark pelted wolf knew it was far from the worst she would experience in this duel.

The dingo was quicker both in thought and action than Breeze had first assumed. The pain in her side blossomed as fangs slashed through her pelt and into the muscle underneath. The cuts weren't major, but they were still a respectable size. Much to her dismay, the little sand colored fae tried to bite at her neck. A growl escaped her maw as she moved her head away so that the fae didn't bite too deep. It was more of her pelt than her flesh, but Narla also pulled on what she had caught within her jaws, prompting the larger she-wolf to rolls sideways. The dingo was trying to get on top! It didn't help that she ended up falling on that side. Crimson stained the earth where Breeze's body landed, and her side throbbed. A soft grunt could be heard as she took the impact. Breeze knew she would have to roll with it, quite literally. In fact, she helped the roll along, tucking her paws and tail against her body as best as she could with ears flat. The pain of the fall was lessened by the roll as well. Even when she could have stopped, the grey pelted female attempted to continue rolling sideways. She tried to roll with the Narla  over and over in order to flatten the dingo between the Delta's body and the ground. You want to roll? Let's roll! She would roll until the other stopped her or was no longer near her.

Her plan didn't quite work out as planned, although thankfully the dingo wasn't on top of her as she had planned. Instead, the grey she-wolf almost immediately noticed the lack of extra weight against her. Narla had rolled away, and the moment this happened, the Delta's instincts screamed at her to get to her paws. A slow recovery in a fight could mean death. Breeze rolled to her paws, and remained crouched in an effort to pretend to be stunned with herears back and eyes narrowed. Yet, out of the corner of her eye she could see the Warrior charge at her. The larger canid would wait, letting Narla get closer, then she would lunge, up and forward with jaws gaping wide, to try and latch onto the fae's neck as well. Hopefully the dingo's speed would give her little time to avoid the attack. Her own shoulders would hunch in order to protect her own. It was a simple tactic to pin the other down, and it was something her own mentor had taught her never to fall victim to. She wouldn't let his training go to waste, not in front of her Alpha.

She would not truly snap at the smaller warriors neck if her attack landed, for there was no need to do more damage than necessary. This fight was for dominance, to prove their worth. It was not a battle to the death and Breeze never wished to do much harm to the dingo. Narla had impressed her, and if she had looked at the sandy colored canid's expression, she might have found quite a bit of pride. The grey she-wolf was hardly surprised when the warrior flinched, jerking her neck away so that her shoulder was damaged instead. The dingo's fang scraped along her face and left a cut above her eye right eye. Thank goodness she had kept them narrowed, otherwise she might have lost sight on her right side. The cut wasn't super major, although it stung. Instead it was her neck and upper spine which suddenly had a flare of pain from the impact. For a moment the darker fae would close her jaws on the fur and muscles, but not making it terribly severe since the dingo had seemingly collapsed. Had she just given up? Had she truly expected the fight to be that easy? Breeze wouldn't worry about it quite yet since it could be a trick. Afterall, she had just pulled that on her opponent. As the dingo collapsed, the grey female would place a large paw over her packmates neck with her teeth bared. Her ears would not straighten not would her tail uncurl from her side until her Alpha announced the fight to be over. She would be ready to strike if Narla tried any other moves.
