The female had looked back, seeing the next part of this fight starting to develop. She turned her head towards the strange creature in the alcove. She gave a soft pleading whine, since her strength was rapidly failing her now. Avarris drew a deep breath as she pushed herself up and moved forward. These canines had just fought a battle in her place. Had it not been for them, she knew she had no chance against the insects. With terror scratching inside her chest like a crazed animal, she clenched her teeth together. She would fight for them now.
