drinking sacred fire

 

The bear roared and even though she couldn't see what had caused it, Valkyrie smiled to herself. Eyrun had done as she had expected. Knowing this, Valkyrie felt it safe to turn back. What she hadn't expected to see upon turning around was a wolf climbing the bear. Her smile faded, at first fearing it was one of hers foolishly scaling the massive predator, and then his unusual features jumped out at her. He wasn't one of hers. Her smirk returned. It wouldn't bother her if the bear killed him.

With its leg injured and the weight of the big wolf on its back, the bear staggered to the side. While it fought for balance Valkyrie seized the opportunity to get in close. She darted around behind it and then rammed her shoulder into its uninjured leg while biting into its thigh. Hopefully this was enough to send the creature over onto its back. The stranger wasn't going to crash anything. She was.
