Sieberry & Others

An axis stag with his growing antlers in velvet, stepped slowly towards the dump. His nose was twitching constantly and his ears and eyes roamed this way and that, looking for danger.

Behind him trailed six young deer; all of them the same age and just shy of two years of age. There was Locust an axis deer, Radon a red deer, Zhaa a fallow, Luke a white-tail, Terrell a white-lip, and one doe; Skaa, fallow twin to Zhaa. Sieberry had purposefully choosen bucks of different breeds in order to exploit eachother's best talents.

As the six followed after Sieberry, the stag kept a lookout for one thing in particular; a dog.

*Dogs & Crows*

As usual, there were a few canines scrounging around the place. There was a brindle fellow that looked to be a mixture of corgi and poodle. He had short legs, a long, lean head, and a curly coat of pale brown. An apparent companion of his was a slightly larger mongrel of the feminine sort. Her fur was a bit longer and badly matted. If it weren't for all the sludge in her coat, she'd look white instead of a dirty brown-grey.

The two dogs spotted the deer and their interest was instantly sparked. Springing delightedly over the ground, they rushed at the deer, ready to offer them a volley of barks and fake snaps.

A group of five crows quickly caught ear of the ruckus and took perch on a nearby fridge that was standing percariously upright. They watched the fray in hopes of obtaining some fresh meat; wether it be deer or dog.

Sieberry & Others

Seiberry took a step forward, lowering his antlers and stamping at the ground. "These two are small enough. Their jaws are the only dangerous parts about them." He explained.

The yearlings all seemed rather frightened and had initially scrambled back at the dogs' rush. It was Terrel who stepped up first. Of all the deer, he had the hardest hooves; they were almost cow-like. The young stag charged forward suddenly and struck his hooves at the smaller dog's head.

Radon hesitated greatly and stepped back. The barking frightened him badly. Skaa picked up on the fear and backed off as well.

Luke, Zhaa, and Locust found courage however, after seeing Terrel go in for the attack. With Zhaa leading, the three came forward as well. The went for the other dog. Zhaa and Luke striking for the head while Locust went for his side.

*Dogs*

Neither were prepared for the deer to fight back. The smaller dog let out a yelp, getting struck in the head by Radon's hooves. Before the mongrel could back off, a second blow was delt. The creature crumpled to the ground with a grunt, knocked unconscious.

The second got several good pelts, yelping with each blow. Stunned and hurting, the dog snapped savagely at the yearlings, then turned abruptly and started to run away.

Radon snorted and scrapped his hooves at the ground. After the dog didn't respond, the yearling looked back to Sieberry, "Now what...?" Before awaiting the response, a bark of pain sent him wheeling around to see Zhaa scrambling back, his leg gashed by the mongrel's teeth. Radon charged after the fleeing dog, trying to butt him along the flank and send him to the ground.

Sieberry watched carefully, "Work as a team! Help Radon; that dog will be easy to take."

Though hesitant at first, all the fawns began to run after and tried their best to butt and kick the dog and send him down. Meanwhile, Sieberry kept his eyes on the unconsious mutt.

*Dogs*

The dog wheeled around at first, attempting to frighten the yearlings and stall their attempts at pursuit. "Stupid de...AAAAHHH" The dog yelped as Radon hit his hindquarters, spinning him to the ground. Before he could get up, hooves began to assail him, bringing about more yelps and cries from the dog. "Leave me be!"

The other dog didn't move, aside from shallow breaths.
