Swiftpaw stands rigid, a broken silhouette against the twilight, his severed tail twitching. Blood pools around the unconscious form of Brightpaw. His fur is bristled, one ear torn, side ripped open. "If I have to die as an apprentice, I'll go down fighting, like a warrior!" he snarls, launching himself at the five prowling brown dogs. The clash is brief; the beasts are immense. Swiftpaw barely remains upright, a trembling shield before her.
