The fox felt victorious for taking me down. Its eyes shone against the dimness of our surroundings.
When it wasn't looking, I smirked and summoned the icy breath. Grabbing its paws still pressed on my chest, I heard the monster squeal while its legs got iced.

"Were you asked to attack me, or is this of your own discretion? I'm beginning to be a fan of animals, but you are leaving me with little choice here."
The fox squirmed, crying with all its might to plead for its life.
