His paws ripped at the loose rocks trying to find a way in and help. But a flash of black fur rushed past him, and all he saw was the bear. His hind spun around quickly, his ears going down to his cap but he was only alarmed by the female who had tracked the monster. Midnight leaped into the break that awaken had created, for she was small enough to slip through. His ears heard as Gargoyle shouted an order and jumped in after her.

In an instant, his paws leaped onto the declining slope, the stone ripping at his paw pads, his legs struggling to keep balance on the slippery rock. And of course all failed, his legs collapsing and his knees breaking his fall before he flipped on the slope and slumped to the ground. But there was no time to waste, and the top half of his body pushed off the ground as he jumped up from the falling position on his back. Some blood dripped from his knees, but the pain had held off until later.

He didn't dare look down at the scrapes as he stood in wait for his packmates. The crashing and the rumbling that escaped from the cracks of the barricaded cave. He could almost not take any longer, he had to help them some how, and so his body started hopping toward the break in the rock when he then heard Gargoyles voice calling him. He did not know if the other two made it out, but his eyes looked up at gargoyle, his two front paws at the very bottom of the path. And so he reared up on his hind legs and hopped over to the stone wall waiting for the monster to breach it.

The stones rumbled, pebbles falling down from the loose cracks and Odin inhaled sweetly as he braced himself for what was to come.

He was right, about the other side being weaker than the side that came stinking down. And as the bear broke through, looking for the molted male who last hit him, he found Odin instead. The beast's faded eye spun around and searched for the lost target, his nose moving quickly in the air. But not long after he saw the grey brute standing slightly to the side did his paw come down to claw at his face.

It seemed like the world had slowed down, a large paw of sharp, blood-stained claws rose in the air and instantly swiped down toward the wolf before him. And Odin's eyes closed themselves to prepare the upcoming attack. And so, he moved.

He shifted all his weight to the left side, sliding his rear end away from the oversized beast. The paw came pounding to the ground as the bear was now on 4 legs. Odin pushed himself off the ground using all the power in his hind legs, aiming to grab at his neck like the others. But the bear turned to snap at his new target, and Odin latched onto his ear. The furious bear thrashed himself away from the pain, which only caused Odin's powerful grip to rip the fragile ear off and send him flying into the piled stones. He could only hope the others were here now as he spit out the flexible cartilage of blood.
