Nile's wolf rose to the surface as a ferocious growl escaped his lips, in a flash, his claws and canines extended and his hands enclosed around the neck of the vulnerable merman.
"What..." The merman struggled to speak as his hands clawed at Nile's crushing grip.
Nile's eyes glowed brightly as he snarled, exposing his sharp set of teeth, he leaned down to meet the wide eyed gaze of the merman.
"If Zariah must be in pain because of you... then you are better off dead!" Nile snarled, every decorum of the spirit guide fading off to reveal the warrior wolf within.
One would think this was unlike the ever calm and collected spirit guide of Crimson Moon, Nile Castiel, however those who knew Nile knew he was many things, but when it came to Zariah, he was extremely protective of her.
Nile was after all still a warrior wolf and one of the strongest of the Crimson Moon, the fifth element lord and a pillar of Crimson Moon.
