Spring is unBearable

Askr circled above them as Éldi eyed the bear who showed no signs of backing down. Her jaws were open, teeth glistening and she took a few thunderous steps forward. The stranger rushed forward and Éldi followed close behind, knowing they'd have their best chance if they worked together. While the other wolf assaulted the bear from the front, Éldi rushed towards the bear's hind left leg, seeking to angle himself in toward the front of the bear's thigh. He charged in and latched his jaws around the bears knee, quickly thrashing his head to do as much damage as possible before bounding away. If he could hit important joints and tendons perhaps he could help slow the bear's movements and make his companion's work easier.

Speaking of companions he heard Askr cry out. "Éldi, there are cubs nearby!" He swore. No wonder this bear was being particularly aggressive. They'd have to step up their game. He wished for a moment he could speak bear and explain that they had no interest in her cubs, only in the kill but there was no time to waste on suppositions. With the bears attention on the other wolf it was time to make another move. He dove in once more for the bear, this time aiming for the back of her left ankle. His fangs dug in deep as he thrashed his head, this time maintaining his grip. She stumbled and snarled before twisting around to get at him. Éldi hung on and tried to move with her but the sheer force of her strength ripped her ankle right out from his jaws and a solid blow from her paw sent him tumbling away. His head slammed into the ground leaving him stunned for a minute. At that moment Askr dove for the bear's face, talon's extended and slashing at the bear's face.
