Subject: Always making an entrance...

A feral Portal erupts into existance, galactic winds buffeting those nearby and erratically spiralling colors tangling the mind around impossible pathways of thought and sensation. A spicy smell is also given off, the brightness increases, and a body is transmitted from another planet to crumple to Terole's surface. With a deafening crash, like that of nearby thunder, the Portal disappears.

The creature appears to be lifeless, wounds scarring his sleek pelt and rich blood seeping weakly from severed vessels. Were the male healthy, he would be tall and well-built, rather handsome in fact. Three toes on each forepaw curl limply, long claws semi-retracted. Koratian hind paws are also slack, and a scythe-shaped tailblade that branches off from the long, powerful tail in a tuft of fur is broken and jagged-edged, the quick oozing droplets of blood. The claws and blade are strangely-hued, pale golden but bronzed copper on the edges and tips. A canine head lets a pink tongue loll past saberfangs, long sinuous neck twisted at an unusual angle, long and slim ears torn to bloody shreds. Slender limbs are crumpled underneath the deep chest and slim waist, blood staining the joints. Bronze underfur serves only the highlight what antique-gold fur is unmarred by blood, black stripes criss-crossing limbs, tail, and neck, and ebony coating his muzzle like the blood dribbling past his jaws. Only some of the snowy white underside is still white and not stained scarlet.

The young Korayat male had had a run-in with a larger, stronger, and highly irate Korat red when his boasting had gone so far as to prick the red's pride and incidentally start a fight. For all his faults, the Korayat is a fearsome warrior and survived the Korat's wrath... though not without mortal wounds. The deep chest weakly, oh-so-slightly, rises, then falls in a wheeze. One eye flutters open weakly, emerald green flecking the amber-orange iris, black lashes stark against the pale orb. Living creatures are spotted, and a sky different than he had remembered. The eye sinks shut, and Jonrao exhales sharply, trying to get some attention and perhaps, some aid?
