Grendrick could feel it, it was like an empowering jolt through his body. It was at that moment that Cragshield had leaped from Grednrick's back and was on the move. The tiny Dwarf's resolve was powerful and it was inspiring for most to watch. However to Grendrick it was more business than anything, all he cared for was the fact that they had set the Commander of the Skaven off balance. This was the time to act for both of them.
Cragshield was pressed to close the breach, and Grendrick was going to make good use of it before it became a wall. The mighty wolf launched off his right foot and put all of his weight into a forward slam. His large body connected with the Skaven Commander and kept moving, he forced his power against the rat and ran. They duo shoving through Skaven units before Grendrick finally halted and used the momentum to throw the Skaven Commander deep into the tunnels past the breach, then the wolf turned with words to his Party.
"Go! Fight through this, and Siph will lead you though the other breach! Find the Wolf in the Rat's Nest." His words were simple at first, but the last of them had a lost meaning to the group up until those who saw him watched his next action.
Grendrick once more took off on all fours, darting into the darkness of the tunnels just before Cragshield closed up the breach. It was this that Grendrick had spoken of in hi words. He was no longer united with his party. It was now him and the Skaven Commander in the dark of the Tunnels, in the lingering depths of Skaven territory. It was here though, that Grendrick could feel himself and not have to worry about anything. This was by far the place where he could get Her out of his mind.
"Now you foul wretched Vermin! I will kill you!" Grendrick roared out to his foe in the darkness of the tunnel, all around them was nothing but stone, loose rubble, and the eerie dripping of water inside the bleak depths. Vision was limited, for most.. but Grendrick wasn't most. His eyesight quickly adjusted and the visuals of the terrain were accented by growing hue of gentle orange, this was refracted light from much further down the tunnel, it was Grendrick's primal eyes giving him a sort of low-light vision. It was just enough to make out his foe too, but that was needed to find him. Grendrick could smell the rat the whole. The Commander was no more than several feet away on the ground with a small stalagmite running through his left calf.
"Kill me? I will walk out of these tunnels with your pelt, mutt." The Skaven Commander rebutted without hesitation. All the while he had ripped his leg up off the Stalagmite and then raised to his feet. His adrenaline was pumping furiously and his leg was being planted on the ground without so much as a scowl to it. His poise was unfaltering before even a beast such as Grendrick, and he raised his hands and readied his body for a fight.
"My Pelt? My fur will only do one thing.." The Wolf coiled his body in as he raised his body upwards, his arms tightened against his chest and his head raised up high and leaned back, before the wolf lashed his arms outward and he gave a deathly stare through the darkness to his foe. "...Bathe in your Blood!"
Grendrick lunged forward towards his foe and cleared the few feet with ease. The Wolf brought his right hand hand to punch directly against the Skaven's head, but the Skaven Commander skillfully brought up his left arm to catch the blow, the pair then tried to counter with jabs to the gullet, only to find their fists connecting against one another. It was at this moment a split-second pause happened between them as they stared at the anger they gave one another, it built up for a moment before the Skaven Commander tried to peel back his right hand and throw a right cross against Grendrick's snout, but the Wolf was too eager for it and that was the Skaven's unknowing fault. Grendrick latched his powerful jaws against the Skaven's hand and crushed down while snarling the whole time. The Skaven's right hand quickly began to crumble and break internally, leaving only fragments and pieces to sit within the flesh. However the Skaven quickly utilized his left hand to throw three jabs to the side of Grendrick's head, this caught the Wolf off-guard for only a moment before Grendrick released the hand and then quickly stabbed his hands into the belt of the Skaven. It was here he utilized a weakness. Grendrick's strength was unmeasured to many degrees, and the mighty wolf quickly began to pry and pull. Before the Skaven could even react it's breastplate had been torn from it's body and slung down the tunnel, and then the Skaven could only cough up blood as Grendrick's right hand pierced the skin of the Skaven, but it wasn't over.
Grendrick felt a slight sting outside of his own adrenaline, the tickle of metal, in his left side just under his ribs. There sat a rather unique Obsidian dagger the Skaven kept hidden, and it had been shoved into Grendrick's left side four times, during the time Grendrick had ran the Skaven through with his claws. They had both injured one another with lasting wounds, and yet they both refused to give up as they both began to fight against the other's weapon. The Skaven gripped at Grendrick's arm and tried to push out while holding the blade into his side, and Grendrick was ringing his left hand around the wrist of the Skaven and cutting at it's arm with his claws to try and pry the blade out. Neither could get much head-way at first, but Grendrick would not be over-powered so easily and he refused to die to such vermin. Grendrick immediately latched his fangs into the neck of the Skaven and he tore away, shredding skin and muscle alike as well as clipping the Skaven's left juggular.
The Rat cried out in pain as it released Grendrick and reached for it's neck, and this was Grendrick's moment as he quickly made a bit of distance between him and his opponent and then unleashed a flurry of attacks, he swung his long arms with arcing razor claws to cleave against the Rat. The Rat was helpless for a moment and while it seemed it would be over quickly, the Rat wasn't ready to die either for it pushed against the odds of Grendrick and the Rat raised it's arms to withstand the attacks and then it quickly tucked itself down and rolled to left, avoiding the last few attacks from the wolf and putting them once again at a fair distance apart, outside of each other's reach.
"Filthy Dog! I use your fur as a loincloth!" The Skaven Commander screeched out in pain and anger at Grendrick as he panted and scowled. The Rat couldn't help but grunt and squeal in moments of pain as his injuries over-rid the adrenaline.
"Foul Mouse! You will make a great snack!" Grendrick roared back at the Skaven in anger and dominance, his own wounds very much evident and writhing in pain, but Grendrick would have to push past it, if he planned to face his enemy, and survive to reach reality once again.
