Surprise Attack

"Let's keep going, I thought I saw-" Mortifer was cut off by a shriek nearby, one that sounded almost like a howl. Victor by now was trembling, more from the cold than the potential danger, but he stuck close to Mortifer just in case.

"What was that?" Victor shouted, to which he received a glare from Mortifer to stay silent. Before either of the stryx could react further, a huge white shape, one almost as big as Mortifer, came hurtling towards them, colliding with the gryph at full speed.

Mortifer cried out as he was struck, droplets of crimson staining the snow where he'd fallen. Victor felt his stomach drop at the sight, running up to Mortifer but being blocked by a sudden presence in front of him.

A giant, pure white, velvet rhakos stood in his way, jaws dripping with drool that was streaked with blood. Victor squeaked out a response, nothing comprehensible but a sound of fear indeed.

Part of an RP segement between me and Eulas , felt inspired to draw this specific part after writing it.

Featuring Mortifer and Victor being interrupted by Shard on their way up to the mines to return a lost windhound collar-barrel in the middle of a snowstorm.
