Through my wolf’s gleaming white eyes, cold like those of a killer beast, I watched the enemy take slow steps.

There could only be one winner, but we each sought different prizes; he desired my title, and I wanted respect.

Phoenix bared his fangs, his menacing sounds becoming louder. He wished for nothing more than to end this quickly, his animalistic instincts urging him to taste blood.
