We've been shown how not to live by gracious kings of old
Noah pressed the advantage. He had often used this technique on the tundra when he got a moment of falter from a predator.
The moment Zavien’s balance shifted forward, the lynx moved—fluid, relentless, momentum carrying him in a tight arc around the man’s flank. Dust churned beneath his paws as he pivoted. Zavien was quick, sharper than Noah expected for someone without the instincts of tooth and claw, already trying to recover his footing and swing back around.
Noah didn’t let him.
He lunged again, low and fast, a lunging tawny blur closing the gap before Zavien could fully reorient. His shoulder aimed to hit first this time, a deliberate collision aimed at the man’s midsection to drive him backward.
