th</sup> stance, a dodge by ducking away in one smooth movement while his hands received the attack. He could feel the feedback as his palms landed on the beast and he guided its charge away, made it bounce against one of its members in the pack. These beasts looked like giant lions, but with very thick fur that shimmered in a dark green luster almost like the shell of a beetle. They did behave like a pack of wolves though, trying to encircle and then attack him from blind spots. Aaron’s reactions were still too slow, many times he was half a step behind and screwing up the timing meant usually he was getting hit, if not killed. His counter attacks, throws and palm strikes were just slower than they needed to be and often he chose the wrong part of the kata to respond with. It was frustrating more than anything, but it also gave him a lot of room for improvement. And to get used to short bursts of pain.
