The Price of Free Sushi

Pyrrhic was hot on the heels of a nuisance bear. The beast had done a fair amount of damage to Benkos' horde in a small amount of time. The elder mandrill had been incensed so the horde had been dispatched to deal with the beast. Pyrrhic, friends at this point with many of the horde, felt it necessary to join the hunt. In the process of looking he'd gotten separated from the rest. His howls to alert them of the trail he'd found had gone unanswered so he now followed it alone. The titan would have continued to do so had not the sound of a scuffle drawn him in for a closer look.

He arrived on the scene just in time to watch the odd pair fall from the tree. The bear going after a small cat was enough to solidify his opinion that the bear needed to go. Pyrrhic briefly threw back his head and called for the horde - it was doubtful they were nearby but he had to try - and then he charged forward. The bear had landed on its back which meant it was vulnerable. He would have a very small window of opportunity to do real damage.

His eyes settled on the bear's exposed neck. Where the eyes went the mouth soon followed. Pyrrhic lunged for the left side of the bear's neck. He was coming from behind, approaching the back of the bear's neck. No doubt it had heard him howl but he was hoping it hadn't seen him yet. If he could sneak up on its blind spot perhaps he'd get in a lucky blow.
