Just a misunderstanding

yet my blood renders me a King

Sah was considering his life choices at the moment. When he'd started taking hunting commissions, he's expected to deal with some normal things. Hunting rabid animals, dealing with predators that got too close to livestock, or even just getting particular species for food and clothing.

He had not expected for a panicked person to rush in screaming about a manticore. Nor did he expect them to mention that it was in the Greatwood. Really, why was Sah the one they went to? He was from Halo, as far from the aforementioned place as could be. Yet they'd been desperate and so he'd agreed. And that was how Sah found himself walking along the perimeter of where the Mathair was, tracking a manticore.

Lilly ran along beside him, following the beast's scent. Soon the creature was in sight and so creeping forward as silently as possible, Sah braced himself. Taking a silent breath, he leapt, his sword coated in small bursts of static lightning, that recently had become more powerful for some reason. The blade hit home, sinking into the beast's side.

REMI

if you're not going to swim deep with me

Many in the Greatwood knew of Remi's ability to become a manticore. It was one of the ways he kept her safe, and though he had never posed much of a threat to the fae, those wandering through the Wood were absolutely a different story...

Just now though, Remi's focus was on a particularly meddlesome cath sith that Delphia had told him of. Stalking the beast, he was intent on obfuscating its efforts to steal souls from a recent burial when Sah and Lilly had come along. With his head low, ears pinned against the wild halo of his mane and his tail archived high and menacing above his body, Remi was far too focused on not breaking eye contact with the shadow-y whisp of the cat to notice the presence of the hunter or the wolf.

When you're the alpha predator, it's easy to take things for granted.

With a surprised growl, Remi snarls and turns. The hunter's blade and lightning is hardly able to damage him at all, strong as he is, but it pulls his attention from the cat just the same. Overcome by a predatory rage at having had his prey startled, the manticore turns, opening a mouth filled with rows and rows of shark teeth, to roar at Sah and Lilly alike.
