Jayden glanced at her. "Are you sure?"
"Yes," Frya replied flatly. "The beast is weak. And it is my natural enemy."
Jayden let out a soft exhale. "Alright. Go for it."
Without another word, Freya walked towards it.
The Sabertooth Flare noticed her. Its burning mane flared brighter. It let out a deep, piercing roar.
Then it charged at her.
The beast moved with surprising speed. Its massive paws tore through the earth, sending dirt and stones flying behind it.
Freya waited until the last moment before moving. She slipped sideways as it swung its claws towards her head.
Whip!
The Sabertooth Flare's claws tore through empty air. It turned immediately, swinging its flaming tail towards her.
Freya ducked.
The tail swept over her head, scorching the air. She stepped back and allowed the beast to turn again.
Jayden watched closely. Something was strange. Freya had several opportunities to attack, but she wasn't taking them. Instead, she kept evading.
