its a kodiak moment

Despite the literal bloodletting Eliphas didn’t look away. He watched as the stranger tore through the bear’s face with her spear before having her own flesh rendered by the claws of the massive creature. As he watched he also added in a word that he wouldn’t be focused on when the bear was dead. She knew what she was doing, and was deft in her use of the spear. Eliphas continued his chant to bolster her abilities and influence the end result in his position beyond their reach. He pivoted with their movement, but stopped as she wrangled the murderous creature to the ground.

He hadn’t been in this much danger in a long time, but he distinctly remembered his father fighting off a much smaller black bear. Much like he was doing now he had chanted for his father’s victory. Of course the giant of a Druid won his son’s life and Eliphas stood to this day. He wasn’t a stranger to having to be guarded. He was foolish to have gone beyond the forest without anyone to accompany him.
