Rage From Above [ very open! ]

[dis-courageous.livejournal.com]

Birds of prey are birds that hunt for food primarily on the wing, and as a result, these creatures have evolved sharp eyesight to compensate for the unusual distance maintained between predator and prey. Komali was no different— and though the infection raged through his body, his eyesight remained clear.

He was hunting.

He didn't need anyone to take care of him. He didn't need to be alone. In fact, he felt...good. Very good. Who needs them?

Nobody.

That thought didn't feel as good, and the uneasiness upset him. It made him angry. If nobody needs them, then...why should they be here? Why should they be allowed to stay?! No. No, how dare they!


A movement, down below! The bird-child homed in on it like a beacon, folding in his wings and diving for the kill. He didn't need a mother! He was a hunter! The impact, when it came, only brought that edge of anger into sharper focus. He didn't just want to move and jump and fly, he wanted to rip and tear with teeth and beak and talons.

Everything was itchy, and he needed to give vent to the rabid, ceaseless urge to hurt.

He wasn't the only bird of prey on the hunt though.

Tobias's feelings would be a mirror of the bird-boy's, if he could read minds. He dove downward at the same time, putting him on a likely collision course with the weird looking bird-kid.

A red-tailed hawk is a fairly large bird, as birds go. Komali is a fairly small person, for a Rito. However, even now, in his juvenile feathers, his wingspan is closer to ten feet than anything else.

Still, Tobias' intervention was at least enough distraction to save whatever hapless soul that he'd been diving for this time. The rake of talong and the unexpected impact threw the inexperienced flier for a tumbling loop before he regained himself, beatin upward madly.

What in the— there! Better get away fast, Tobias, you have a bleeding, frothing, enraged infected coming for your blood.

Now was the time for a lot of maneuvering. Tobias couldn't beat this thing in a one on one fight, so he had to stay out of reach of the claws, for sure. He just hoped he was fast enough as he tried to dodge.

The frenzied energy was fantastic, propelling him forward tirelessly, vision tunneled red on Tobias' form.

"I'll kill you!" Komali screeched, and kicked out in a blow that would break the spine— missed! The Rito wheeled off, hissing his displeasure and coming around for a second try. When he lacked in grace and efficiency, he made up for in pure, panic energy.

< Bring it on! > came the reply. Tobias, too, felt frenzied, energeized as he focused on outmaneuvering the larger creature.

Frustrated, Komali screamed his displeasure again and beat up towards his target, not caring if talons tore him from one end to the other, so long as he could just rip a hole in that stupid bird!

The trouble, of course, was that Tobias, in his own frenzy, was small, fast and hard to catch. He screamed back as he tried to dodge the larger form streaking toward him.
