Roan appeared at the border of the Armada and met up with Sirius and Resin and (the four of them?) continued onward towards the direction where he first met Iolaire. Where she found him broken and bleeding in that cave bear’s den. They would go now and finally take its life where it took the life of his sister and countless other wolves.
By the time they reached those hallowed grounds night was beginning to fall. Roan didn’t take the chance to go right up to the cave, he stopped a mile from their destination. They needed to rest and they needed a game plan. ”Alright, we’re nearly there.” Roan couldn’t keep his eye from the direction of the cave as he tried to hand over leadership to Sirius. ”Sirius, do you have a plan?” If the three wizened warriors could not figure out a good action plan they deserved what the bear gave them.

The controlling, protective Alpha could only let this fight happen if he took lead. His need to protect those in his pack superseded any other option. He had fought a few times now with Roan, and the healed warrior had impressed him enough that Sirius had finally agreed that it was time. He knew Roan needed to do this, and he would not have asked the scarred man to stand down. All the same, he was glad to have Resin at his side. The old scarred warrior might not be in her prime, but she was formidable, and clever. She was heavy set, and well she did not meet his height, she was the closest in this merry band to Sirius’s weight class.
Io was closer to all this then he would have liked. He allowed it only because he knew what she felt for Roan, and it would have been cruel to ask her to say in the safety of the territory. She was support only, but he couldn’t help shooting occasionally, worried glances at his beautiful sister. If the bear got close to her, he would throw all common sense in the wind to save her. She was, in this group, his greatest weakness.
“I’ll draw him out” Sirius said, nodding to Roan as he asked for his plan. “I want you two on either side, wait for him to show, and once he’s engaged with me, go for vitals, go for easy crippling, leg tendons, ect.” he looked to both warriors to ensure they understood.

The call came from her daughter's man. He wanted to take out the bear that had taken the life of his sibling, which was fair. The maned woman had agreed to help him per Iolaire's request, and so when he called, she abandoned her patrolling duties and she came, though at her own pace. When she arrived, the other two were there. No... three.
"You aren't going in." The woman shot her single eyed gaze at her daughter. Just as Sirius had been thinking, Iolaire would be a liability. She would bring weakness and divided thought. They couldn't have that and she was sure that her daughter would understand. "We'll call for you when we're ready."
Sirius laid out a plan at Roan's request and, even though she didn't like being dictated to, it was one that she could agree to. "I'll take its legs." With her specialized teeth, it was easy to sever tendons with a single bite. Had she not done the same with a crazed, wolf-hungry tiger not weeks ago?

He left his fear at the border of the Armada’s lands, there was no room for the emotion. He was all focused on his game. Roan stood tall, and gave Iolaire one last kiss before the plan was laid out before them. Roan wanted to be in charge, this was his bear to kill. However, Sirius was his alpha, and the fanged warlord needed to be the one to call the shots. This was an exercise in trust, he had to trust Sirius and Resin both.
The alpha was quick to set up his plan, and it seemed simple enough and Roan couldn’t disagree with any of it. Sirrius was the biggest, and the most likely to get the massive cave bear’s attention. Roan nodded affirmatively, Resin was quick to mention that she would take on the bear’s rear legs. He couldn’t deny she had an excellent point. ”I want its throat.” He offered with a strong conviction. Roan wanted to claim the bear’s life like he wasn’t able to so long ago. He’d get his revenge for Dapple, he’d present his wedding gift to his future wife, and he would finally be able to move on.
Roan didn’t hesitate to follow Sirius towards the entrance of the cave, he positioned himself to the side of the cave. He set his defenses and readied himself for the beast to be lured out.

He would give the wolf who could be described almost as his adopted mother an approving nod. Perhaps Io would listen to her as she did not to him.
They all added their touches to the plan, and Sirius grinned, and gave Roan a rough nudge with his shoulder, showing a hint of camaraderie with the motion. He knew that Roan needed the kill shot, and if the man found a way to take it, Sirius would only aid him. He was putting himself in the path of the greatest danger, because he could not bear it to be any other way. He trusted these two wolves to have his back, and do the damage.
The amusement faded, and seriousness overtook all as the Warlord moved forward. He made no effort to hide his passage, letting his heavy feet hit the earth hard, and his breathing echo across the chamber of the cave. Once his two companions had had a moment to move to the sides, he would raise his head and howl one predator to another. A challenge that could not be ignored.

The men howled, alerting the ursine to their presence, but Resin was quiet. She prompted the pair down the ramp and into the main, sunlit chamber. It would make a good battleground and would make it more difficult for the bear to escape. She knew that Iolaire would be up top somewhere. She wasn't going to risk having a giant, injured bear running straight into the small fae.
Down at the bottom of the wide, open chamber, the giantess prepared herself. In her mind, she flipped a switch. War mode activated. She stared off into the darkness ahead. The acrid stench of bear was thick in the air. It was here. She knew it was here. And then, from the darkness, came that familiar panting groan. It was coming.
"Ready yourselves," the one-eyed woman growled. Widening her stance, she continued to watch the darkness. It seemed as though it took forever, but eventually a shape moved within the shadows. It was a hulking beast. Larger than any bear she'd ever seen. It was old and covered with scars. This bear knew battle. This wouldn't be easy and for that, Resin was glad. Though she was old, the woman enjoyed a challenge. Her pulse began to race, blood pumping through her corded muscles. Behind her, she couldn't stop her tail from lashing back and forth. She was ready.

Roan knew it was foolish to try and go out of his way to take the kill shot, he would be in the same amount of danger as the other two. Especially with Sirius at the front. Roan could focus on no greater desire in those moments. At the back of his mind he knew that he must return to his dear Iolaire, but his foremost thought was how best to enact his revenge. The corner of his lip pulled back in amusement as Sirius nudged him understandingly.
The three wolves got themselves into position, physically and mentally. Roan shed all thoughts of past or future, because the present was the only thing that mattered. She took in a deep breath, steadied himself, and Sirius called out lone and hauntingly. Only a few heartbeats passed when the bear appeared before them, it’s eyes fixed on the warlord that had disturbed its slumber. Roan quietly pressed himself against the rock face, blending into the shadow at the creature lumbered past him.
It had eyes only for Sirius, and however slow its movement Roan couldn’t forget the speed that the beast had shown in its attack towards himself and his sister. Dapple hadn’t been fast enough either, but he was here now. She would be avenged. The great creature aimed an attack at Sirius, rearing up in the cavern and slashing impossibly long claws in his direction. Roan acted as the bear did.
From behind Roan aimed to mount the creature’s back as it fell back to all fours. He’d grasp tightly to the back of its neck and he’d hold on for dear life. At least to the point where he could get his final grasp.
