Bear Bonanza

The snaggle-toothed male rose onto his hind legs, towering over Lynvarr before letting out a terrible, spine-tingling roar. This was not a fight Lyn wanted. He dove to the side, hoping to use his speed to get around the bear but it was much faster than he anticipated. The bear landed on all four feet then took off after him. It was massive! He could feel the bear's breath on his haunches. He leapt as the bear tried to slice open his hips. He avoided the brunt of the attack but the bear's arm still caught his feet, sweeping his legs out from under him and sending him crashing into the dirt. Shit! Lynvarr got to his feet just in time to avoid being bear food. The bear's fangs missed his scruff but sliced fine lines across the top of his right shoulder as he put on a burst of speed and dove toward the den where the pup was supposed to be hiding.
