Instantly returning to an upright and ready position, Kyle is not surprised by Giselle’s flip. He is however totally surprised by the arrival of the tiger sized black beast. He is bowled over backwards as the huge forepaws impact with his breastplate. Landing on his back the wind is knocked out of his lungs which is only compounded the weight of the beast pinning him down.<br/><br/>Even though Kyle is down and under the great cat, if this were not a practice session the beast would be dead. The currently blunted blade is pressed hard enough against the cat’s throat to impair its breathing and keep the huge head from descending for a bite. Struggling to both breathe and hold the beast at bay he still manages to gasp out, “Ok Giselle, call off your pet.”
