i was born, on the highway, in a train wreck
with a heart, that was beating, out of my chest
Snarl's kick narrowly avoided colliding with his face, mainly due to the fact that he yanked his head back just in time, watching her carefully as she rolled to her feet, along with her quick reaction to the flames bursting up around her. Aurum felt energy gathering around him as he rushed forward, and he grinned when his teleportation tactic was successful, his body crushing down on the hyena's. His claws found purchase in her thick fur, dragging down her sides as she flung herself wildly from side to side, eventually managing to scramble out from underneath him. A few flaps of his large wings enabled him to keep from crashing into the ground, landing on his paws again after a moment. His one eye remained intensely focused on Snarl as he watched her race around the flames, evidently looking for a chance to break into defenses. He watched as she rushed at his side, a low snarl leaving him as she bit down. Her bite was successful, but before she could attempt to tear, Aurum aimed to bring one powerful wing down between her and his body, trying to slam it into her and get her away from him, towards the flames surrounding them. It would hurt a bit, allowing her to tear just the slightest bit as he knocked her away if he was successful, but it wouldn't be as bad as if he let her go through with the full extent of her attack.
If he was successful, he would then turn towards her, rushing forward towards her while she was dazed, and aimed to pin her down with his two powerful paws and dig his teeth into her side, trying to inflict as much pain and as little damage as possible in order to wear her down. If he wasn't successful in flicking her away with his wing, he would swing his head in her direction, lunging down to aim to grab her by the back of the scruff and fling her towards the fire, hoping she would land either very close to it or very near to it so he could rush in. Either way, the lion knew well that he would have to rush in and get a grip on Snarl's neck, knowing that if he was able to get his powerful jaws around her thick neck, it would be game over, and the fight would be ruled in his favor. Even through thick pelt and skin, Aurum knew well how the powerful muscles in his jaws could snap through muscle and bone like it was nothing, and if it were a real fight, that would be the end of Snarl's life. After all, that had been how he had killed Kydobi, crunching down on the important muscles and bones within the jaguar's neck and tearing through until the life left the male's eyes.
