Bear Attack!

I wish you could see me for something more than the things I'm confined and condemned to be
Stjarna slunk down amongst the roots of the tree, too scared to move, too scared to cry out. The nurse-maid had dropped her off here, near a pack border, wished her the best of luck and then simply disappeared. It had been a harrowing journey for harrowing reasons and Star just wished she'd wake up already. She squeezed her eyes shut. The sun was almost set and the air grew chillier, it was then she heard the sound of something big moving around in the forest. Her fur stood on end. Oh no! She looked around wildly then screamed as she saw a giant grizzly bear heading toward her, drool lacing its massive fangs.

Álarr gathered a mix of fruit, seeking to make a fruit wine that he could later use with some of his tinctures. He'd also considered maybe doing some elderberry wine. He was in the midst of gathering the berries when he heard a child scream. Immediately he dropped what he was doing and raced toward the source of the sound, assuming it was one of Avalon's young one's in trouble. He arrived to find himself half right. A large grizzly bear was menacing a blue-pelted child and Merlin was in the midst of it all trying to hold off the bear.
Álarr didn't pause, instead running faster to build up momentum before lowering his horns and slamming into the bear's side. A roar of pain ripped from the beast's jaws as Álarr's horns ripped right through its flesh and into its abdomen. The beast snarled and turned, trying to reach him.

Stjarna frizzed up, her fur on end, the bear lunged and she swiped it across the nose with her claws. It snarled, wiping at its nose but the little attack was only a momentary distraction as the bear went to lunge for her. Star's heart raced but before the bear could reach her a yearling boy placed himself between her and the bear, snarling and snapping at it, pushing the creature back. Stjarna wanted to help but in the moment she was paralyzed with fear and uncertain what to do. At that moment another wolf arrived, an older one with horns, he immediately stabbed the bear and it whirled on him, its attention entirely only the man.
She couldn't let them fight alone, not for her, so she charged forward, slamming her side into the bear's lower hind leg claws digging in as she released an electric shock from her limbs.

Álarr tensed, feeling the strain on his neck muscles as the bear finally struck, back-handing him sharply away and dislodging his horns. With one nuisance removed the bear focused back on the yearling. Álarr stumbled to his feet, shaking out his head and trying to get his bearings. He saw Merlin doing his best to hold the bear's attention. This time Álarr circled round to the bear's front, standing next to Merlin for a moment til he lowered his head and snarled, jumping forward and brandishing his horns. The bear roared and stood up, taking a few steps back. Blood was seeping from the earlier wounds now that there was nothing to stop the flow.

The bear roared and Star held on as long as she could before she was flung off and sent rolling along the ground. She struggled to get back to her feet, feeling dazed. She saw the other boy barking and snarling at the bear, holding onto its attention while the older man readied another attack. Star bounded up, racing over to join the others in snarling at the wolf, trying to drive it away. She frizzed up, hackles raised to make herself look as big as possible. Not that it probably made too much of a difference but hopefully the bear would realize how risky it was to fight 3 to 1.

Álarr leapt forward, brandishing his horns and the bear twisted to the side to land on all fours, shuffling away from him. The large predator eyed the group of wolves one last time before turning and stumbling away. Álarr remained tensed and ready, just in case the beast changed its mind but thankfully it raced away and didn't turn back. Álarr let out a sigh and turned to the boy with a nod. "Good work, Merlin. Thank you."
He then turned to the strange pup that had been the start of all this. "Are you alright, young one? What are you doing out here? Where are your parents?" He would have thought the commotion would have brought them running and yet he saw no sign of any adult strangers. That did not bode well and he had a sinking feeling the pup had been abandoned.

Stjarna breathed a sigh of relief as the bear finally turned and left. She collapsed, flopping on her rear and taking great gulps of air. The horned man came over to her, asking her if she was alright and she nodded. That was the easy question. When he asked about her parents suddenly everything welled up inside her and she burst into tears. She struggled to speak but finally managed to choke out a few words. "She… left… me." She'd been taken to this land and dumped and then almost eaten and she didn't know what to do. She looked up at the man with a pleading look.

Álarr flinched as the girl began to cry, mumbled words that led him to the conclusion that she'd been abandoned. Well, shit. He didn't know how to comfort her, let alone what to do with her. The only thing that was clear was that he couldn't simply just toss her out on her own, nor could he return her to the mother only for her to be re-abandoned. Fuck, what was he getting himself into. "Easy, easy. You'll be ok. You can stay with me here in Avalon. I'm sure my alphess won't mind. She's a very nice lady, very smart. You'll like her." Álarr tipped back his head and howled for Corbie, hoping she could add some order to this mess they'd found themselves in.
